Take-Two's last word before GTA 6: November 19 restated, pre-orders "unprecedented", and the forecast unchanged
Take-Two reported its July to September results on November 9, ten days before GTA 6. The date was restated, the full-year forecast was repeated at 8.0 to 8.2 billion dollars, and no pre-order number was given.
GTA 6 launches on November 19. Take-Two said so again on Monday, November 9, with its results for July to September, the last scheduled time the company had to say it before the game ships. "The launch of Grand Theft Auto VI is ten days away," chief executive Strauss Zelnick said.
What was said about GTA 6
Confirmed. The results release lists Grand Theft Auto VI for November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Nothing about the date or the platforms changed.
Confirmed. The full-year forecast was repeated. "We are reiterating our outlook for Fiscal 2027 Net Bookings of $8 to $8.2 billion," Zelnick said. That forecast, for the year to March 2027, was set with GTA 6 launching in November, so repeating it ten days out is the clearest signal the company gave about the launch.
Confirmed. Pre-orders: Zelnick said they are "continuing to reach unprecedented levels". He gave no number. The only figures in public are outside estimates, such as Sensor Tower's 7.71 million.
The quarter itself
Confirmed. Net bookings for July to September came in at $1.60 billion, down 18 percent from $1.96 billion a year earlier and just under the company's own forecast of $1.62 to $1.67 billion. Revenue was $1.50 billion and the net loss was $54.0 million, smaller than the $133.9 million loss a year before.
Confirmed. For October to December, the quarter that includes launch, Take-Two forecast net bookings of $3.35 to $3.5 billion. That is about double the quarter it just reported, and GTA 6 is the reason.
What was not said
The release does not mention a PC version, an online mode for GTA 6, or a sales target in copies. We have not yet read a full transcript of the call, so we are not reporting what was or was not asked there. If the transcript adds anything about the game, we will update this story.
What it means for players
Nothing about the game changed tonight. The date is November 19 and pre-load opens tomorrow, November 10, and our launch week calendar has every day between now and then. The first real sales numbers will come with Take-Two's next report, early in 2027.
