Take-Two Interactive published its results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2027 (the three months ended September 30, 2026) on November 9, 2026, after the US market close. For GTA 6 fans, the headline is simple: the official release once again lists Grand Theft Auto VI for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026, and Take-Two’s CEO says pre-orders are at “unprecedented levels”. This article covers only what Take-Two stated in its official earnings release. We don’t include analyst estimates or unofficial reports.
The CEO statement on GTA VI
Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two Interactive, is quoted in the release:
“The launch of Grand Theft Auto VI is ten days away and, with pre-orders continuing to reach unprecedented levels, we expect to deliver an historic year for our company. We are reiterating our outlook for Fiscal 2027 Net Bookings of $8 to $8.2 billion, and are confident in our ability to build on this incredible year as we release new hits, explore emerging business opportunities, expand our geographic footprint, and pursue accretive M&A: all of which will set us on a path to unlock greater earnings power and long-term shareholder value.”
Two things stand out. Take-Two describes the launch as ten days away, which matches the November 19 date. And it calls pre-orders “unprecedented”, but the release gives no pre-order or unit figures for GTA VI. Any specific pre-order number you see elsewhere did not come from this release.
Release date and platforms: November 19, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S
In the table of “Take-Two’s future lineup announced to-date”, the company lists:
| Label | Product | Platforms | Release date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rockstar Games | Grand Theft Auto VI | PS5, Xbox Series X|S | November 19, 2026 |
This matches what Rockstar shows on rockstargames.com/VI. All the details on timing are in our release hub, the pre-load news and the unlock times.
What about a PC version?
The release does not announce a PC version of GTA VI. Take-Two lists PC for other titles in the same tables, for example NBA 2K27 and Ghost Story Games’ Judas, but the Grand Theft Auto VI row names only PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The only other mention of PC is a general assumption behind the outlook about “leveraging opportunities on PC, mobile and other platforms”. It doesn’t refer to GTA VI or give any date. Our status is unchanged: a PC version is not officially announced. You’ll find the background in PC version: not officially announced and on our PC page.
The quarter in official numbers
According to the release, for the quarter ended September 30, 2026:
- Net Bookings fell 18% to $1.60 billion, compared with $1.96 billion a year earlier.
- Net Bookings from recurrent consumer spending (virtual currency, add-ons, in-game purchases and ads) fell 9% and made up 81% of total Net Bookings.
- GAAP net revenue was $1.50 billion, compared with $1.77 billion a year earlier.
- GAAP net loss was $54.0 million, or $0.29 per share, compared with $133.9 million, or $0.73 per share, a year earlier.
- The Grand Theft Auto series and the Red Dead Redemption series were among the largest contributors to Net Bookings, alongside NBA 2K, Toon Blast, Match Factory!, Empires & Puzzles, Borderlands, Words With Friends, Color Block Jam, WWE 2K and Zynga Poker.
Outlook: the GTA VI quarter
The fiscal third quarter ends December 31, 2026, so it is the quarter in which GTA VI launches. Take-Two gave this initial outlook for it:
- Net Bookings: $3.35 to $3.50 billion
- GAAP net revenue: $3.27 to $3.42 billion
- Diluted net income per share: $1.30 to $1.44
For the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, Take-Two reiterated Net Bookings of $8.0 to $8.2 billion. It now expects GAAP net revenue of $7.98 to $8.18 billion, diluted net income per share of $0.57 to $0.75, and operating cash flow of more than $1.0 billion. One of the assumptions listed behind this outlook is “the timely delivery of the titles included in this financial outlook”, along with continued growth in the installed base of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Earnings call and slide deck
Take-Two held a conference call at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time (22:30 CET), with a webcast and replay on its investor relations website. The release also points to a second-quarter slide deck posted there. This article is based on the written release. If the call or the slides add official GTA VI details, we’ll report them separately.
Bottom line
- Confirmed again: GTA VI launches November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
- Pre-orders: described as “unprecedented”, but no numbers were published.
- PC: not mentioned for GTA VI, so there is still no official PC version or date.
