Rockstar Owner Take-Two Confirms GTA 6 Release Date Still on Track, Says ‘GTA 6: An Extended Look’ Will Help Grow ‘Consumers’ Passion and Anticipation’

Rockstar owner Take-Two has confirmed the current November 19 GTA 6 release date is still on track, and insisted the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look will help grow “consumers’ passion and anticipation” for the game.

Reporting what it called “excellent” results for the first quarter of its 2027 financial year, Take-Two said the Grand Theft Auto series had “once again exceeded expectations,” with sales of GTA 5 over 230 million worldwide and 3% growth of the series overall in terms of microtransactions. GTA 5 is the second best-selling video game of all time, behind only Minecraft’s 400 million copies sold.

In its financial statement, Take-Two said “global excitement for the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 continues to build, with the title having an exceptional start to preorders.” It did not put a number on those GTA 6 preorders or revenue generated from them, however recent analysis suggests GTA 6 generated approximately $180 million in digital preorders across the U.S. and the five biggest European markets during the last week of June (GTA 6 preorders went live at midnight, June 25). Overall revenue for the quarter was $1.39 billion, which was slightly above Take-Two’s prediction of $1.32-$1.37 billion.
