Take-Two sticks with 'GTA VI' launch timeline, forecasts annual bookings below estimates

Take-Two Interactive confirmed the GTA VI launch remains on track for November 19, 2026, per its latest financial guidance. However, the company projected annual revenue for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, would fall below current market estimates, citing challenges in monetizing live services and shifting consumer spending. The update comes as investors weigh the impact of delayed revenue recognition from GTA VI’s pre-launch sales model, which Take-Two noted will stretch earnings into future periods. For players, the unchanged release date reinforces stability in expectations, though financial uncertainties could influence long-term development resources or post-launch support strategies once the game launches.
