The release of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) has been delayed to May 26, 2026, causing Take-Two Interactive's Shares to drop 9 per cent.
The Game, a cornerstone of Take-Two's business, was initially anticipated in the fall of 2025 and is expected to generate billions in sales annually.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick supports Rockstar Games' decision for the delay, emphasizing the prioritization of quality and a groundbreaking gaming experience.
The delay pushes GTA VI out of Take-Two's fiscal 2026 release window, impacting booking expectations, but the company anticipates record net bookings in both fiscal 2026 and 2027.
Despite the delay, Take-Two has other titles lined up for the next fiscal year, including Borderlands 4 and Mafia: The Old Country.
