Summary
Take-Two said Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders have far exceeded its internal forecasts, but withheld figures and kept its fiscal 2027 net bookings outlook at $8.0 billion to $8.2 billion.
Q1 fiscal 2027 revenue reached $1.39 billion, above Take-Two's $1.32 billion to $1.37 billion guidance, while management warned pre-orders can still be canceled.
August 27 marks the next major marketing beat: "Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look" premieres on Netflix at 3 p.m. ET before moving to Rockstar's YouTube channel and GTA VI site at 9 p.m. ET.
Strauss Zelnick called the stream only "one of the hors d'oeuvres," signaling more promotion ahead of GTA 6's November 19, 2026 launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The release remains digital-only at launch, with the Standard Edition priced at $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition at $99.99.
