Take-Two has reaffirmed that GTA 6 remains on track for its planned November 19, 2026 release. In a proxy statement filed with the SEC today ahead of September's Annual Meeting, Take-Two has formally reaffirmed GTA 6's November 19 release date. This isn't an earnings report or a marketing update - it's an official shareholder filing that provides information ahead of the company's Annual Meeting, covering topics such as board elections, executive pay and corporate governance, while also including a letter from CEO Strauss Zelnick outlining the company's outlook. In his letter, Zelnick says FY2027 has the potential to be "a major inflection point", "defined by groundbreaking entertainment experiences", led by the planned November 19 release of GTA 6, alongside "creative and operational excellence" and "record Net Bookings." Looking back on FY2026, he also says "each of our labels exceeded our initial expectations", with "Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto series continu[ing] to drive significant Net Bookings and deep engagement with its passionate community of players." The document also reveals several interesting insights: • The Grand Theft Auto series "continued to outpace expectations significantly" and demonstrated "strong momentum leading up to the planned launch of Grand Theft Auto VI on November 19th." • GTA Online's A Safehouse in the Hills was described as "one of the best-performing updates in its history." • GTA+ delivered significant year-over-year growth, supported by seasonal content updates. Finally, Take-Two says it expects to generate more than $1 billion in operating cash flow during FY2027, giving it the flexibility to invest in technology, pursue acquisitions and maximise the commercial potential of its franchises.
