Take-Two: GTA 6 pre-orders reach unprecedented levels

Ten days before launch, the company that publishes GTA 6 says pre-orders are still reaching unprecedented levels. In Take-Two’s Q2 fiscal 2027 results, released through Business Wire on 9 November 2026, Chairman and CEO Strauss Zelnick said: “The launch of Grand Theft Auto VI is ten days away and, with pre-orders continuing to reach unprecedented levels, we expect to deliver an historic year for our company.”

What the numbers say

The release gives no pre-order total, no unit count and no revenue split for GTA VI, so “unprecedented” is Zelnick’s word and a measure of nothing we can put a figure on. What it does give is the money around it.

• Guidance: Take-Two reiterates fiscal 2027 (ending 31 March 2027) Net Bookings of $8.0 billion to $8.2 billion.
• The launch quarter: the initial outlook for the fiscal third quarter, 1 October to 31 December 2026, is Net Bookings of $3.35 billion to $3.50 billion. That quarter contains 19 November.
• The last quarter: fiscal Q2 (July to September 2026) Net Bookings were $1.60 billion, down 18% from $1.96 billion a year earlier. The Grand Theft Auto series is listed among the largest contributors.
• The date: the release’s list of announced games shows Grand Theft Auto VI for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on 19 November 2026.

The outlook comes with a stated assumption: “the timely delivery of the titles included in this financial outlook.”

Where this leaves you

For the buyer, the practical facts live elsewhere: the pre-order page has what you get with a pre-order, the price page has the editions and prices, and the release date page has the unlock time for your region.
