Take-Two says GTA 6 pre-orders are “continuing to reach unprecedented levels” with ten days to go before launch. In its second quarter results on 9 November, the publisher kept its full-year forecast of $8 billion to $8.2 billion in Net Bookings, a target that rests largely on GTA 6 launching on 19 November.

What Take-Two said about GTA 6 pre-orders
The key line comes from Zelnick’s statement at the top of the earnings release:
“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.”
Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO, Take-Two Interactive
Take-Two did not publish a pre-order figure. According to RockstarIntel, the slide deck that came with the results says pre-orders are “tracking far above our initial expectations” and that “the numbers will speak for themselves soon enough”. RockstarIntel also reports that the deck mentions strong sales of the Ultimate Edition. We could not open the deck ourselves, so treat that wording as reported.
GTA 6 release date and platforms confirmed again
Take-Two’s list of upcoming games has one Rockstar title on it:
| Label | Game | Platforms | Release date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rockstar Games | Grand Theft Auto VI | PS5, Xbox Series X|S | November 19, 2026 |
That is the same date and the same two platforms Rockstar has given since the second delay in November 2025. There is still no PC version on the list, and nothing new about an online mode. Our pages on GTA 6 on PC and GTA 6 Online have everything Take-Two and Rockstar have said so far.
Take-Two’s forecast: what GTA 6 has to deliver
The quarter itself, July to September, had no GTA 6 money in it. Net Bookings fell 18% to $1.60 billion, and Take-Two posted a GAAP net loss of $54.0 million. The big jump is expected in the next two quarters.
| Period | Net Bookings |
|---|---|
| Q2 FY27 (July to September 2026), actual | $1.60 billion |
| Q3 FY27 (October to December 2026), forecast | $3.35 to $3.5 billion |
| Full year FY27 (to 31 March 2027), forecast | $8.0 to $8.2 billion |
Net Bookings is Take-Two’s own measure of what it sold digitally or shipped physically in a period. The forecast is not a GTA 6 sales figure, but GTA 6 is the only major new release Take-Two has dated before 31 March.
When will we get GTA 6 sales numbers?
Take-Two has not said when it will share a number. The slide deck line reported by RockstarIntel, “soon enough”, suggests a figure could follow after launch. The pre-load started on 10 November, the physical code-in-box edition hits stores on 12 November, and the game unlocks at midnight local time on 19 November.
