A delay that comes out GTA VI from the fiscal year 2026
At the closing of the markets Thursday evening, the action of Take-Two was worth $ 235.17. At the opening this morning, it fell to around 211 dollars, before going up slightly, oscillating between -7 % and -9 % during the day. This withdrawal is directly linked to the announcement made earlier by Rockstar Games, namely that GTA VI will not be released until May 26, 2026two months after the end of the current fiscal year (which ends on March 31, 2026).
This news therefore rejects the revenues generated by the game at the exercise 2027which caused an immediate reaction from investors. For a title as massive as GTA VI, often considered an engine of growth alone, this discrepancy is heavy with consequences for short -term forecasts.
Ambitions maintained despite the disappointment of the markets
Despite this setback, the CEO Strauss Zelnick is confident. In a press release, he said that the company still plans to reach “record levels of net reserve” in the year 2026, thanks to “An exceptional outings portfolio”. He also promises a new record year in 2027, in particular thanks to the long -awaited launch of GTA VI.
Other major outings will feed the Take-Two catalog by then. Borderlands 4advanced to September 12, 2025, and Mafia: The Old Countrythe new part of the Mafia franchise, expected during the summer, although no official date has yet been confirmed (finally, Randy Pitchford was right). If the markets temporarily sanction this postponement, analysts remain generally optimistic about the potential of GTA VI in the long term. For shareholders, the wait could well be worth it.
Indeed, there is little doubt about its high commercial potential when it comes out, not to mention the income it will generate in the long term with services like GTA V Online.
