During its Q3 2026 earnings call today, Take-Two Interactive reaffirmed that the most anticipated video game in history, Grand Theft Auto VI, remains firmly on track for its scheduled release.

A "Groundbreaking" Fiscal Year

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick provided a surge of confidence for investors and fans alike, explicitly citing the November 19, 2026 launch date. Zelnick highlighted the title as the primary catalyst for what the company expects to be a "groundbreaking" Fiscal Year 2027.

"With ongoing momentum across many of our businesses and the highly anticipated launch of Grand Theft Auto VI on November 19th, we continue to project record levels of Net Bookings," Zelnick stated during the presentation.

Summer Marketing Blitz Confirmed

In a rare move for the typically tight-lipped publisher, Zelnick also revealed that Rockstar Games will begin its formal marketing campaign this summer. While previous trailers have already shattered viewership records, this upcoming "marketing beat" is expected to provide the first deep look at gameplay and the sprawling state of Leonida.

Stability After Delays

The firm stance on the November 19th date follows a series of previous shifts that saw the game move from its original late-2025 window to May 2026, and finally to the current late-2026 slot. Industry analysts suggest this latest reaffirmation indicates the game has reached a "content-ready" state, with the remaining months dedicated to the rigorous polish Rockstar is known for.

Key Financial Highlights from the Report:

  • Grand Theft Auto V: Has now surpassed 225 million units sold.
  • Red Dead Redemption 2: Reached 82 million units, solidifying its place as the 3rd best-selling game of all time.
  • Fiscal 2027 Outlook: Take-Two expects "record levels" of revenue, driven almost entirely by the GTA VI ecosystem.

Grand Theft Auto VI is currently slated to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A PC version has not yet been dated but is widely expected to follow in 2027 or 2028.
