Take-Two Interactive posted a record $6.72 billion in net bookings for fiscal 2026, exceeding guidance by roughly $750 million, with contributions from Grand Theft Auto Online, NBA 2K, Red Dead Redemption, and mobile titles like Toon Blast. The company now projects $8 billion to $8.2 billion in net bookings for fiscal 2027, a roughly 20 percent increase at the midpoint, primarily attributed to the November 19, 2026 launch of Grand Theft Auto VI.

CEO Strauss Zelnick described the title as arguably the most anticipated entertainment property of all time during the earnings call and noted the firm’s robust long-term development pipeline to sustain the elevated scale. Recurrent consumer spending is expected to represent about 65 percent of the FY27 total.

Grand Theft Auto V has approached 230 million lifetime units sold, with the broader franchise exceeding 470 million copies. Zelnick expressed confidence in the company’s positioning for measured risks, accretive M&A, and technology investments despite broader industry factors such as console price adjustments.

The outlook came in below some analyst estimates around $9 billion, yet shares rose in extended trading following the report.
