Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive has just held its long-awaited Q4 and FY26 earnings call. This is usually reserved for investors looking to see how their stocks are performing, but considering the relative silence on Grand Theft Auto 6, all eyes are on this one.
In a preemptive move, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick confirmed to shareholders that Grand Theft Auto 6 will be released on November 19 and marketing will begin this summer.
Grand Theft Auto 6 release date reconfirmed
With news about Grand Theft Auto 6 so quiet, there have been concerns that the game could be delayed once again. It was originally scheduled to be released this month, but was postponed to November 19th.
One of the first things CEO Zelnick confirmed on the call was that Take-Two expects to have a record fiscal year with “Grand Theft Auto 6 coming out on May 19th.” Despite investor questions about whether the game needs marketing, marketing will begin properly this summer, as expected. Notably, the game lags far behind its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto 5, in terms of marketing. The company said during the call that it would spend heavily on marketing.
The company said costs would increase by $300 million, with Take-Two suggesting half of that would be spent on marketing.
Zelnick said people are excited about GTA 6, but it's important to get it out. He said gamers need to know when the game is over and if the game is actually over.
TheGamer is still listening to investor calls and will update you as new information becomes available.
