Take-Two has repeated its fiscal 2027 outlook of net bookings of 8.0 billion to 8.2 billion dollars, with Grand Theft Auto 6 set to launch on November 19. The publisher is keeping its full year forecast after a soft quarter, and the launch is what the next quarter is built on.
Why it matters
The company outlook for the three months ending December 31 calls for 3.35 billion to 3.5 billion dollars in net bookings. That window contains the release, and the company own lineup table lists Grand Theft Auto 6 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S on November 19, 2026.
The demand is already visible. Preorders are at unprecedented levels, according to chief executive Strauss Zelnick, and most of the early demand is landing on the 99.99 dollar Ultimate Edition rather than the 79.99 dollar Standard Edition. Sensor Tower estimates 9.69 million preorders and about 942 million dollars in revenue as of November 10.
What happens next
The launch will roll region by region, starting at midnight on November 19 in New Zealand as each country reaches the date. Preloading is now live on both PlayStation and Xbox, and the game will be playable on day one through Xbox Cloud Gaming, starting at 1 a.m. Eastern Time.
For Take-Two, the outlook is a statement of confidence. The company has said it expects to deliver a historic year, and the numbers now depend on a single launch. Whether the game lives up to the forecast will be decided in the weeks after November 19, when actual sales replace preorder estimates.
