Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said on the company’s November 9 earnings call that Rockstar Games had completed development of Grand Theft Auto 6, meaning the game has gone gold.

Zelnick also said GTA 6 pre-sales had exceeded Take-Two’s internal expectations, though the company does not plan to publish official preorder figures until after launch.

He called the demand encouraging but cautioned that preorders do not guarantee sales, and said Take-Two was not yet changing its forecasts with launch only days away.

Take-Two reported second-quarter net bookings of $1.60 billion, down 18% year over year and below analyst expectations, while keeping its fiscal 2027 bookings forecast at $8 billion to $8.2 billion and raising its revenue outlook to $7.98 billion to $8.18 billion.

Recurrent consumer spending, including virtual currency, extra content and in-game purchases, made up 81% of second-quarter net bookings.

Zelnick described GTA 6 as Rockstar Games’ biggest and most detailed game to date, and said its marketing campaign is reaching beyond traditional gaming audiences.

The game returns to Vice City, in the fictional state of Leonida inspired by Florida, and follows Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval; French electronic duo Justice composed the original score, with a separate soundtrack album scheduled for December 11.

GTA 6 is scheduled for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with no PC release announced; boxed editions containing download codes are expected in stores from November 12.

Zelnick left questions about a PC or Nintendo Switch 2 version to Rockstar, which has not announced additional platforms.

Preloading begins on PlayStation 5 at midnight local time on November 10 and on Xbox Series X|S at midnight GMT; Sony recommends at least 212GB of free PS5 storage, and preloading does not provide early gameplay access.

In the U.S., the standard edition costs $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition costs $99.99 before taxes; Sensor Tower estimated that nearly 90% of preorders through late August were for the Ultimate Edition, which includes additional vehicles, weapons, apparel and other content.

Zelnick said Take-Two expects fiscal 2027 to be a historic year, while describing the company’s mobile, sports, new-IP and existing-IP slate as its strongest development pipeline ever.
