Take-Two's Strauss Zelnick Calms Shareholders Amid GTA 6 Delay

Take-Two's CEO Strauss Zelnick has addressed shareholder concerns following the notable delay of Grand Theft Auto VI, moving its release from Fall 2025 to May 26, 2026. This shift from the 2026 to the 2027 financial year caused a 7.98% drop in Take-Two's stock value. Zelnick reassured investors by emphasizing the company's commitment to quality as Rockstar Games takes additional time to enhance GTA 6 into a groundbreaking experience that meets high audience expectations. With GTA 6's delay, Take-Two's financial outlook seems uncertain, although they have other titles in the pipeline, including Borderlands 4 and NBA 2K26.

It depends on Rockstar's future announcements, but historically, PC releases have come after the console versions.

Grand Theft Auto VI is poised to be one of the most significant game launches ever, following the enormous success of its predecessor, GTA V. Fans have eagerly awaited the return to the beloved franchise, known for its expansive open-world gameplay and engaging narratives. The game's potential has stirred excitement worldwide, with players hoping for innovative mechanics and storytelling elements that elevate the series even further.
