And that\u2019s exactly what happened. We feel really good about this release date. It\u2019s in the same fiscal year, it happens to be a great release window, and naturally we\u2019re really supportive of Rockstar\u2019s approach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Take Two can afford to take such a long view on things because, well, GTA 5 just doesn&#8217;t stop selling, and people won&#8217;t stop spending money in GTA Online.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We continue to supply content to GTA Online, and in fact we\u2019ve had terrific results there,&#8221; says Zelnick. &#8220;And GTA+ continues to grow its membership. In fact, it\u2019s had 20% growth year-over-year. And GTA 5 has sold in more than 220 million units.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:3840px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"jWMb7JEfRNktAECA4h5Xbj\" name=\"GettyImages-1440125227.jpg\" alt=\"NEW YORK, NEW YORK - NOVEMBER 08: CEO of Take-Two Interactive Software Strauss Zelnick attends Paley International Council Summit at Paley Museum on November 08, 2022 in New York City.

Take Two last spoke about sales in May 2024 when it said <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/grand-theft-auto\/as-gta-6-draws-closer-gta-5-is-still-making-bank\/\">GTA 5 had sold &#8220;approximately&#8221; 200 million units<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>GTA 6&#8217;s new release date is now November 19, 2026, which is still over a year away, and some will wonder whether this is the final delay we&#8217;ll see to GTA 6. &#8220;It\u2019s not that far in advance if you look at when you need to deliver a game to get it out,&#8221; says Zelnick. &#8220;Also, we have to start marketing activities in a significant amount of time ahead of release. What we want to do is give consumers as much certainty as possible. And again, we feel quite good about this date.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s certainly more positive PR than Rockstar&#8217;s recently managed, after <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/grand-theft-auto\/all-you-had-to-do-was-follow-the-damn-law-rockstar-workers-are-protesting-outside-take-two-after-gta-6-devs-alleged-ruthless-union-busting\/\">the company fired over 30 workers<\/a> who belonged to a Discord server related to labour organising.
