I thought perhaps Grand Theft Auto 6<\/a> might be delayed in today’s Take-Two Interactive financial report (and I was not alone on that), but it did not happen: The game remains on track for release on consoles on November 19, and Take-Two said in today’s announcement that proper marketing for the game will begin this summer.<\/p>\n

Grand Theft Auto 6 was made official in 2022<\/a>, and it’s been slim pickings in the years since: Two promotional trailers, a superficial infodump on the cast and setting, and not much else. By all appearances GTA 6 looks very much like a Grand Theft Auto game (and what else would you expect?) but even knowing what’s coming in the broad strokes, the fans want details<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Well, they’re coming. “Our execution throughout fiscal 2026 has been extraordinary and we are highly confident as we approach fiscal 2027\u2014which promises to be groundbreaking for Take-Two and the entire entertainment industry\u2014led by the November 19th release of Grand Theft Auto 6 with Rockstar\u2019s launch marketing set to begin this summer,” Take-Two said in today’s press blast.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, you don’t kick off advertising campaigns (or even commit to kicking them off) unless you’re pretty sure the associated product is going to be ready to go: That’s a mistake CD Projekt made with Cyberpunk 2077, and once it’s eager to avoid repeating<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick sounds pretty hot about the whole thing, too, as he announced the company is raising its financial outlook for the year: “With ongoing momentum across many of our businesses, and the highly anticipated launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 on November 19th<\/sup>, we continue to project record levels of net bookings in fiscal 2027, which we believe will establish a new financial baseline for our business, set us on a path to enhanced profitability, and provide further balance sheet strength and flexibility.”<\/p>\n

So that sounds pretty cool, if you’re a Take-Two shareholder at least. Alas, all of this remains academic for those of us on the PC gaming front: A PC version of Grand Theft Auto 6 remains unannounced.<\/p>\n
