Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders are tracking far above expectations according to Take-Two (TTWO)

Take-Two Interactive has updated its fiscal year guidance based on pre-orders for GTA 6's standard and Ultimate Edition packages.

Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) issued its Q2 FY27 earnings report and, as expected, there were several mentions of Grand Theft Auto 6. According to Take-Two, GTA6 pre-orders are tracking far above the publisher's initial expectations. That reinforces the company's fiscal year guidance, where it currently has an outlook range of $8 to $8.2 billion USD.

"Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto 6 are tracking far above our initial expectations, and we know that the numbers will speak for themselves soon enough," reads the fiscal year guidance on the Take-Two Q2 2027 earnings presentation.

Take-Two anticipates a $3.35 to $3.5 billion net bookings figure. Furthermore, the company is expecting a 12 percent increase of recurrent consumer spending (RCS) based on "significant growth" for the GTA series, led by sales of the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition. Earlier this year, there were reports that nearly 90 percent of GTA 6's pre-orders were for the Ultimate Edition. This $100 package will feature several exclusive perks, like access to exclusive in-game shops.

Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) finished the November 9, 2026 trading day down $7.47/share. However, the stock has since rebounded and is currently up by $8.60/share as of the time of this post.
