GTA 6 Delay Had This Major Effect On Rockstar’s Parent Company
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed to 2026, and parent company Take-Two’s stock price is tanking today following the announcement. Shares of Take-Two have slid by about 8% so far today to around $219, wiping out billions of market cap for the video game publisher.
Take-Two anticipated investors having questions about the delay and its impact on the company’s financial outlook, so it released a statement reiterating that the company still expects “sequential increases in, and record levels of” net bookings (i.e. revenue) for Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2027.
GTA 6’s new release date of May 26, 2026 falls in Take-Two’s Fiscal Year 2027 (April 1 2026-March 31 2027). Previously, the game was scheduled to release in Fall 2025, which fell in Take-Two’s Fiscal Year 2026 (April 1, 2025-March 31, 2026).
