Take-Two Interactive reports its results for July to September 2026 on Monday, November 9, after the US market closes, with a call at 4:30 p.m. ET (22:30 in Madrid). It is the publisher’s last scheduled update before GTA 6 launches on November 19. The quarter doesn’t include GTA 6 sales, but the full-year forecast it reaffirms does. Here are the times, the official guidance and what to watch.
Last checked on November 5, 2026. Official The date, call time and guidance figures come from Take-Two’s own press releases (October 13 and August 7, 2026, also filed with the SEC). Analyst forecasts are labelled Reported, and our calculations are labelled Our math. This is news coverage, not investment advice.

What Take-Two forecast for the quarter
| Measure (quarter ended Sep 30, 2026) | Take-Two guidance | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Net bookings | $1,620M to $1,670M | Official |
| GAAP revenue | $1,420M to $1,470M | Official |
| GAAP net loss | $(157)M to $(140)M | Official |
| GAAP loss per share | $(0.84) to $(0.75) | Official |
| Analyst consensus (Zacks) | About $1.66B revenue (down 15% year on year), $0.90 adjusted EPS | Reported |
The analyst figures use adjusted measures, so they don’t line up with Take-Two’s GAAP loss. The revenue consensus sits close to the top of the company’s net bookings range. Zacks also expects recurrent consumer spending (in-game purchases, mostly GTA Online, NBA 2K and mobile) to fall about 5%. In the April to June quarter, Take-Two reported net bookings of $1.39 billion, down 3%, and recurrent consumer spending made up 84% of them.
The full-year number that includes GTA 6
| Fiscal 2027 (April 2026 to March 2027) | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Net bookings | $8.0B to $8.2B |
| GAAP revenue | $7.9B to $8.1B |
| Operating cash flow | More than $1B |
| Capital expenditure | About $290M |
Official In August, CEO Strauss Zelnick said: “With the excitement around the November 19th launch of Grand Theft Auto VI, we are reiterating our Fiscal 2027 Net Bookings outlook of $8.0 to $8.2 billion.”
Our math Subtract the $1.39 billion from April to June and the $1.62 to $1.67 billion forecast for July to September, and Take-Two needs about $4.94 to $5.19 billion in net bookings from October 2026 to March 2027. That’s more than in the first half of the year, and GTA 6 is the main reason. Sensor Tower estimates GTA 6 digital pre-sales at about $751 million so far (see our pre-order sales breakdown). That covers only part of the gap before launch day, physical copies or GTA Online for VI.
What to watch on November 9
- Our analysis The launch date. Any wording around November 19 matters. Take-Two has confirmed the date repeatedly, and the preload opens the next day.
- The $8.0 to $8.2 billion outlook. Is it held, raised or narrowed? Raising it two weeks before launch would point to strong pre-orders.
- Guidance for October to December. This is the first quarterly forecast that includes GTA 6’s launch.
- Pre-order comments. Take-Two rarely gives unit numbers, so expect qualitative wording rather than a figure.
- PC and GTA Online. Any word on a PC version or the online mode. Neither has an official date.
- AI and costs. Reported At a Wall Street Journal event this week, Zelnick said Grand Theft Auto is “handcrafted” when asked about generative AI (Insider Gaming).
How earlier Rockstar launches compare
| Game | Official launch sales |
|---|---|
| GTA V (2013) | $800M+ on day one, $1B+ in three days |
| Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018) | $725M+ in three days |
| GTA 6 (2026) | Launches Nov 19; first official numbers likely at the February report |
Our analysis Take-Two’s next quarterly report, for October to December, is expected in February 2027 based on its usual calendar. That’s when official GTA 6 sales figures are most likely, unless Rockstar announces a launch milestone sooner, as it did with GTA V.
Frequently asked questions
When is Take-Two’s next earnings report?
Monday, November 9, 2026, after the US stock market closes. The conference call starts at 4:30 p.m. ET (22:30 in Madrid, 21:30 in London), with a live webcast on take2-games.com/ir.
Will the earnings include GTA 6 sales?
No. The report covers the quarter that ended on September 30, 2026, before GTA 6 launched. Pre-orders are not counted as net bookings until the game is delivered, so GTA 6 revenue arrives in the December quarter.
What did Take-Two forecast for this quarter?
Net bookings of $1.62 to $1.67 billion and GAAP revenue of $1.42 to $1.47 billion, with a GAAP net loss of $140 to $157 million.
What is Take-Two’s full-year outlook?
Net bookings of $8.0 to $8.2 billion for the fiscal year ending March 2027, which Strauss Zelnick linked to the November 19 launch of GTA 6.
Could GTA 6 be delayed again on November 9?
Nothing suggests it. Take-Two and Rockstar have confirmed November 19, and the preload opens November 10. The call is the last scheduled update before launch.
Will Take-Two reveal GTA 6 pre-order numbers?
It usually doesn’t give unit pre-order figures. The 7.71 million figure being reported is a Sensor Tower estimate, not company data.
