Take-Two: GTA 6 development is complete, pre-orders above expectations

At its quarterly results, Rockstar's parent company said work on the game is finished and kept the November 19 launch date.

What changed

CEO Strauss Zelnick said Rockstar has completed development of the game.
Launch stays set for November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Pre-orders are described as well beyond the company's initial expectations.
No pre-order figure was given: Take-Two plans to share numbers after launch.
Asked about a disc release, a PC version or a Switch 2 version, Strauss Zelnick said any such news would come from Rockstar, with no timeline.
The full-year net bookings forecast stays at $8.0 to $8.2 billion.
The term "gone gold" was not used: it comes from press coverage of the call.
