"We said when we set the last date, if a game requires more polish to be the best possible version of itself, then we will give that game more time. And that's exactly what happened. We feel really good about this release date. It's in the same fiscal year, it happens to be a great release window, and naturally we're really supportive of Rockstar's approach."
"Look, there's always a risk of slippage and I think as soon as you say words like 'absolutely,' you jinx things,"
"[...] We try not to pump expectations, right? I think Rockstar's whole stock and trade is to have these extraordinary expectations and still to beat them. I know that's their goal. I know it's going to be an amazing game. The rest we'll see in the fullness of time."
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick says the company believes in set release dates while allowing extra time when a game needs more polish. GTA 6 moved from fall 2025 to May 2026 and has now been delayed to November 2026. Zelnick emphasized confidence in the current window, noting it falls within the same fiscal year and aligns with marketing timelines. He admitted there is always a risk of slippage and avoided absolute guarantees, saying Rockstar sets high expectations and aims to exceed them. Zelnick stressed support for Rockstar’s approach and careful timing for marketing and delivery.
