Take-Two Interactive's stock price dropped by 8% following Rockstar Games' announcement that 'Grand Theft Auto 6' will be released in May 2026. This delay comes after years of anticipation for the game, which has already set a YouTube record for views on a trailer. Amid this disappointment, Take-Two remains optimistic, forecasting record net bookings for 2026 and 2027. Rockstar acknowledged the overwhelming excitement for GTA 6 and emphasized their commitment to delivering a high-quality product while providing an additional timeframe for development.
On Friday, "GTA" maker Rockstar Games announced that the company now plans to release the game in May 2026. Shares of Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two Interactive, tumbled by as much as 8% on Friday morning.
The unusually long time between releases has even inspired a popular meme: "We got (insert long-awaited thing) before GTA 6." The Empire State Building even got in on the meme after Friday's announcement.
We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve."
