The video game publisher Take-Two Interactive has officially confirmed the release date of Grand Theft Auto VI, set for November 19. The announcement came during a teleconference where CEO Strauss Zelnick confirmed that development of the game has been completed. The company reported that pre-orders for the title have exceeded initial expectations, with a significant number of customers placing orders ahead of the launch.
Take-Two’s financial performance for the quarter was mixed, but the success of GTA 6 has been a key factor in the company’s overall results. Zelnick noted that the number of pre-orders for GTA 6 far surpassed internal projections. The game is expected to be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
GTA 6 has been in development for several years, and its release marks the continuation of the long-running franchise. Zelnick also mentioned that the company is working on new entries for some of its older series that have been on hold for years. While GTA 7 remains a long-term project, Zelnick’s comments suggest that the next major title in the series may arrive sooner than previously anticipated.
Take-Two has a history of strong sales for its GTA titles, and the success of GTA 6 is expected to continue that trend. The company has also raised its annual revenue forecast, citing the game’s pre-orders and in-game spending as contributing factors. The launch of GTA 6 is anticipated to be a major event in the gaming industry, with a large audience eagerly awaiting the new installment.
