Take-Two reports its results on Monday 9 November. The timing matters. GTA VI launches ten days later, on 19 November. So this is the last set of numbers before launch. Investors and fans will listen for the same thing. Is the date still 19 November?
When the results land
Results come after the US market closes on Monday 9 November. The earnings call follows at 4:30 pm Eastern Time. That is 9:30 pm in the UK. The quarter ended on 30 September. Take-Two set the date back on 13 October. Pre-load starts on 10 November, so the call lands right as players start downloading the game.
What to watch
The launch date
This is the big one. Rockstar has moved the date twice before. First it slipped from autumn 2025 to May 2026. Then it moved again to 19 November 2026. A firm yes on the call would calm the last nerves. Any soft language would do the opposite.
The bookings outlook
Take-Two still guides net bookings of $8.0 billion to $8.2 billion for the full year. That is about 20 percent growth on last year. Watch if that range moves. A raise would signal strong pre-order demand. A cut would raise questions.
Pre-order demand
Sensor Tower estimates 7.71 million digital pre-orders so far. That is worth about $751 million. These are estimates, not Take-Two numbers. The call may give the first official hint at demand. Wedbush expects about 31 million copies sold in the launch quarter. That is an analyst guess, not company guidance. Demand already looks strong. Nearly one in three US gamers plan to buy it.
What the quarter itself looks like
The quarter is expected to be soft. Revenue is forecast near $1.61 billion. That is down about 9 percent on last year. Earnings per share are forecast near $0.97. Mobile softness and NBA 2K are the drag. Recurring player spending is the number to watch. It was 84 percent of net bookings in the last quarter. Take-Two guided it down about 5 percent for this quarter.
Why this call matters for players
Players care about the date and the game. The call will not show new footage. But a confident update from Strauss Zelnick would set the tone for launch week. A weak one would feed doubt. Either way, the answers come on Monday night. Zelnick also spoke about AI in GTA VI this week.
