Take-Two Says GTA 6 Pre-Orders Surpassing Expectations Despite Q2 Revenue Decline

Take-Two Interactive reported second-quarter financial results showing an 18% drop in net bookings to $1.60 billion and a 16% decline in net revenue to $1.50 billion, with NBA 2K27 underperforming against internal projections. Chief executive Strauss Zelnick stated that pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto 6 are "far in excess" of company expectations, though some reports attribute this phrasing directly to the CEO while others present it as a company characterization. The game remains on track for its planned 2025 release window.
