Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) shares fell 8% in early trading on Friday after the company postponed the release of “Grand Theft Auto VI” until May 26, 2026. This prolongs the wait for the most anticipated video game in history.
Originally, the Rockstar Games-developed game was supposed to premiere in the fall of 2025. Expectations for the next game have been ingrained in Wall Street projections for months, and the franchise is the jewel in Take-Two’s portfolio, contributing significantly to both revenue and player engagement.
Analysts predict the game will be an immediate hit, and fans have been anticipating it for more than ten years. “Grand Theft Auto V” was the preceding entry.
