GTA 6 has gone gold: Take-Two says development is complete and pre-orders are far above expectations
2026-11-10 · Guides
Take-Two reported earnings on November 9, 2026, and confirmed that GTA 6 is finished. "Right now, Rockstar has completed the development of GTA VI," CEO Strauss Zelnick said on the investor call. The launch date hasn't moved: November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
What was actually said
The call transcript and Output Lag carry the rest of the quote: Rockstar has "done their very best work, and it is going to come to consumers soon." Zelnick also said the game will be "available on two consoles when it launches on November 19."
"Gone gold" is the press's phrase. Take-Two didn't use it, as Output Lag points out. The meaning is the same, though: the final build is ready to ship.
Pre-orders
The earnings release describes "pre-orders continuing to reach unprecedented levels." On the call, Zelnick said they're "tracking far in excess of our initial expectations." CFO Lainie Goldstein called the level "extraordinary," according to GamesBeat.
The company gave no number, and Zelnick added that "we still aren't ready to declare victory."
The figures going around, more than $750 million and 7.71 million copies, come from Insider Gaming. They're outside estimates, not Take-Two data.

PC and a physical disc
Neither came up on the call itself. In a Variety interview the same day, Zelnick said that "information always comes from our labels," meaning any PC, Switch 2 or disc news is Rockstar's to announce. Beebom and VGTimes both report the remark.
A PC release in early 2027 is still a rumor. Beebom attributes it to unnamed reports, and neither company has given a date.
GTA Online and price
Rockstar "will continue to support Grand Theft Auto Online with new content and ongoing events," Zelnick said. What comes next will be announced "in the fullness of time."
Management didn't state a price on the call. The $80 figure for the standard edition appeared only in an analyst's question, as a hypothetical.
The numbers
For the quarter ended September 30, Take-Two posted $1.60 billion in net bookings, down 18% from a year ago. Guidance for the next quarter, the one that includes GTA 6, is $3.35 billion to $3.50 billion. The full-year outlook stays at $8.0 billion to $8.2 billion.
What it means for you
There's no delay coming. Launch is nine days away, the game is done, and the preload is already live. If you were holding out for PC or a disc, there's nothing to plan around yet.
