Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, conducts its Earnings Call quarterly, and this time around, the call was held this month, on 7th August! While most of the presentation was unrelated to gamers, we have learned a few new things related to GTA 6! So, without wasting much time, let’s see the new developments made!
GTA 6 Pricing
Let’s start with the elephant in the room: the pricing of GTA 6! Well, look, so far we know about the basics of GTA 6, I mean, the platforms the game comes out on and a few other things. However, the pricing has still been a bit of a mystery, and Rockstar officially hasn’t confirmed anything so far. But, well, in the latest Earnings Call, we have got some new facts.
When asked about the rumoured 80$ pricing, Strauss Zelnick, Take-Two’s CEO, replied, “I think our approach may be a little bit different.” It does suggest that the game may not be priced at 80$. Furthermore, he also said that, “We want to put out the best entertainment on Earth, and we want to deliver more value than what we charge for it.”
He explained his statement further and said, “As you know, the approach of the industry is to launch at a premium price, sometimes with special editions, and over time, typically to reduce the price to enhance the overall size of the market. We do the very same thing. I think, probably more than most, we’re highly focused on making sure that the experience is great, not just because the game itself is great, but also because consumers have paid a fair price for it.”
GTA 6 Delay?
For the past few weeks, a lot of rumours have been spreading around claiming that GTA 6 could be further delayed! While the official release date has been stated for May 26, 2026, recently, a leaker claimed that the release could be moved further to September in the same year. But, well, thankfully, it looks like we have some good news to share.
In one of their Earnings Call presentation, a slide features all the games announced by companies under Take-Two Interactive! If you take a close look, you’d notice that GTA 6 by Rockstar Games has still been slated for a May 26, 2026, release. So it is safe to say that all the rumours suggesting a delay to September can now be dismissed!
The major reason behind this is that if the game were to get delayed, Take-Two would not have mentioned the exact release date. Instead, they would have given a release window, which could have meant a delay. Given that Take-Two’s CEO is also confident about the release date, so far it is safe to assume that GTA 6 will not be released without any delays!
Red Dead Redemption 2 Lifetime Sales
Last but not least, while not related to GTA 6, the Earnings Call also mentioned Red Dead Redemption 2. As of now, no announcement has been made about the remaster for the game; however, it was announced that the game has sold over 77 million copies to date. Given the sales numbers, it also makes the game the 5th best-selling game of all time.
While it is good news for Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games, fans are still eager to hear about the rumoured RDR2 Remaster. The rumoured remaster has been in demand for a long time, and if leaks are true, then along with a PS5 and Xbox Series X|S version, chances are the game could also make its way to the Nintendo Switch 2.
