GTA publisher Take-Two projects net bookings (total completed sales, essentially) of $3.35 to $3.5 billion for its current Q3 2027 financial quarter, "driven by the groundbreaking release of Grand Theft Auto 6" in a little over a week."The launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 is ten days away and, with pre-orders continuing to reach unprecedented levels, we expect to deliver an historic year for our company," said Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick.The publisher has previously said that it doesn't want to reveal the total number of GTA 6 preorders because "the raw numbers could potentially be misleading," given that it's never seen numbers like these before.The $3.35 to $3.5 billion net bookings expectation for the GTA 6 launch period is actually slightly below analyst expectations of $3.51 billion, as compiled by LSEG Data & Analytics (via Reuters).Take-Two's net bookings for its previous financial quarter, Q2 2027, came in below expectations at $1.60 billion, and 18% drop year-over-year. NBA 2K7 was one of the culprits there. "NBA 2K27 had a successful launch and delivered the second highest Net Bookings performance in the history of the series, but it was below our forecast for the period," said the company.Take-Two expects net bookings of $8 to $8.2 billion for its full 2027 fiscal year.
