VGTimes, citing Take-Two's second-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings release, reports that the publisher expects net bookings of $3.35 billion to $3.5 billion in the current quarter, the one that includes GTA 6's November 19 launch. The full-year forecast is unchanged at $8 billion to $8.2 billion. Take-Two repeated that pre-orders are tracking well above its initial expectations, without giving a number.
The quarter just ended was weak: net bookings fell 18% to about $1.6 billion, below both company guidance and analyst expectations, with a reported net loss of $54 million. NBA 2K27 sold around 4 million copies, short of its target. The same report says GTA 5 is nearing 235 million copies sold and the series is close to 480 million overall. Separately, Sensor Tower's third-party estimate has the $99.99 Ultimate Edition at roughly 89% of digital pre-orders; that figure is an analyst estimate, not company data.
Why it matters: these are the first official revenue expectations that cover the launch window, and they show how much of Take-Two's year depends on GTA 6 landing on time. The bookings forecast is company guidance; the pre-order split and totals remain unconfirmed estimates.
