Take-Two has publishedits financial resultsfor the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, and the house that Strauss built is doing very well indeed: Though all of those beady shareholder eyes remain on one particular title to come. The results show that Take-Two is on course to hit the top end of its own expectations, with $1.47 billion in net bookings over this quarter and the target remaining $5.55 to $5.65 billion for the year overall. But nevermind that—where’s Grand Theft Auto 6?

There was one later aside that suggests things will generally improve with Take-Two’s titles and simultaneous PC releases, when Zelnick was talking about the different target platforms in the console market. Mentioning PC as the “open platform” Zelnick went on to say “I do think PC will be more and more a part of [our] business going forward.”

Zelnick does a little verbal dance on all of these results calls, as hard-nosed financial wonks drill-down into the performance of individual games and, as always, try to get more information about Golden Goose Theft Auto. Mostly these questions are politely stonewalled, though they do bring out some interesting asides about GTA generally.

Zelnick also mentioned Red Dead Redemption 2’s sales, which have seen it consistently chart since release, and says the game has now sold over 67 million units to date.

Read between the lines though,and they’re not happy. “Even though the film was disappointing, it actually benefited our catalogue sales so that is a sign that making a movie or a TV show can drive sales and that’s a good thing,” says Zelnick.

“We’re really selective, because we would prefer that everything that comes out with our brands in it is really really successful. We can’t guarantee that, especially when it’s out of our hands, so we have licensed other titles, will continue selectively to do so, but emphasis on the word ‘selectively.'”

Ever since Rockstar releasedthe first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6, dating the title for 2025, there has been speculation over whether the game will make that date. It’s not just that there’s a history of delays to GTA titles, but that Rockstar is “seeking perfection” with this title and, as one former lead dev put it, there’s really “no competition” to worry about. Maybe this time next year you’ll be playing GTA 6, on console at least. Mr. Zelnick and all of his shareholders certainly hope so.
