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.

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.…
