Rockstar's incoming GTA 6 is expected to be one of the biggest entertainment launches in history when it releases onto the market this November, and the game is forecasted to do some pretty big numbers on the financial side. Take-Two Interactive just posted its last earnings results, including some eye-opening expectations for this fiscal year, FY27.

According to the slides, Take-Two expects to earn between $7.9 and $8.1 billion in net revenue during FY27, with Grand Theft Auto 6 strongly contributing to the results. Net bookings will be higher at $8 - $8.2 billion, the company predicts, with recurrent consumer spending making up 65% of net bookings for the year, or $5.2 to $5.3 billion.

"We project Net Bookings to range from $8 to $8.2 billion, which represents 20% growth over Fiscal 2026 at the midpoint, primarily driven by the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI on November 19th along with successful execution across our entire portfolio."

This isn't the first time that Take-Two has published a forecast like this, especially one set around GTA 6's launch. Years ago, Take-Two set a ~$8 billion net bookings target for FY25 and FY26:

Fast-forwarding to the present day, Take-Two also expects to generate over $1 billion in net cash from operating activities in FY27, up nearly $400 million last year, driven by new games like Grand Theft Auto 6.
