Grand Theft Auto 6, an all time favourite by Rockstar Games Studio, was announced in December 2023. Even though it was not officially released, people got excited just from a trailer; now, the company has added a GTA 6 page to Microsoft’s store. But even with its release, Take-Two stock dipped by 0.46%, which was not expected.
GTA 6’s release was delayed from Fall 2025 to May 2026, causing Take-Two’s stock to drop. The decline wasn’t due to weak sales or game quality, but because investors now have to wait an extra year for the expected massive profits. Take-Two also reported mixed quarterly results with a net loss, contributing to the stock decline.
The file listed on Xbox is not just covert art, with a file size of 328.76 MB. As the final price and file size have not been decided yet, some analysts reported that pricing should be more than industry standards due to the amount of work that went into creating this game.
The company is already blooming in the gaming world, and a few minor hiccups won’t bring it down anytime soon; that is just part of the business. In fact, analysts are still calling Take-Two a Strong Buy, noting a 7.27% increase in overall stock value. They believe that the excitement will intensify with the official release of GTA6.
On the other hand, we have seen projects like Hytale spend seven years in development only to be cancelled before launch. While there is no indication that Rockstar Games studio is leaning towards cancelling, there has been a history of delays in the case of GTA 6. So it’s a possibility we might not see the game in 2026. But let’s keep our fingers crossed because everyone has waited long enough and the release of GTA 6 will be the most hyped event for gamers all around the world.
