Take-Two’s early Aug. 7 earnings timing sparks GTA 6 announcement speculation

Take-Two will release its next earnings report Friday, August 7 before the US market opens at 9:30 AM ET, rather than after the close. Analysts view the unusual timing as a possible setup to give investors time to digest a major announcement about GTA 6 before the report, and industry commentator Tom Henderson has suggested a trailer could land on August 6. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has said GTA 6 marketing will begin this summer; the game is scheduled to launch November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S and an analyst projects up to 30 million copies sold in the first three months.
