Take-Two's Robust 2025 Release Slate

Zelnick highlighted 2025 as a pivotal year, citing the Early Access launch of Sid Meier's Civilization VII (with full release February 11th), the summer release of Mafia: The Old Country, the fall release of GTA 6, and Borderlands 4 before year's end. He expressed considerable optimism about the commercial success of these titles and their long-term impact on the company and the industry. Take-Two projects record-breaking net bookings in fiscal years 2026 and 2027.

GTA 5's Continued Dominance and Other Successes

The GTA franchise remains a powerhouse, with over 210 million units sold globally. GTA Online continues to thrive, boosted by the "Agents of Sabotage" holiday update and the consistent growth of GTA+. Other titles also performed exceptionally well in Q3: NBA 2K25 sold over 7 million units, showing significant increases in player engagement metrics. Red Dead Redemption 2, with over 70 million units sold, enjoys a resurgence in popularity, reaching record concurrent players on Steam (99,993 according to SteamDB) thanks to ongoing Red Dead Online updates.
