Take-Two Interactive Software announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, related to the period between April and June 2026, also offering the usual update on the crazy sales of GTA5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, ahead of the release of GTA6.
According to the press release, Net Bookings (which you can approximately identify with sales) were $1.39 billion, down 3% year-on-year, but still slightly above expectations.
The company also confirmed its prediction for the full fiscal year, which will end on March 31, 2027.
Total net bookings are expected to be between $8 billion and $8.2 billion. That’s between $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion more than the past fiscal year.
Net income is expected to be $104 million to $143 million.
We also get the usual statement from Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two, who talked about the release of GTA6 and more.
“Our excellent first quarter results reflect the power of our portfolio and disciplined execution across all of our labels. With these positive trends and excitement around the November 19th launch of Grand Theft Auto VI, we are reiterating our Fiscal 2027 Net Bookings outlook of $8.0 to $8.2 billion. Looking further
ahead, we expect to sustain this new level of scale and generate strong cash flows, setting us on a path to deliver continued growth and long-term shareholder returns.”
