Take-Two Interactive Software announced its financial results for the fiscal year 2025, which ended in March 2025, also sharing the usual update on the crazy sales of GTA5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
According to the documents provided by the publisher, net bookings for the fiscal year were $5.65 billion, up 6% year-on-year ($1.58 billion for Q4, up 17% year-on-year). If you’re wondering, while it’s a simplification, you can consider Net Bookings as revenue.
Net bookings from recurrent consumer spending (IE: DLC and similar) for the full fiscal year accounted for 80% of the total and grew 7% year-on-year.
Once again, Take-Two actually lost money, with net loss for the fiscal year of $4.48 billion, which is worse than the $3.74 billion of net loss recorded in the previous fiscal year.
The largest contributors to Net Bookings were NBA 2K25 and NBA 2K24, Grand Theft Auto Online and Grand Theft Auto V, Toon Blast, the hyper-casual mobile portfolio, Match Factory!, Empires & Puzzles, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online, Words With Friends, and Toy Blast.
As is tradition, the press release includes a comment from Chairman and CEO Strauss Zelnick, who called the results “outstanding.”
“We achieved outstanding results in our 2025 Fiscal Year, with each of our labels contributing meaningfully to our performance. Our Fiscal 2026 outlook reflects continuing positive momentum, with Net Bookings guidance of $5.9 to $6.0 billion. As we bring our exciting lineup to market, including Grand Theft Auto VI in Fiscal 2027, we expect to achieve record levels of Net Bookings that will establish a new baseline for our business and set us on a path of enhanced profitability.”
Moving on to specific sales, GTA5 has now shipped a crazy 215 million units, bringing the franchise’s sales to “nearly 450” million units. Red Dead Redemption 2 has shipped 74 million units, with the series having sold over 100 million units.
Incidentally, we learn that the latest trailer for GTA6 was the biggest video launch of all time, with over 475 million views in 24 hours.
Lastly, we can take a look at a breakdown of the games in development at Take-Two.
Interestingly, this is the first time that we see the list up to fiscal year 2028 (before we always saw it up to fiscal year 2027), which means all the way to March 2028. Most notably, the new iterations of previously released titles have grown from 5 to 8.
This is described (as it has been for a while) as “the strongest development pipeline in the company’s history.”
If you’d like to compare these results with historical data, you can read our report about the previous quarter of the fiscal year, based on data released in February.
Other gaming companies have also already announced their financial results this quarter, including Koei Tecmo, Microsoft, Electronic Arts, Nintendo, Bandai Namco, Konami, Marvelous Entertainment, Sega, Capcom, Sony, Square Enix, and Ubisoft. You can expect more reports on this topic over the coming few days.
