Take-Two Calls GTA 6 Preorders 'Unprecedented' as It Raises Its Forecast

Take-Two reported fiscal first-quarter earnings on August 7, and CEO Strauss Zelnick described Grand Theft Auto 6 preorders as an "exceptional" and "unprecedented" start since they opened June 25. The quarter posted $1.39 billion in net bookings, driven mainly by NBA 2K and GTA, and Take-Two raised its full-year forecast above its prior $8 billion estimate. The company did not share exact preorder numbers. GTA 6 launches November 19.
