"Our outstanding first quarter results reflect ongoing demand for our core franchises and the increasingly diversified, successful nature of our business. We are raising our Fiscal Year 2026," said Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick.
"Net Bookings outlook to $6.05 to $6.15 billion as a result of our strong start to the fiscal year. As we approach the release of the most ambitious pipeline in our company’s history, we have exceptional confidence in our multi-year outlook and our ability to deliver meaningful shareholder returns."
Take-Two reported total net bookings grew 17 percent to $1.42 billion for the quarter and GAAP net revenue was $1.50 billion for the quarter, which is up from $1.34 billion in the same quarter a year ago. GAAP net loss was $11.9 million.
"The Grand Theft Auto series once again exceeded our expectations," said Zelnick. "Momentum remains exceptionally strong, and to date, Grand Theft Auto V has sold-in over 215 million units worldwide. During the quarter, engagement for Grand Theft Auto Online benefited from the record-setting launch of Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 and the successful release of the 'Money Fronts' Summer content pack, which culminated in higher than expected recurrent consumer spending growth. We are pleased that new player accounts for GTA Online grew over 50% year-over-year."
Zelnick added, "In closing, we are thrilled with our company’s positive momentum and have enormous anticipation for this quarter’s launches of Mafia: The Old Country, NBA 2K26, and Borderlands 4. We remain deeply committed to excellence, to delivering the highest quality entertainment experiences for all of our audiences, and to driving meaningful returns for our shareholders."
