Benchmark notes that Rockstar Games has officially set the release date for Grand Theft Auto VI as May 26, 2026, moving the launch into Take-Two’s (TTWO) fiscal 2027. While some investors may view this as a delay from the previously suggested “fall 2025” window, the announcement aligns closely with the firm’s expectations and “should not come as a surprise,” the analyst contends. While the firm had modeled a March 2026 launch, the two-month shift is “minor in the context of Rockstar’s blockbuster cadence” and with clarity now in place and expectations reset, the firm would be buyers on any weakness, adds the analyst, who has a Buy rating and $225 price target on Take-Two shares.
