Take-Two reports unprecedented GTA 6 pre-orders and announces Netflix presentation
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has announced that pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI have reached unprecedented levels. The game is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The standard edition will be priced at $79.99, while the Ultimate Edition will cost $99.99 in the United States.
Rockstar Games will host a special presentation titled ‘Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look’ on Netflix on August 27, 2026. This exclusive broadcast will be available on Netflix for six hours before being released for free on YouTube and the official Rockstar website. Current promotional efforts are focused on the single-player experience, and reports suggest there are no immediate plans to discuss GTA Online details.
Zelnick also shared a vision for the future of gaming, predicting that low-latency commercial streaming could become widespread within three years. He noted that while streaming could potentially increase the effective install base tenfold, it is not expected to increase revenue by the same margin. Additionally, the company is moving toward a digital-first model, with the physical version of GTA 6 containing only a download code.
