The results for Red Dead Redemption 2 are also impressive, with 74 million players already, which is 4 million more than the previous quarter. The entire Red Dead Redemption series has sured the barrier of 100 million copies sold.
Publishing plans and future projects of Take-Two
Take-Two Interactive is actively working on new titles, with 38 projects in various stages of development in its catalog. Among them, there are 21 games known as "Immersive Core" (new titles for PC and consoles) and 9 mobile entries.
The company also plans to refresh earlier games. Players can expect three new versions of older productions before the end of March 2026 calendar year. In the future, for the fiscal years 2027/2028, four more iterations of well-known titles have been announced. Most likely, the plan includes a port of GTA 4 for newer consoles.
Interestingly, the folks at Take-Two Interactive hinted that there will be another unannounced game hitting the market this fiscal year. Not much is known about it at the moment.
Take-Two financial results
The company's revenue increased by 5% to the amount of 5.63 billion dollars, which is within the forecasts. Despite this, T2 reported an operating loss of $4.49 billion, which is an increase compared to the $3.59 billion loss in the same period last year.
The operating costs are higher than expected, mainly due to increased development costs for titles, probably referring to GTA 6. Despite the forecasted further increase in sales in the fiscal year 2026, Take-Two also expects further losses, which the company will only recover after the release of GTA 6 in May 2026.
