What to expect from Take-Two's May earnings call as GTA 6 clues could be coming

With Take-Two Interactive's upcoming May earnings call, everyone is watching what the company will say about Grand Theft Auto 6. Since Rockstar Games has a reputation for secrecy, it is little wonder that fans are eagerly anticipating news. But earnings calls, governed by stringent legal rules, tend to be veiled in subtle yet meaningful details, particularly when it comes to release schedules for games and marketing campaigns.


GTA 6 release window may finally become a bit clearer soon

Take-two's may earnings call is coming up, what should we expect from this?

Take-Two is a publicly listed company, and that means there are obligations under SEC rules. If there are any internal modifications to the release schedule of GTA 6—e.g., delays or revised estimates, those have to be openly communicated to shareholders. So, the May earnings call has the potential to reveal if the Fall 2025 window remains in place.


Though a precise release date won't be forthcoming, we'll likely hear Take-Two cite its fiscal year 2026 expectations, which start in April 2025. If GTA 6 is a significant contributor to those expectations, it's a good bet that the game remains on schedule within that time frame. So, unlike the rumors of "GTA 6 is delayed" floating around the internet, any official change would be apparent via this call.


Trailer predictions and evolving marketing strategy


Of particular interest is the changing marketing strategy of Rockstar. The company has transitioned away from extended promotional cycles, such as the two-year lead time we witnessed for GTA 5 and trended towards quicker, more streamlined approaches. This fits into contemporary trends, as live-service models and online engagement influence more rapid turnarounds on content.


If GTA 6 remains on this schedule, we may see trailer 2 drop soon, maybe even teased out during or immediately following the earnings call. Historically, Rockstar puts out 4–5 trailers before launching a flagship title, so if trailer 2 is imminent, the rest would likely come in quick succession. This would keep things going strong into the late 2025 period.


Although no one should anticipate a blockbuster announcement on the earnings call, Take-Two's legal requirement to shareholders still has us potentially gaining key information on GTA 6. If the company continues its FY2026 guidance, the Fall 2025 launch is probably on schedule. Add in Rockstar's quicker marketing cycle, and May might see a milestone passed that will set GTA 6 toward its launch.
