Take-Two Earnings Call: New Information About GTA VI
The launch of GTA VI is rapidly approaching, and we may have just been given the last piece of official news before its release date. Here’s everything said about GTA VI in the latest Take-Two earnings call.
Outperforming Expectations
GTA VI, the latest title from Rockstar Games, is set to come out later this month on November 19th. However, earlier this week on November 9th Rockstar Games’ parent company, Take-Two, held its last earnings call before launch. The call began on Monday at 04:30 PM EST and ran for about an hour.
GTA VI was brought up several times, and despite the fact that no confirmed preorder figures were given, based on what was said it looks like Take-Two and Rockstar are extremely confident in the upcoming title.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said that ‘preorders for Grand Theft Auto VI are tracking far in excess of our initial expectations‘, and that ‘we know that the numbers will speak for themselves soon enough.’ Alongside this, Zelnick stated that the GTA VI extended look on Netflix ‘became the platform’s most-viewed title for the week, drawing in 31 million consumers in just its first four days.’
This optimism was back up by Lainie Goldstein, Take-Two’s CFO, who called the level of preorders received ‘extraordinary.’ Goldstein also explained that Take-Two is expecting high recurrent consumer spending, largely due to the sales of GTA VI.
All together, with less than two weeks until launch it looks like Take-Two and Rockstar are very content with the sales performance of GTA VI. Something which is definitely going to increase as we get closer to November 19th.
