Take-Two banks on new games to boost bookings in next two fiscal years

Take-Two Interactive Software said on Thursday it expects net bookings to grow in fiscal years 2026 and 2027, as the videogame publisher gears up for the launch of its long-awaited “Grand Theft Auto VI” next year.

Shares of the New York-based company rose more than 5% in extended trading.

“Grand Theft Auto” is one of Take-Two’s most popular properties, with the franchise having accumulated billions of dollars in revenue since its inception in the late-nineties.
