Take-Two Interactive Software (TTWO) shares fell over 4% Monday following a report suggesting the release of its “Grand Theft Auto VI” or “GTA 6” video game could be delayed.
Gaming website Kotaku on Friday reported that production delays at the company’s subsidiary, Rockstar Games, which is developing “GTA 6,” could delay the game’s launch until late 2025 or even until 2026. It was previously expected that the new game would be out by early next spring.
In December, Bank of America downgraded Take-Two to “neutral” from “buy,” citing doubts that “GTA 6” would be available on time. That came just days after the release of the game’s trailer, when Rockstar said it would be “coming in 2025.”
Take-Two did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Shares of Take-Two finished 4.2% lower at $146.14 Monday. They’ve lost over 8% of their value so far in 2024.
