Hot right now
Take Two just confirmed the next earnings call for May 21. That's the last investor checkpoint before summer marketing and the final chance to reaffirm November 19 without causing a shareholder panic. Last year's earnings call on May 15, 2025 came with Trailer 2 and 70 screenshots. Rockstar doesn't send Zelnick into a call empty handed. Four weeks out, the odds on what lands first are wide open: a trailer, pre orders, both, or something nobody's ready for.
Leading pick: Trailer 3 Drops. Rockstar releases GTA 6 Trailer 3 between May 1 and May 22, 2026. Must be an official new trailer, not a re cut or teaser. (31%, 3.08x)
Hot right now
A leaker with a track record on Call of Duty info claims Rockstar plans to launch GTA 6's online mode within a month of the main game. History backs the timing. GTA Online dropped two weeks after GTA V. Red Dead Online came roughly a month after RDR2. With court documents already confirming a 32 player multiplayer mode in playtest, the only real question is whether Rockstar gets the servers ready in time for Christmas or makes everyone wait until the new year.
Leading pick: Within Two Weeks. GTA 6's online mode launches on or before December 3, 2026, matching the original GTA Online rollout pace from 2013. (71%, 1.34x)
Hot right now
GTA V sold 11.2 million copies on day one and 29 million in its first month back in 2013. The combined PS5 and Xbox Series X/S install base now sits at roughly 120 million. Analysts project GTA 6 will land somewhere between 40 and 60 million in its first month. Take Two needs the high end of that range to hit the $7.6 billion in 60 days projection. Hardware price hikes in Asia, no PC version at launch, and emerging market affordability all pull on the downside.
Leading pick: Breaks Reality (Over 60 million). GTA 6 sells more than 60 million copies in its first month, exceeding even the most aggressive forecasts and rewriting expectations of what an entertainment launch can do. (86%, 1.10x)
