Take-Two today revealed more about its pipeline of upcoming games when it released its earnings report. The article of the most immediate importance is the release date of Grand Theft Auto VI, which Rockstar confirmed is still planned for November 19. It also confirmed that its release pipeline for the upcoming fiscal years includes around 30 titles, including mobile releases, sports games and even a few new intellectual property launches.

The earnings report notes that the GTA 6 launch is “arguably, the most anticipated entertainment property of all time,” and that Rockstar Games will begin the marketing campaign in the summer. It anticipates net bookings of $8B-$8.2B, largely driven by the new GTA and supported by “successful execution across our entire portfolio.” It also says that it expects operating expense growth of 8% due to higher R&D costs, new mobile releases and the costs of marketing GTA 6.

As for other upcoming games, Take-Two noted that its currently announced pipeline includes NBA 2K27 (booked for September this year), PGA Tour 2K27, WWE 2K27, Judas from Ghost Story Games, the next Bioshock game, Project ETHOS and mobile games Top Goal and CSR 3. All of the games except for NBA 2K27 are listed with a “TBA” release date, but Take-Two outlines that the current fiscal year’s releases will include GTA 6, the two mobile games, the aforementioned three sports games and “1 platform extension.”

The company says that fiscal years 2028 and 2029 have a pipeline of 22 games, including 1 mobile game, 5 sports games, 3 “Core New IPs” and 13 “Core Existing IPs, which includes 7 sequels and 6 remakes, remasters, and platform extensions.” Presumably Project ETHOS, Judas and the new Bioshock game make up three of those games, but Rockstar has not revealed what the other titles could be.
