Take-Two Interactive has made its latest earnings call public this week, and once again, the industry's biggest secret in GTA 6 appears to be having a substantial impact on the company's outlook.
While the report talks plenty about Fiscal Year 2024, which is currently ongoing through March of next year, the GTA owner also puts a strong emphasis on how important the following financial year will be. Here's what CEO Strauss Zelnick had to say about the team's FY2025 outlook:
"We remain confident that we are positioning our business for a significant inflection point in fiscal 2025, which we believe will include new record levels of operating performance. We would like to thank all of our stakeholders for their continued support, and we look forward to delivering on this exciting next chapter."
Now, we don't know about you, but "new record levels of operating performance" certainly sounds like it'd be helped quite a bit by a big new release. You know, something like a new Grand Theft Auto game launching for the first time in over a decade.
Bearing in mind that Fiscal Year 2025 runs from April 2024 to March 2025, we might not be that far away from the launch of GTA 6 after all. We wouldn't expect it to arrive before late 2024, but still, that's not too far away at this point!
We should point out that a new GTA game wasn't named specifically in this report (the game hasn't even been formally named yet), but we know it's coming - and it could be here relatively soon if you look at how long we've waited since GTA 5 first launched.
