ChatGPT-5 predicts Take-Two’s course on GTA 6 release – what if the game is postponed again?

The stock price of Take-Two (TTWO) took a hit after the news that Grand Theft Auto VI has been postponed again. Still, analysts remain positive in the long term. ChatGPT-5 even predicts a price of almost $250 upon final release. But what if Rockstar slows down again?

GTA VI release postponed to November 2026

Rockstar Games announced that the long-awaited release of Grand Theft Auto VI has been postponed to November 19, 2026. The company stated that the additional months are needed to give the game “the well-known Rockstar polish”.

The market reacted strongly to the news. Immediately after the announcement, Take-Two’s share price fell by 18 percent. In the pre-market, the share was still down more than five percent at the time of publication.

Strong quarterly figures overshadowed by slowdown

The timing of the postponement was unfortunate. At the same time as the GTA news, Take-Two reported strong quarterly results. Adjusted earnings per share came to $1.46, well above expectations of $0.94. Turnover was also higher at $1.96 billion than the estimated $1.74 billion.

Total net bookings increased by 33 percent year-on-year. In particular, the success of NBA 2K26, Mafia: The Old Country and various mobile titles resulted in 20 percent growth in recurring expenditure – now accounting for 73 percent of total revenue.

Still, the GTA VI delay remains the dominant factor for investor sentiment.

Analyst price targets: up to $300

Despite the postponement, analysts remain positive. Jefferies, Benchmark and DA Davidson all have a ‘Strong Buy’ rating with a price target of $300. Wells Fargo remains at ‘Buy’, but lowers the target to $277. CICC begins coverage with a price target of $272.

According to these parties, Take-Two continues to benefit from its strong franchises and long life cycles – even with delayed releases.

ChatGPT-5 predicts course at GTA VI launch

The big question: what happens on the day of the actual release?

ChatGPT-5 analyzed historical price trends around previous Rockstar launches and took into account factors such as global install base and rising digital margins. The prediction: a price of approximately $ 247.50 on November 19, 2026, provided that GTA VI is released on that date and is well received.

This estimate is based on a revaluation of expected earnings – not hype. Will the release be postponed again? The model then expects a fall back to the price level around $160, before the share recovers based on a new timeline.
