GTA 6 Update Officially Locked In For Today, Here's When

Grand Theft Auto VI is proving to be incredibly unpredictable, but that all changes today.

As you’re likely aware, GTA VI is finally set to be released on 19 November with Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick having reaffirmed that date.

With roughly six months to go until launch day, marketing is expected to begin any day now, although you could argue that it’s already underway.

Zelnick has been doing the media rounds, hyping GTA VI up, while Rockstar Games has resumed socialising with fans on social media after a hiatus of several years.

PlayStation has also joined in, emailing PlayStation 4 users with a recommendation to upgrade to a PlayStation 5 if they want to enjoy GTA VI at launch; it’s widely believed that PlayStation has secured a marketing deal with Rockstar Games.

What we’re all waiting for, though, is GTA VI’s third trailer and pre-order information, with a couple of false alarms having taken place in recent days.

US retailer Best Buy let slip that GTA VI’s pre-orders were to open on 18 May but that day has come and gone with the incorrect information reportedly coming as a result of an employee error.

You’re likely tired of rumours doing the rounds, especially as all, so far, have failed to be fruitful.

That changes today though as GTA VI is guaranteed an update from Rockstar Games’ parent company Take-Two, with perhaps even news from Rockstar Games itself.

Here’s Exactly What Time Take-Two’s Earnings Call Is Taking Place

That’s because Take-Two Interactive is set to hold its next quarterly earnings call today.

All major GTA VI announcements to date have coincided with an earnings call, either landing a few days before or on the day of the event itself.

Clearly, nothing has - in this case - landed in the days preceding the earnings call, so we should definitely expect an update tonight.

Ever since GTA VI was announced, a Take-Two earnings call hasn’t taken place without the game being mentioned.

The Event Will Likely Result In One of Two Outcomes

That being said, there are two ways the event could play out.

The most underwhelming option would follow the pattern of former earnings calls when we’re told, “GTA VI is still on track for its launch on 19 November,” or something to that effect.

Of course, Take-Two could also say the opposite and delay the game but Zelnick has already put fears to rest on that topic.

The second, and more likely, outcome of the day is that Rockstar Games drops an update on social media in the hours preceding the earnings call.

Rockstar Games could drop the game’s third trailer or that coveted pre-order information, and then has a couple of hours to take effect and boost stocks before Take-Two addresses investors.

By the time the day is done, we’ll definitely have some new intel to ponder; we’re just hoping it’s juicier than what we’ve been treated to in recent months.

As for what time you can expect the earnings call, it’s taking place at 9.30pm BST / 3.30pm EST / 1.30pm ET.

Rockstar Games could make a reveal in the hours preceding that.
