Take-Two opens GTA VI pre-orders June 25, a key stock catalyst ahead of November launch

Take-Two Interactive will start pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI on June 25, with a new trailer expected. Jefferies highlights this as a major catalyst for the stock before the game's November 19 release. Pricing is anticipated around $70-$80 for the base edition, with premium editions revealing how the company will monetize GTA VI Online. The online mode is expected to launch about a month later, and the PC version may arrive in April 2027. Take-Two shares rose over 5% following the news, with Jefferies comparing this cycle to the Red Dead Redemption 2 launch, which saw a similar stock rise during pre-orders.
