Take-Two Gains Nearly $2 Billion on Gta 6 Pre-order Leak

Take-Two Interactive rose about 10% at the open after a gta 6 pre-order rumor tied to Best Buy sent investors into the stock. The move added nearly $2 billion to the company’s market value, with shares hitting $240.37 as trading began.

The driver was a report from Aaron, co-founder and operator of GTA Online News / RockstarINTEL, that Best Buy had seemingly leaked GTA VI pre-orders going live on Monday. That pushed the stock up nearly 5% in pre-market trading before the opening gain extended the move.

Aaron’s report landed because Take-Two sits at the center of the Grand Theft Auto VI trade, and the market treated a possible pre-order date like fresh revenue timing rather than routine gaming chatter. The company’s shares were still below their all-time high of $262.29 from October 2025, but the open put them at the highest level since January this year.

Take-Two was up over 17% in the past 5 days, which shows the market was already leaning into the stock before this rumor hit. That kind of run is a reminder that any visible step toward GTA VI sales can move a public company’s valuation fast, especially when the title sits under Rockstar Games, Take-Two’s key label.

May 21 Results

The next hard date for investors is Thursday May 21st, when Take-Two Interactive will release its Q4 2026 and Fiscal Year 2026 financial results dated up to March 31st 2026. Until then, the stock is trading on anticipation around whether Monday really brings GTA 6 pre-order access, and the market is already pricing that possibility in.
