GTA 6 fans might want to mark May 21st on their calendars

Grand Theft Auto 6 fans who have been patiently waiting for more news may want to mark May 21, 2026 in their calendars, as Rockstar Games' parent company Take-Two Interactive sets the date for its next quarterly earnings call. As April draws to a close, the one-year anniversary is fast approaching Grand Theft Auto 6s second trailer, which was also accompanied by a new website and tons of new screenshots. Unfortunately, it was also the last time the community received any significant news about the long-awaited title, aside from delays.

The wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 it hasn't been quite as hard as The Elder Scrolls 6but with only two trailers in three years, fans are desperate to see more from one of the game's most anticipated releases of all time. Back in May 2025, Rockstar disappointed fans by confirming rumors about it Grand Theft Auto 6 was delayed to May 26, 2026. Given the studio's history of delays, the news was somewhat unsurprising. But just days later, Rockstar softened the blow with the release of the game's second trailer, dozens of gorgeous screenshots, and an updated website with location and character details. The title would then continue to be delayed again in November 2025, but no trailer accompanied the news this time.

Take-Two sets date for next quarterly earnings call

In true Rockstar fashion, there hasn't been any good news from the studio for almost a full year. Thankfully, it looks like it may be coming to an end. Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has now confirmed that its next quarterly earnings call will take place on Thursday, May 21, 2026. For those who may not be aware, quarterly earnings calls are scheduled conferences that allow studio executives to reveal financial reports from the most recent quarter. It often results in updated sales figures for Grand Theft Auto 5, Red Dead Redemption 2and other titles from Take-Two studios.

Those talks also see shareholders questioning Take-Two about upcoming releases and other business topics, and have resulted in the company's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, commenting on Grand Theft Auto 6 several times before. There's a good chance Zelnick will reveal something of minor importance regarding the title during the conversation. For example, the latest earnings call saw confirmation that marketing for Grand Theft Auto 6 officially starts this summer.

But in the weeks leading up to the call, the big news can come. Last year's second trailer and a disappointing delay were made just two weeks before Take-Two's earnings call, and while we hope another delay isn't on the cards, many believe a third trailer could be released before May 21, as it often boosts Take-Two stock in time for its conference call with investors.

However, Zelnick has already said that marketing will begin in the summer, which technically doesn't start until June. That could mean no news will be shared in the run-up to the call, or the studio might jump in a bit earlier with a third trailer, followed by a few weeks of silence before ramping things up later in the year. For now, it all remains speculation, but given the history of these earnings calls, there's a good chance Zelnick will, at a minimum, give fans an update on Grand Theft Auto 6release date in November.
