**New York, NY -** Take-Two Interactive, the parent company behind Rockstar Games and 2K, has announced strong financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, exceeding expectations and showcasing the continued success of franchises like Grand Theft Auto and Borderlands.

Net bookings for the quarter reached $1.47 billion, putting the company on track to meet its projected target of $5.55 to $5.65 billion for the full year. Chairman and CEO Strauss Zelnick highlighted the company’s robust intellectual property portfolio and outlined an exciting lineup of upcoming releases, including the highly anticipated **Grand Theft Auto 6**, slated for a fall 2025 release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X. Other titles like **Borderlands 4** and **Mafia: The Old Country** are expected to launch across both consoles and PC in fiscal year 2026.

While PC gamers may have to wait until 2026 for GTA 6, Zelnick assured investors that PC will play an increasingly significant role in the company’s future. He attributed the strong performance of **Grand Theft Auto 5** to its sustained popularity, with over 205 million units sold globally, and the continued success of **Grand Theft Auto Online** and **GTA+**, which saw a 35% growth in membership over the past year. **Red Dead Redemption 2** also continues to perform well, reaching over 67 million units sold since its launch.

However, the report also touched on a less successful venture: the **Borderlands** movie, a major flop that faced harsh criticism from both audiences and critics. While Zelnick declined to disclose specific financial figures for the film, he acknowledged its underwhelming performance, stating that it “was disappointing” and “didn’t really need to break out the contribution of the film.” He did suggest, however, that the film might have contributed to increased sales of the **Borderlands** game franchise.

Despite the movie’s setback, Take-Two remains confident in its ability to capitalize on its successful IPs, emphasizing a selective approach to licensing its properties to ensure high-quality and successful collaborations.

All eyes remain on the much-anticipated release of **Grand Theft Auto 6**, with both Take-Two executives and investors eagerly awaiting its launch. While a PC release for GTA 6 remains uncertain, the company’s focus on strengthening its PC platform suggests that it could be a possibility in the near future.
