Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) is going to be the biggest game launch of all time. And just the idea of being able to pre-order the game has stock prices soaring.
After reports of GTA 6 pre-orders going live on May 18, thanks to what appears to be an early email from an affiliate partner marketplace, the stock of publisher Take-Two Interactive has risen by nearly 5% on Thursday.
As of writing, Take-Two Interactive’s stock prices have jumped by $10.79 per share to $237.78. That jump added nearly $2 billion in market value to the company in just a matter of hours. While prices are expected to fall slightly throughout the day’s trading, it’s clear that the excitement surrounding the upcoming game is reaching a fever pitch, even in the stock market.
Take-Two Interactive’s next earnings call is scheduled for Thursday, May 21. That’s when the company will announce its full forecast for the upcoming fiscal year, which includes GTA 6.
As far as the pre-orders, neither Take-Two nor Rockstar has confirmed anything. Should anything become official, Insider Gaming will bring it to you.
