are in, and they come with a few surprises. First off, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has confirmed that the publisher&#8217;s sales are mostly digital, in response to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/sony-ending-playstation-discs-physical-media-january-2028\">Sony&#8217;s controversial decision to stop manufacturing physical disc-based games<\/a>. &#8220;Our business is well over 90% digitally distributed,&#8221; he said during the call (thanks, <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/jasonschreier.bsky.social\/post\/3msilkyu2ic2q\">Jason Schreier<\/a>). &#8220;It&#8217;s already a digital business.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This comes as no surprise, really. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/capcom-playstation-discless-90-percent-digital\">it&#8217;s almost word-for-word what we heard from Capcom earlier this week<\/a>; namely, that digital sales outweigh physical by orders of magnitude, and that PlayStation&#8217;s move to an &#8216;all-digital&#8217; future will not have a great impact on the business it runs. Sega has chimed in, also, noting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/playstation-physical-media-sega-ceo\">&#8220;a digital shift is crucial&#8221; <\/a>for the longevity and health of the games industry. It&#8217;s worth noting that even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/gta-6-online-retail-country-code-in-box-limitation\">the &#8216;physical&#8217; version of GTA 6 will just be &#8216;a code in a box&#8217;<\/a>, marking how significant digital is to Take-Two in the current market.<\/p>\n<p>Industry analyst Daniel Ahmad paints a clear picture of just how important digital sales are to Take-Two, versus physical: &#8220;Physical games made up around 2 percent of their revenue this quarter, and was 3 percent for the last full fiscal year,&#8221; he explains in <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ZhugeEX\/status\/2085719107526160719\">a tweet.<\/a> &#8220;This is all net revenue, which includes DLC \/ microtransactions, [of course]. But it goes to show just how digital oriented the company, and industry at large, is now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"video_wrapper youtube\">\n<a aria-label=\"GTA 6 (Grand Theft Auto 6) - Official Extended Look Teaser Trailer\" class=\"video-facade full-size\" data-platform=\"youtube\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Otak6Rd63i4?autoplay=1\" title=\"Click to play video from YouTube\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Cover image for YouTube video\" class=\"video-facade__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Otak6Rd63i4\/hqdefault.jpg\"><span class=\"video-facade__title\">GTA 6 (Grand Theft Auto 6) &#8211; Official Extended Look Teaser Trailer<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption>An official teaser for a teaser.<a class=\"video\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Otak6Rd63i4\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Watch on YouTube<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Elsewhere in Take-Two&#8217;s earnings call (via <a href=\"https:\/\/gamesbeat.com\/take-two-reports-1-39b-in-bookings-down-3-for-june-quarter\/\">Gamesbeat<\/a>) we can see that the company has revised its Fiscal 2027 net bookings by 200 million, from $8 billion to $8.2 billion. Why? Because of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/gta-6-everything-we-know-so-far-9357\">Grand Theft Auto 6<\/a>, of course. &#8220;Our excellent first quarter results reflect the power of our portfolio and disciplined execution across all of our labels,&#8221; said Zelnick during the call. &#8220;With these positive trends and excitement around the November 19th launch of Grand Theft Auto 6, we are reiterating our Fiscal 2027 Net Bookings outlook of $8 to $8.2 billion.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"injection_placeholder\" data-position=\"1\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Looking further ahead, we expect to sustain this new level of scale and generate strong cash flows, setting us on a path to deliver continued growth and long-term shareholder returns.&#8221; Given <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/gta-6-pre-order-numbers-record\">the strength of GTA 6&#8217;s pre-orders<\/a>, even at this stage, you can see why Take-Two is feeling buoyed by the promise of the game. &#8220;Global excitement for the launch of Grand Theft Auto Six continues to build, with the title having an exceptional start to pre-orders,&#8221; Zelnick said in a call with analysts. But there&#8217;s a level of caution to this excitement, too :&#8221;[Pre-orders] are so unprecedented that we just don\u2019t know how it&#8217;ll translate into sales [&#8230;], and we just don\u2019t believe in claiming victory before it occurs,&#8221; he stated <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/gaming\/news\/gta-6-preorder-sales-take-two-earnings-1236829396\/\">in a call with analysts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"image_wrapper\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"GTA 6 - Lucia cosmetics in the Ultimate Edition\" height=\"2160\" src=\"https:\/\/assetsio.gnwcdn.com\/ULTIMATE_EDITION_STOCK_305_04.jpg?width=2048&amp;height=2048&amp;fit=bounds&amp;quality=85&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.7777777777777777\" width=\"3840\"><\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"GTA 6 - Lucia cosmetics in the Ultimate Edition\" data-autosize=\"bounds_lossy\" data-uri=\"ULTIMATE_EDITION_STOCK_305_04.jpg\" height=\"2160\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.7777777777777777\" width=\"3840\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"loading spinner large\"><\/span><\/p>\n<nav class=\"pagination--hoverable\">\n<div class=\"previous\">\n<button class=\"button pagination-button\"><br \/>\n<span aria-label=\"Previous\" class=\"icon\" role=\"img\" style=\"--icon-mask-image: url(&quot;\/static\/solid\/angle-left.svg&quot;)\"><\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"next\">\n<button class=\"button pagination-button\"><br \/>\n<span aria-label=\"Next\" class=\"icon\" role=\"img\" style=\"--icon-mask-image: url(&quot;\/static\/solid\/angle-right.svg&quot;)\"><\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/nav>\n<div class=\"details_overlay\">\n<div class=\"counter\">\n<span class=\"current\">1<\/span> <span class=\"of\">of<\/span> <span class=\"max\">20<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"details\">\n<div class=\"button-wrapper\">\n<button aria-label=\"Toggle information\" class=\"toggle button outline\"><\/button><br \/>\n<button aria-label=\"Close fullscreen gallery\" class=\"close button\"><\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thumbnails-wrapper overflow-shadow-x\">\n<div class=\"thumbnails\">\n<button class=\"thumbnail active\" data-attribution=\"Rockstar Games\" data-uri=\"ULTIMATE_EDITION_STOCK_305_04.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"GTA 6 - Lucia cosmetics in the Ultimate Edition\" height=\"2160\" src=\"https:\/\/assetsio.gnwcdn.com\/ULTIMATE_EDITION_STOCK_305_04.jpg?width=2048&amp;height=2048&amp;fit=bounds&amp;quality=85&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1\" width=\"3840\"><\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"GTA 6 - Lucia cosmetics in the Ultimate Edition\" data-autosize=\"crop_lossy\" data-uri=\"ULTIMATE_EDITION_STOCK_305_04.jpg\" height=\"2160\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1\" width=\"3840\"><br \/>\n<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"thumbnail\" data-attribution=\"Take-Two \/ Rockstar\" data-uri=\"gta-6-social-network.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A woman sits on a tattoo chair looking at her phone.

exclusive deal with Netflix to air the next &#8216;deep dive&#8217; into the game<\/a> likely helped assure confidence in the game, too.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not all sunshine and roses for Take-Two. The publisher\u2019s mobile business fell seven percent in Q1 (thanks again, <a href=\"https:\/\/gamesbeat.com\/take-twos-mobile-business-falls-7-in-q1-as-last-years-gains-prove-hard-to-match\/\">Gamesbeat<\/a>) &#8211; but that is more due to the heights of its previous year than any particular failing in this year. Zelnick states that its mobile games &#8220;[remain] a significant driver of revenue and margin enhancement&#8221;, and notes that whilst there&#8217;s &#8220;a bit of pressure on user acquisition at the moment&#8221;, studios like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/companies\/zynga\">Zynga<\/a> have fallen in line with the company&#8217;s expectations.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the apparent strength of this earnings call, Take-Two stock opened down 1.9 percent this morning, coming in at $228.2 a share.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"preferred-source\" data-component=\"preferred-source\">\nLove Eurogamer.net?

First off, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has confirmed that the publisher&#8217;s sales are mostly digital, in response to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/sony-ending-playstation-discs-physical-media-january-2028\">Sony&#8217;s controversial decision to stop manufacturing physical disc-based games<\/a>. &#8220;Our business is well over 90% digitally distributed,&#8221; he said during the call (thanks, <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/jasonschreier.bsky.social\/post\/3msilkyu2ic2q\">Jason Schreier<\/a>). &#8220;It&#8217;s already a digital business.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This comes as no surprise, really. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/capcom-playstation-discless-90-percent-digital\">it&#8217;s almost word-for-word what we heard from Capcom earlier this week<\/a>; namely, that digital sales outweigh physical by orders of magnitude, and that PlayStation&#8217;s move to an &#8216;all-digital&#8217; future will not have a great impact on the business it runs. Sega has chimed in, also, noting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/playstation-physical-media-sega-ceo\">&#8220;a digital shift is crucial&#8221; <\/a>for the longevity and health of the games industry. It&#8217;s worth noting that even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/gta-6-online-retail-country-code-in-box-limitation\">the &#8216;physical&#8217; version of GTA 6 will just be &#8216;a code in a box&#8217;<\/a>, marking how significant digital is to Take-Two in the current market.<\/p>\n<p>Industry analyst Daniel Ahmad paints a clear picture of just how important digital sales are to Take-Two, versus physical: &#8220;Physical games made up around 2 percent of their revenue this quarter, and was 3 percent for the last full fiscal year,&#8221; he explains in <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ZhugeEX\/status\/2085719107526160719\">a tweet.<\/a> &#8220;This is all net revenue, which includes DLC \/ microtransactions, [of course]. But it goes to show just how digital oriented the company, and industry at large, is now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"video_wrapper youtube\">\n<a aria-label=\"GTA 6 (Grand Theft Auto 6) - Official Extended Look Teaser Trailer\" class=\"video-facade full-size\" data-platform=\"youtube\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Otak6Rd63i4?autoplay=1\" title=\"Click to play video from YouTube\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Cover image for YouTube video\" class=\"video-facade__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Otak6Rd63i4\/hqdefault.jpg\"><span class=\"video-facade__title\">GTA 6 (Grand Theft Auto 6) &#8211; Official Extended Look Teaser Trailer<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption>An official teaser for a teaser.<a class=\"video\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Otak6Rd63i4\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Watch on YouTube<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Elsewhere in Take-Two&#8217;s earnings call (via <a href=\"https:\/\/gamesbeat.com\/take-two-reports-1-39b-in-bookings-down-3-for-june-quarter\/\">Gamesbeat<\/a>) we can see that the company has revised its Fiscal 2027 net bookings by 200 million, from $8 billion to $8.2 billion. Why? Because of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/gta-6-everything-we-know-so-far-9357\">Grand Theft Auto 6<\/a>, of course. &#8220;Our excellent first quarter results reflect the power of our portfolio and disciplined execution across all of our labels,&#8221; said Zelnick during the call. &#8220;With these positive trends and excitement around the November 19th launch of Grand Theft Auto 6, we are reiterating our Fiscal 2027 Net Bookings outlook of $8 to $8.2 billion.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"injection_placeholder\" data-position=\"1\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Looking further ahead, we expect to sustain this new level of scale and generate strong cash flows, setting us on a path to deliver continued growth and long-term shareholder returns.&#8221; Given <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/gta-6-pre-order-numbers-record\">the strength of GTA 6&#8217;s pre-orders<\/a>, even at this stage, you can see why Take-Two is feeling buoyed by the promise of the game. &#8220;Global excitement for the launch of Grand Theft Auto Six continues to build, with the title having an exceptional start to pre-orders,&#8221; Zelnick said in a call with analysts. But there&#8217;s a level of caution to this excitement, too :&#8221;[Pre-orders] are so unprecedented that we just don\u2019t know how it&#8217;ll translate into sales [&#8230;], and we just don\u2019t believe in claiming victory before it occurs,&#8221; he stated <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/gaming\/news\/gta-6-preorder-sales-take-two-earnings-1236829396\/\">in a call with analysts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"image_wrapper\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"GTA 6 - Lucia cosmetics in the Ultimate Edition\" height=\"2160\" src=\"https:\/\/assetsio.gnwcdn.com\/ULTIMATE_EDITION_STOCK_305_04.jpg?width=2048&amp;height=2048&amp;fit=bounds&amp;quality=85&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.7777777777777777\" width=\"3840\"><\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"GTA 6 - Lucia cosmetics in the Ultimate Edition\" data-autosize=\"bounds_lossy\" data-uri=\"ULTIMATE_EDITION_STOCK_305_04.jpg\" height=\"2160\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.7777777777777777\" width=\"3840\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"loading spinner large\"><\/span><\/p>\n<nav class=\"pagination--hoverable\">\n<div class=\"previous\">\n<button class=\"button pagination-button\"><br \/>\n<span aria-label=\"Previous\" class=\"icon\" role=\"img\" style=\"--icon-mask-image: url(&quot;\/static\/solid\/angle-left.svg&quot;)\"><\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"next\">\n<button class=\"button pagination-button\"><br \/>\n<span aria-label=\"Next\" class=\"icon\" role=\"img\" style=\"--icon-mask-image: url(&quot;\/static\/solid\/angle-right.svg&quot;)\"><\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/nav>\n<div class=\"details_overlay\">\n<div class=\"counter\">\n<span class=\"current\">1<\/span> <span class=\"of\">of<\/span> <span class=\"max\">20<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"details\">\n<div class=\"button-wrapper\">\n<button aria-label=\"Toggle information\" class=\"toggle button outline\"><\/button><br \/>\n<button aria-label=\"Close fullscreen gallery\" class=\"close button\"><\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thumbnails-wrapper overflow-shadow-x\">\n<div class=\"thumbnails\">\n<button class=\"thumbnail active\" data-attribution=\"Rockstar Games\" data-uri=\"ULTIMATE_EDITION_STOCK_305_04.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"GTA 6 - Lucia cosmetics in the Ultimate Edition\" height=\"2160\" src=\"https:\/\/assetsio.gnwcdn.com\/ULTIMATE_EDITION_STOCK_305_04.jpg?width=2048&amp;height=2048&amp;fit=bounds&amp;quality=85&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1\" width=\"3840\"><\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"GTA 6 - Lucia cosmetics in the Ultimate Edition\" data-autosize=\"crop_lossy\" data-uri=\"ULTIMATE_EDITION_STOCK_305_04.jpg\" height=\"2160\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1\" width=\"3840\"><br \/>\n<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"thumbnail\" data-attribution=\"Take-Two \/ Rockstar\" data-uri=\"gta-6-social-network.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A woman sits on a tattoo chair looking at her phone.
