Take-Two Stock (TTWO) Slips Alongside a GTA VI Online Release Date Rumor

Take-Two (TTWO) stock was down on Thursday despite a new report concerning Grand Theft Auto VI. According to video game sector insider TheGhostOfHope, Rockstar Games, the developer of GTA VI, plans to launch the online mode of the game roughly one month after the game’s release. Considering the game is set to release on November 19, 2026, gamers will likely see the launch of the online mode in December 2026.

The latest reports also suggest that Take-Two will release multiple versions of GTA VI to meet its different audiences. The publisher will likely release a version that includes the base game, one that is bundled with the online element, and another that is a standalone version of the online mode. This means the price of the game could vary greatly, depending on which version players purchase.

There’s also still one major thing about GTA VI that hasn’t been revealed yet: the price. Take-Two has yet to reveal how much the game will cost, but it could be quite expensive. Experts have estimated that the company could charge as much as $100 for the game, though it’s unclear which version this would be. That $100 price would make sense if it was the complete edition that includes both the base game and online mode.
