Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ: TTWO) — the New York-based parent company of Rockstar Games, 2K, and Zynga — reports its fourth-quarter and full-year fiscal 2026 earnings on Thursday, May 21, 2026, with a live conference call at 4:30 PM Eastern Time. The call covers the three months and twelve months ended March 31, 2026, and lands roughly six months before the scheduled November 19, 2026 launch of Grand Theft Auto VI.
This page is the logistics guide: where to watch the live stream, the dial-in numbers, the press release timing, where to find the replay, and answers to the most-searched questions about Take-Two's earnings.

Why this earnings call matters
The May 21 call is the last quarterly report before GTA 6's launch quarter. Take-Two's fiscal 2027 began on April 1, 2026, which means GTA 6 ships in Q3 of fiscal 2027 (the quarter ending December 31, 2026). The fiscal 2027 net bookings guidance Take-Two issues alongside this earnings release will, by definition, contain the company's internal launch-quarter assumptions — making it the single most-scrutinized financial data point of the year for GTA 6 investors and fans.
Three audiences track this call closely:
- Investors: TTWO trades on NASDAQ and has historically moved several percentage points in extended-hours trading immediately after the press release crosses the wire at 4:00 PM ET.
- Games industry press: outlets including IGN, GameSpot, Eurogamer, and The Game Business cover Take-Two's prepared remarks and Q&A live, focused on Rockstar's pipeline and 2K's sports portfolio.
- GTA 6 community: r/GTA6, GTAForums, and major YouTube creators time-stamp every Strauss Zelnick mention of marketing, pre-orders, or platform plans within minutes of the call ending.

Option 1 — Watch the live webcast (recommended)
Take-Two will host a live, listen-only webcast of the conference call at take2games.com/ir. This is the path most fans, investors, and reporters use. It requires no registration, no dial-in, and no broker account.
To find it on the day of the call:
The webcast is one-way — listeners can hear management's prepared remarks and the analyst Q&A, but cannot ask questions or interact with the call.
Option 2 — Dial in by phone
The conference call is also available by phone on the numbers Take-Two published in its press release:
- United States and Canada (toll-free): (800) 715-9871
- International: (646) 307-1963
- Conference ID: 9711440
Phone access is the same one-way listen-only feed the webcast carries — there is no way for non-analysts to ask questions on the call. The dial-in is provided for accessibility and for anyone who can't get a stable browser stream at 4:30 PM ET.
Option 3 — Listen to the replay after the call
A webcast replay will be posted to take2games.com/ir shortly after the live call ends. Take-Two typically keeps replays of recent quarterly calls indexed under Earnings Conference Call and Quarterly Earnings for at least the duration of the fiscal year.
For most fans, the replay is the practical option — the live call runs about 60 to 75 minutes, and the prepared remarks and pipeline commentary are easier to scan in a recorded format than in real time.
Where to find the press release
Take-Two posts its quarterly earnings press release to its IR site before the call begins, typically right after market close at 4:00 PM ET. The press release contains:
- Q4 and full-year FY26 net bookings, net revenue, and GAAP/non-GAAP earnings
- Fiscal 2027 guidance — full-year net bookings, net revenue, and earnings ranges
- Initial Q1 FY27 guidance for the quarter ending June 30, 2026
- Pipeline commentary in the form of a written outlook section
The press release is the single most-cited document of the day for both investors and games-press coverage. It will be posted to Take-Two's News Releases page and indexed under Quarterly Earnings.
What to expect on the call itself
Take-Two earnings calls follow a consistent structure:
- 4:30 PM ET — Call begins. Brief welcome from Investor Relations.
- ~4:32 PM ET — Prepared remarks from CEO Strauss Zelnick (typically 8 to 12 minutes).
- ~4:42 PM ET — Prepared remarks from CFO Lainie Goldstein (typically 6 to 10 minutes), covering segment results and forward guidance.
- ~4:55 PM ET — Analyst Q&A. Sell-side analysts from firms including Morgan Stanley, BofA, Wedbush, and others ask scheduled questions. Most GTA 6-relevant commentary historically comes in this segment.
- ~5:30 to 5:45 PM ET — Call ends.
A full transcript is typically available within 24 hours on third-party platforms including Yahoo Finance and Seeking Alpha, and Take-Two's prepared remarks slide deck is generally posted to its IR site alongside the press release.
Who's speaking on the call
Two Take-Two executives deliver the prepared remarks on every quarterly call:
- Strauss Zelnick — Chairman and CEO of Take-Two Interactive since 2007, founder and partner of ZelnickMedia. Zelnick is the public face of the company on earnings calls and the primary source of forward-looking commentary on Rockstar's pipeline. He is, by industry standards, conservative about pre-committing to specifics, which makes any direct GTA 6 marketing-window language unusually weight-bearing when it does appear.
- Lainie Goldstein — Chief Financial Officer of Take-Two Interactive since 2007. A CPA with more than 30 years of finance experience, Goldstein covers segment results, recurrent consumer spending trends, and the quantitative guidance ranges. She also fielded analyst questions during the integration period of Take-Two's $12.7 billion acquisition of Zynga in 2022. (Take-Two IR — management profile)
A rotating slate of sell-side analysts asks questions during Q&A. Recurring names on Take-Two calls include Matthew Cost (Morgan Stanley), Eric Sheridan (Goldman Sachs), Doug Creutz (TD Cowen), Andrew Marok (Raymond James), Drew Crum (Stifel), and Michael Pachter (Wedbush) — historically the most aggressive about pressing on Rockstar's release-window specifics.
Take-Two earnings 101: what gets reported
If this is your first Take-Two earnings call, four metrics anchor the press release and the analyst conversation:
- Net bookings — Take-Two's preferred top-line metric. It captures the value of products and services sold during the period, including the deferred portion of digitally delivered content. Investors track this more closely than GAAP net revenue because it better reflects in-period sales performance.
- Net revenue — The GAAP number. Recognizes a portion of digital sales over the service period rather than at point of sale, so it lags net bookings on launches with online services.
- Recurrent consumer spending (RCS) — In-game purchases, virtual currency, add-on content, and microtransactions. RCS makes up the majority of Take-Two's revenue mix on a normal quarter, driven primarily by GTA Online, NBA 2K, and Zynga's mobile portfolio.
- Forward guidance — A numeric range for the next quarter (Q1 FY27, ending June 30, 2026) and the full fiscal year (FY27, ending March 31, 2027). The FY27 range is the figure that implicitly contains Take-Two's GTA 6 launch-quarter assumptions.
Take-Two reports across three publishing labels: Rockstar Games, 2K, and Zynga. Segment commentary in the prepared remarks usually addresses each separately.
What's officially confirmed about this specific call
The only officially-confirmed facts about the May 21 call are the ones Take-Two announced in its scheduling press release: the date, the time, the conference ID, and the webcast URL. Take-Two has not pre-committed to any GTA 6-specific announcement, trailer drop, pre-order opening, or pricing reveal as part of the May 21 call. Anything beyond the items above is speculation until Rockstar Games or Take-Two publishes it on the day.
For the running list of officially-confirmed GTA 6 facts as Rockstar drops them, the GTA 6 Launch Desk is updated continuously. The site does not carry leaks or rumors — including in coverage of this call.
