Okay, so let’s dive in—I promise this won’t be a polished masterpiece, more like, you know, meandering thoughts on a page, so buckle up.
Take-Two, which, for some reason, my brain always wants to call “Take A Break” (maybe I need one), well, they’re pretty happy right now. They’ve seen a solid 17% jump in net bookings, whatever those are, in the first bit of their financial year. They pulled in $1.42 billion for the three months ending June 30th. Honestly, I can’t even wrap my mind around that kind of money. It’s up from last year’s $1.22 billion—like, great job, right?
Most of this growth comes from their big guns like Grand Theft Auto 5, which, let’s be real, is still an absolute monster. And NBA 2K25—though my skills there are nonexistent. Red Dead Redemption 2’s in the mix too. Good stuff, even if I still get lost on the map half the time. Oh, let’s not forget their mobile games, which apparently are carrying a decent chunk of the load. Who really knew?
Their CEO, Strauss Zelnick—sounds like someone who’d have a fancy office and an espresso machine close by—is telling folks they’re ramping up their expectations for Fiscal Year 2026. They’re eyeing $6.05 to $6.15 billion. Like, that’s a lotta zeros. They’re gung-ho about some new releases coming up, which probably means I’ll have a few more distractions soon. They seem pretty pumped about delivering big returns. Or, you know, just excited to keep bringing folks back to their gaming worlds.
Maybe that’s all part of their master plan. Or maybe—I don’t know—I just stopped thinking straight. Where was I?
