The moment the entire GTA community has been waiting for is approaching. On August 7, 2026, Take-Two Interactive will hold its next earnings call, a particularly important event since it comes just a few months before the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, still scheduled for November 19, 2026.
But this conference could above all be an opportunity to get new, highly anticipated information about the launch of GTA 6.
The first real assessment since pre-orders opened
With GTA 6 pre-orders now open, this earnings call will be Take-Two's first major appearance that could potentially give an idea of the game's commercial reception.
Take-Two could therefore be asked about pre-order performance and, depending on the level of detail the company shares, reveal the number of pre-orders recorded for GTA 6.
That said, caution is warranted: Take-Two is not required to share a precise figure. The company could simply mention strong demand, reservations above expectations, or provide a few commercial indicators.
But if the number of pre-orders were officially disclosed, it would obviously be major information for the industry.
A particularly interesting timing
What makes this call even more interesting is its calendar.
The event is scheduled for Friday, August 7 at 8 a.m. ET, a few hours before the U.S. markets open. It is also Take-Two's last earnings call before the release of GTA 6 in November.
And it is precisely this timing that fuels the speculation around Rockstar.
For several weeks now, various sources and insiders have been talking about new information on GTA 6 arriving during the month of August. NateTheHate notably indicated that players should see "quite a bit" of content around the game during the month.
Could Trailer 3 arrive before the call?
This is probably the most exciting possibility.
Several rumors now place GTA 6's Trailer 3 in early August, with one date coming up in particular: August 6, just 24 hours before Take-Two's earnings call.
Tom Henderson notably mentioned this date as a possibility, while clarifying that it is a prediction and not confirmed information coming from a privileged source.
The scenario would therefore be particularly interesting:
August 6: Rockstar Games reveals Trailer 3
↓
August 7: Take-Two presents its financial results

Take-Two can comment on the huge reaction around GTA 6 and possibly its pre-orders
Of course, Rockstar could also decide not to release anything before the call. No official date has been announced for Trailer 3.
A Trailer 3 that could finally show more gameplay
After two first trailers mainly focused on the world, the characters, and the staging, the anticipation around a real gameplay presentation is immense.
Several media outlets and observers precisely expect Rockstar to start showing more of the game in the coming weeks, as the November 19 release rapidly approaches.
A third trailer could therefore mark the real start of the final phase of Rockstar's communication: gameplay, open world, activities, vehicles, characters, and new footage of Vice City could be on the program.
The last call before GTA 6
One thing is certain: August 7 will be Take-Two's last earnings call before the release of GTA 6.
This means that the publisher's next major financial appearance will take place when GTA 6 is already out.
In other words, the coming weeks constitute an extremely important period.
Between pre-orders now open, the expected acceleration of the marketing campaign, and the many speculations around Trailer 3, Rockstar could soon enter the home stretch of GTA 6's promotion.
And if Rockstar really decided to release Trailer 3 on August 6, August 7 could become one of the most important dates of GTA 6's entire marketing campaign.
For now, only one thing is certain: the appointment is set for August 7. As for the rest, Rockstar is still keeping quiet.
