Rockstar Games sits inside that total and reports no revenue of its own. This post covers what Take-Two&#8217;s filings actually disclose about Rockstar&#8217;s revenue drivers: net bookings history, platform mix, lifetime unit sales, and the GTA VI launch that anchors fiscal 2027 guidance of $8.0 to $8.2 billion.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Rockstar Games Revenue<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cards\">\n<div class=\"card\"><b>$6.72B<\/b>Take-Two net bookings in FY2026 (ended March 31, 2026), up 19% year over year.<\/div>\n<div class=\"card\"><b>78%<\/b>Share of FY2026 net bookings from recurrent consumer spending, including GTA Online.<\/div>\n<div class=\"card\"><b>470M+<\/b>Grand Theft Auto series units sold-in worldwide as of March 31, 2026.<\/div>\n<div class=\"card\"><b>85M+<\/b>Red Dead Redemption 2 units sold-in as of March 31, 2026.<\/div>\n<div class=\"card\"><b>$79.99<\/b>GTA VI Standard Edition price at the November 19, 2026 launch.<\/div>\n<div class=\"card\"><b>$8.0-8.2B<\/b>Take-Two net bookings guidance for FY2027, the GTA VI launch year.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>Why Is There No Standalone Rockstar Games Revenue Figure?<\/h2>\n<p>Rockstar Games has been a wholly owned label of Take-Two Interactive since 1998, and Take-Two does not break out results by label in any filing.<\/p>\n<p>No audited Rockstar-only revenue number exists. Estimate sites publish modelled figures for the label, but those are models, not measurements, and none can be traced to a Take-Two disclosure.<\/p>\n<p>Everything verifiable runs through Take-Two&#8217;s consolidated reporting, which covers Rockstar, 2K, and Zynga together. A detailed <a href=\"https:\/\/rec0ded88.com\/statistics\/take-two-interactive\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external\">breakdown of Take-Two&#8217;s FY2026 numbers<\/a> shows how the parent company&#8217;s figures are structured.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Rockstar Games Revenue Inside Take-Two Net Bookings<\/h2>\n<p>Take-Two&#8217;s net bookings grew from $5.28 billion in FY2023 to $6.72 billion in FY2026, with each fiscal year ending March 31. FY2026 came in roughly $750 million above the company&#8217;s initial guidance, according to CEO Strauss Zelnick&#8217;s shareholder letter.<\/p>\n<p>GAAP net revenue for FY2026 rose 18% to $6.66 billion. Recurrent consumer spending, which includes GTA Online and GTA+ alongside NBA 2K and Zynga&#8217;s mobile titles, grew 17% and accounted for 78% of net bookings.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr><th>Fiscal year (ended March 31)<\/th><th>Net bookings<\/th><th>Change<\/th><\/tr>\n<tr><td>FY2023<\/td><td>$5.28 billion<\/td><td>&mdash;<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>FY2024<\/td><td>$5.33 billion<\/td><td>+1%<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>FY2025<\/td><td>$5.65 billion<\/td><td>+6%<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>FY2026<\/td><td>$6.72 billion<\/td><td>+19%<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"src\">Source: Take-Two Interactive fiscal year results, FY2024 (May 16, 2024) and FY2026 (May 21, 2026)<\/p>\n<h3>Take-Two Net Bookings by Fiscal Year<\/h3>\n<p class=\"meta\">USD billions, fiscal years ended March 31 (Take-Two Interactive results)<\/p>\n<div class=\"chartbox\"><canvas id=\"nbLine\"><\/canvas><\/div>\n<p>Grand Theft Auto Online and Grand Theft Auto V appear among the largest contributors to net bookings in every one of those years, per Take-Two&#8217;s results releases. Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online also made the FY2026 contributor list.<\/p>\n<p>In the fiscal fourth quarter alone (January to March 2026), net bookings were $1.58 billion, with recurrent consumer spending at 82% of the total.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Rockstar Games Revenue by Platform: Where It Sits in the FY2026 Mix<\/h2>\n<p>Mobile generated 49% of Take-Two&#8217;s FY2026 net bookings, down from 51% in FY2025 as console and PC contributions grew, based on figures reported by PocketGamer.biz from the FY2026 results.<\/p>\n<p>Rockstar participates in almost none of that mobile figure, which belongs overwhelmingly to Zynga&#8217;s portfolio. Rockstar&#8217;s revenue concentrates inside the console and PC side, a dynamic visible in <a href=\"https:\/\/icon-era.com\/threads\/taketwo-net-bookings-by-platform-console-40-mobile-52-and-pc-8.15800\/\">earlier platform splits of Take-Two&#8217;s net bookings<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n<h3>FY2026 Net Bookings Share by Platform Group<\/h3>\n<p class=\"meta\">Share of Take-Two net bookings, fiscal year ended March 31, 2026<\/p>\n<div class=\"chartbox\" style=\"max-width:420px;\"><canvas id=\"platDonut\"><\/canvas><\/div>\n<p class=\"src\">Source: Take-Two Interactive FY2026 results via PocketGamer.biz, May 2026<\/p>\n<p>The split matters for timing. GTA VI ships on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only, with no PC date announced, so its initial contribution lands entirely on the console line.<\/p>\n\n<h2>How Many Units Have Rockstar Games Titles Sold?<\/h2>\n<p>The Grand Theft Auto series passed 470 million units sold-in worldwide as of March 31, 2026, up from nearly 465 million a quarter earlier. Grand Theft Auto V alone stands at nearly 230 million units, thirteen years after its 2013 release.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Dead Redemption series reached nearly 115 million units, with Red Dead Redemption 2 crossing 85 million. For scale, Take-Two&#8217;s NBA 2K series under the 2K label sits at nearly 173 million units.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr><th>Franchise or title<\/th><th>Units sold-in (March 31, 2026)<\/th><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Grand Theft Auto series<\/td><td>Over 470 million<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Grand Theft Auto V<\/td><td>Nearly 230 million<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>NBA 2K series (2K label, for scale)<\/td><td>Nearly 173 million<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Red Dead Redemption series<\/td><td>Nearly 115 million<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Red Dead Redemption 2<\/td><td>Over 85 million<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"src\">Source: Take-Two Interactive FY2026 results, May 21, 2026<\/p>\n<h3>Lifetime Units Sold-In by Franchise and Title<\/h3>\n<p class=\"meta\">Millions of units sold-in worldwide as of March 31, 2026 (Take-Two Interactive)<\/p>\n<div class=\"chartbox\"><canvas id=\"unitsBar\"><\/canvas><\/div>\n<p>One title accounts for roughly half the GTA franchise&#8217;s lifetime units. GTA V remains among the contributors named in Take-Two&#8217;s quarterly results across three console generations.<\/p>\n<h3>Red Dead Redemption 2 Keeps Selling Without New Content<\/h3>\n<p>RDR2.org reported the game at 79 million units in November 2025 and over 85 million by March 31, 2026, an addition of roughly 6 million copies in about six months. That pace came with no story expansion, no native current-generation version, and no major Red Dead Online updates since 2022, per the same report.<\/p>\n<p>Zelnick said on the May 21, 2026 earnings call that Red Dead Redemption 2 achieved its highest level of annual unit sales since its launch year, as reported by Game Rant. Catalogue sales at that pace sustained Rockstar&#8217;s contribution during a year with no new release.<\/p>\n\n<h2>GTA VI Pricing and the Rockstar Games Revenue Outlook<\/h2>\n<p>Rockstar opened GTA VI pre-orders on June 25, 2026 with two editions: Standard at $79.99 and Ultimate at $99.99. The Standard price sits above the $69.99 that became common for this console generation.<\/p>\n<p>Physical copies ship with a download code rather than a disc, and digital pre-loading begins November 12, 2026. Rockstar describes the game as a single-player experience at launch.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr><th>Item<\/th><th>Detail<\/th><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Release date<\/td><td>November 19, 2026<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Platforms at launch<\/td><td>PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Pre-orders opened<\/td><td>June 25, 2026<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Standard Edition<\/td><td>$79.99<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Ultimate Edition<\/td><td>$99.99<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Digital pre-load opens<\/td><td>November 12, 2026<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Pre-order bonus<\/td><td>Vintage Vice City Pack (purchases before November 20, 2026)<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"src\">Source: Rockstar Games pre-order announcement, June 24, 2026<\/p>\n<p>Take-Two guides FY2027 net bookings at $8.0 to $8.2 billion, a range that explicitly factors in the November 19 launch. The fiscal year closes March 31, 2027, so GTA VI contributes roughly four and a half months of sales inside the guidance period.<\/p>\n<h3>FY2026 Actual vs FY2027 Guidance Range<\/h3>\n<p class=\"meta\">Take-Two net bookings, USD billions; FY2027 figures are company guidance issued May 21, 2026<\/p>\n<div class=\"chartbox\"><canvas id=\"guideBar\"><\/canvas><\/div>\n<p>The company also expects operating cash flow above $1 billion in FY2027, against $624 million recorded in FY2026. Fuller context on the parent company&#8217;s trajectory is available in these <a href=\"https:\/\/icon-era.com\/statistics\/take-two-interactive\/\">Take-Two Interactive statistics<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2>What Rockstar Games Revenue Data Can Be Verified<\/h2>\n<p>Three things are documented. Take-Two posted record net bookings of $6.72 billion in FY2026 with 78% from recurrent spending, Rockstar&#8217;s two flagship franchises have sold in over 470 million and nearly 115 million units, and FY2027 guidance of $8.0 to $8.2 billion rests on a November 19, 2026 release date.<\/p>\n<p>What cannot be verified from any filing is a standalone Rockstar Games revenue number. Every version of it in circulation is a model, not a measurement.<\/p>\n\n<h2>FAQs<\/h2>\n<details>\n<summary>How much revenue does Rockstar Games make per year?<\/summary>\n<p>No audited figure exists. Rockstar is a Take-Two Interactive label, and Take-Two does not report revenue by label. Take-Two&#8217;s company-wide net bookings were $6.72 billion in FY2026, ended March 31, 2026.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Is the Rockstar revenue figure shared on Reddit accurate?<\/summary>\n<p>Figures for standalone Rockstar revenue posted on Reddit come from third-party estimate models, not Take-Two filings. Take-Two discloses only consolidated results covering Rockstar, 2K, and Zynga together, so no Reddit figure can be verified against a filing.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Why do some Reddit threads say GTA VI costs $100?<\/summary>\n<p>The $99.99 price applies to the Ultimate Edition only. Rockstar confirmed the Standard Edition at $79.99 when pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026, below the $100 base-game figure rumored earlier.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How many copies has GTA V sold?<\/summary>\n<p>Nearly 230 million units sold-in worldwide as of March 31, 2026, per Take-Two&#8217;s FY2026 results. The full Grand Theft Auto series has passed 470 million units.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How much will GTA VI add to Take-Two&#8217;s revenue?<\/summary>\n<p>Take-Two guides FY2027 net bookings at $8.0 to $8.2 billion, up from $6.72 billion in FY2026. The guidance factors in roughly four and a half months of GTA VI sales before the fiscal year ends March 31, 2027.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\n<p><a
