Grand Theft Auto 6 Is Going to Be a Massive Success, and This Latest Stat Proves It

Take-Two Interactive shares jumped more than 7% on rumors that Grand Theft Auto 6 preorders could open May 18 and run through May 21.

The speculation came from a reported leaked Best Buy email and helped lift the company’s market cap to about $44.9 billion.

The stock move shows GTA 6 is already affecting Take-Two’s valuation and underscores expectations for a blockbuster launch.
