What happened: on Monday, November 2, investment bank Piper Sandler shared results from its regular survey of about 9,000 US teenagers. Take-Two shares rose about 1.5% in premarket trading after the note.
The numbers
- 70% of teens who own a newest-generation console plan to buy GTA 6: 55% right away and 15% after a few months.
- About 90% of those planning to buy say they'll play GTA Online.
- Piper Sandler says that suggests about a 44% payer rate for GTA Online.
- One caveat: around 21% of consoles in the survey are in the same household, so not every console means a copy sold.
What it means
This is stated intent from one age group, not sales. Rockstar and Take-Two haven't shared GTA 6 sales numbers. Take-Two reports its next quarterly results after the market closes on November 9. GTA VI launches November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
