Take-Two says, “Sorry for the ‘GTA’ delay — here’s a trailer”

Just four days after Take-Two broke the news that it would bump the release date of “Grand Theft Auto VI” from fall 2025 to May 26, 2026, the publisher dropped its second trailer for the game.

The apparent mea culpa sent Take-Two shares climbing, nearly erasing its losses from Friday’s delay announcement.

The impressive-looking trailer also has the potential to be big for YouTube: the first trailer (which dropped all the way back in December 2023) broke the site’s non-music-video 24-hour view record, notching more than 93 million views in a day. It’s got over 252 million now.

The industry has high expectations for the game, which is expected to boost overall console sales and break $1 billion in preorders alone.

Netflix slumps as Elon Musk ramps up calls for boycotts on the streaming giant

Netflix shares slumped Thursday, down for the third straight day, as Elon Musk continued to push for users to cancel their subscriptions to the streaming giant.

The backlash centers mostly on Netflixs animated series Dead End: Paranormal Park, though Musk has also referenced The Baby-Sitters Club, shows that touch on transgender themes. On Tuesday, he replied “Same” to a user who said they’d canceled Netflix, confirming he had too. Early Wednesday he urged, “Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids.”

Musk continued to back a boycott on Thursday, resharing to his 227 million X followers several posts of users canceling their accounts and highlighting cultural criticisms around the show.

Netflix stock has performed well this year, rising about 30%.
