Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to YES if Rockstar Games or its parent company Take-Two Interactive officially announces Grand Theft Auto VII (or GTA 7) before January 1, 2036 (specifically by December 31, 2035, at 11:59 PM UTC).

An "official announcement" must meet at least one of the following criteria:

• A formal press release or newswire post on the Rockstar Games official website explicitly naming the game (Grand Theft Auto VII, Grand Theft Auto 7, GTA VII, or GTA 7).

• A debut trailer or teaser trailer published on Rockstar Games' official YouTube channel or social media.

• An official SEC filing or press release from Take-Two Interactive announcing the project by name.

Notes and Edge Cases:

• Vague statements regarding "the next installment in the Grand Theft Auto series is underway" or general pre-production confirmations will not count unless they explicitly reference "7" or "VII" in the name.

• Joking references, off-hand executive comments during investor calls (such as Strauss Zelnick's brief mention in 2024), and unofficial developer leaks will not qualify as an official announcement.

• If no official announcement meeting these criteria has occurred by December 31, 2035, at 11:59 PM UTC, the market will resolve to NO.

Background

Following its initial reveal in December 2023, Grand Theft Auto VI is officially scheduled to release on November 19, 2026, for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. This represents a 13-year gap since the launch of Grand Theft Auto V in 2013.

While Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick playfully joked "GTA 7?" during the TD Cowen Conference in mid-2024 when asked about the future of Rockstar's release cadence, no formal development plans, titles, or timelines have been established for a seventh mainline entry. Given the massive scale and development cycles associated with modern Rockstar titles, this market tracks whether the successor to GTA 6 will see its first official marketing push before 2036.
