In a recent analysis, the artificial intelligence model, ChatGPT, has provided predictions for the future trajectory of Take-Two Interactive's shares (TTWO) during the anticipated launch of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) in 2025. The AI noted the significant impact that news related to the game has already had on TTWO's stock performance. It highlighted that the publisher's shares experienced a significant drop in September 2022 following an early gameplay leak, but surged in November 2023 on reports of an imminent official announcement.

Considering factors such as the overall reception of GTA VI and broader market conditions, ChatGPT predicted that TTWO's shares are likely to range between $160 and $200 during the game's launch. However, the AI cautioned that this estimate should be considered conservative, given the distant and vague release date of GTA VI.

ChatGPT also presented alternative scenarios for TTWO's share price in 2025, based on different outcomes related to the game and market conditions. The AI acknowledged GTA's strong reputation for quality but mentioned instances of highly-regarded studios suffering from poor launches, as seen with CDProjektRed's Cyberpunk 2077. Furthermore, while the market is currently in an uptrend, it is uncertain whether this trend will continue until the release of GTA VI.

In the most likely scenario envisioned by ChatGPT, where a bull market persists and the game is well-received, TTWO's shares could exceed $200. Conversely, a bull market combined with a poor reception could place the publisher's shares between $160 and $180. In scenarios assuming a downturn in the market, a good launch for GTA VI could still push TTWO's shares to a range between $150 and $180, while a poor launch could potentially drop the stock to as low as $130.

The AI emphasized that its predictions should be treated as no more than educated guesses, expressing a 40% confidence level in the most likely scenario of a bull market paired with a strong launch.

While the exact performance of TTWO in 2025 remains uncertain, the company's shares have shown steady growth throughout 2023. Since the beginning of the year, TTWO's stock has risen by a significant 52.99%. Over the past 30 days, the shares have remained largely positive with a 17.40% increase and a more modest 0.37% increase in the last 7 days. At the time of publication, Take-Two Interactive shares are valued at $157.62, having risen by 0.55% during the last full trading day.

The recent performance of TTWO on the stock market underscores the potential impact of GTA VI-related news in the future. Notably, the premature release of the official trailer, prompted by a leak on X, led to a short-lived but significant decline of approximately 5% in the extended hours trading between Monday and Tuesday.

While these insights from ChatGPT offer some perspective on the potential trajectory of TTWO's shares during the launch of GTA VI, they should be treated as speculative projections, considering the volatility of both the gaming industry and the stock market.
