Geographic presence

In fiscal 2026, 40.8% of Take-Two Interactive’s net revenue came from outside the United States, primarily from Europe. The company does not report a more detailed country or regional revenue breakdown.[12][13] It describes China as a focus for expanding distribution and online gaming presence.[12]

Take-Two’s internal development studios span Australia, Canada, China, the Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Hungary, India, Serbia, South Korea, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Its listed subsidiary office locations extend across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, including Australia, Canada, China and Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and multiple European countries.[15][16] Take-Two reports one operating and reportable segment rather than geographic segments.[17] [12]+5

Business segments

Take-Two reports one operating and reportable segment, managed on a consolidated basis; it does not disclose separate segment revenue contributions for its publishing labels. Rockstar Games focuses on a limited slate of long-lived titles, including action-adventure franchises; 2K publishes across genres including sports, shooter, action, role-playing, strategy, and family/casual games; and Zynga focuses on free-to-play mobile games monetized through in-game purchases and advertising. These are publishing labels, not separately reported operating segments.[17]+3

As alternative revenue views, FY2026 net revenue was attributed by platform to mobile (about 50.1%), console (39.0%), and PC and other (10.9%). By content, recurrent consumer spending represented about 78.1% and full game and other 21.9%. These percentages describe revenue mix, not contributions from separate operating segments.[18]+4 [17]+8

Company history

Take-Two Interactive was founded by Ryan Brant and incorporated in 1993. In 1998, it acquired substantially all of BMG Interactive’s assets, including publishing and distribution rights to Grand Theft Auto; the Rockstar Games label was also founded that year. Grand Theft Auto III, released in 2001, marked a major milestone for the franchise.[19]+4

The company expanded its publishing labels and development studios in the mid-2000s. It launched 2K Games in 2005 and acquired Visual Concepts, Kush Games, Irrational Games, and Firaxis, strengthening its sports and game-development operations.[24]+3 Strauss Zelnick became chairman in 2007 and chief executive officer in 2011.[28][29]

Take-Two released Red Dead Redemption in 2010 and Grand Theft Auto V in 2013, extending two of its prominent franchises.[30][31] In 2022, it completed its combination with mobile-game publisher Zynga.[32] In 2024, it completed its acquisition of Gearbox and sold Private Division and substantially all rights to that label’s titles.[33][20] [20]+14
