Take-Two stock surges $1B after ShinyHunters GTA Online revenue leak

Take-Two Interactive's shares jumped over 2% on April 14, 2026, adding roughly $1 billion to its market cap, following ShinyHunters' leak of Rockstar Games' GTA Online and Red Dead Online revenue data the previous day.

The stock opened around $202 per share and peaked at $207 before settling at $205.77 by early afternoon EST, marking one of Take-Two's strongest trading days in months, as noted by Insider Gaming.

This reaction came after ShinyHunters, having breached Rockstar's cloud servers via Snowflake and Anodot software, released the data on April 13 when Rockstar refused a ransom. As detailed in prior coverage, the leak revealed GTA Online averaging $1.3 million daily ($9.5-10 million weekly), far outpacing Red Dead Online's ~$500,000 weekly. Platform breakdowns showed PlayStation 5 dominating at $4.4 million weekly, with PC lagging at $264,000—figures verified by outlets like Kotaku and GTA Forums.

Rockstar has maintained the breach involved only limited, non-material information with no impact on operations, players, or GTA 6 development. No source code or player data was leaked.
