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.

Imeripotiwa na AI Picha iliyoundwa na AI

Hacking group ShinyHunters published stolen revenue metrics from Rockstar Games on April 13, 2026, after the company ignored their ransom demand from two days prior. The data shows Grand Theft Auto Online averaging $1.3 million daily over the past six months—about $10 million weekly—versus Red Dead Online's $500,000 weekly. Rockstar, which confirmed a limited breach earlier, reiterated no impact on operations or players.

Leaked Rockstar data from the ShinyHunters breach reveals GTA Online's average $1.3 million daily revenue over the past six months, driving a surge in parent company Take-Two Interactive's stock. CEO Strauss Zelnick confirmed ongoing support for the live-service game even after Grand Theft Auto 6's November 19 launch.

Take-Two Interactive's shares fell 7.9% on January 31, 2026, following Google's unveiling of Project Genie, an AI tool for generating interactive worlds. The decline occurred ahead of the company's fiscal third-quarter earnings report scheduled for February 3. Investors are concerned about AI's potential impact on game development.

A purported leak of Grand Theft Auto VI's price has surfaced online, prompting a live blog from indy100 to track developments. The site is following updates on the leak, along with trailers and fan reactions. No official confirmation from Rockstar Games has been reported.

Robinhood Markets reported fourth-quarter revenue of $1.28 billion for 2025, falling short of analyst forecasts of $1.33 billion, primarily due to a 38% drop in crypto trading revenue to $221 million. Despite the miss, earnings per share of $0.66 exceeded expectations of $0.63. The results highlight the impact of a broader crypto market downturn on the trading platform's business.

The second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI has achieved a significant milestone on YouTube. Indy100 is providing live coverage of the event through its blog on Rockstar Games updates. Fans can follow for the latest news, leaks, trailers, and reactions.
