Take-Two says, “Sorry for the ‘GTA’ delay — here’s a trailer”

Just four days after Take-Two broke the news that it would bump the release date of “Grand Theft Auto VI” from fall 2025 to May 26, 2026, the publisher dropped its second trailer for the game.

The apparent mea culpa sent Take-Two shares climbing, nearly erasing its losses from Friday’s delay announcement.

The impressive-looking trailer also has the potential to be big for YouTube: the first trailer (which dropped all the way back in December 2023) broke the site’s non-music-video 24-hour view record, notching more than 93 million views in a day. It’s got over 252 million now.

The industry has high expectations for the game, which is expected to boost overall console sales and break $1 billion in preorders alone.

The BBC has become the world’s top news website... by collapsing a little less than its competition

Press Gazette just published its annual look at the biggest news sites in the world across all languages; for the most part, it doesn’t make for particularly pretty reading.

The journalism industry publication’s latest update, which is based on estimates provided by Similarweb for May, found that 37 of the world’s 50 most visited news sites saw their reach shrink. Press Gazette highlighted that American outlets have been hit particularly hard by declining Google traffic compared to European counterparts, owing to the platform’s AI features rolling out earlier in the US.

Even the BBC, having climbed the rankings from last year to top the 2026 chart — reportedly in part thanks to Similarweb’s decision to combine the “.co.uk” and “.com” versions of the URL, given that the sites redirect to each other depending on the user’s location — showed a 1.9% decline from last year.
