Take-Two Sells Off Private Division To Undisclosed 3rd Party

Take-Two Interactive has sold its “Tales of the Shire” developer Private Division.

“I am pleased to report that we delivered strong second quarter results. Our Net Bookings of $1.47 billion were at the top of our guidance range, driven by the continued success of the Grand Theft Auto and Borderlands franchises, and our operating results surpassed our plans, largely due to a shift in the timing of marketing expenses within the year,” said Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two Interactive.

“Our execution has been consistent, and our teams continue to make great progress advancing our development pipeline. Accordingly, we are reiterating our fiscal year 2025 Net Bookings guidance range of $5.55 to $5.65 billion, and we are confident that we will achieve sequential increases and record levels of Net Bookings in fiscal years 2026 and 2027.”

“As we look ahead, we believe that Take-Two remains exceedingly well-positioned for the long-term. Our vision is clear, our talent is unparalleled, and we have one of the strongest portfolios of owned intellectual property in our industry. With many exciting new titles coming in Fiscal 2026 – including Grand Theft Auto VI in the fall, Borderlands 4 and Mafia: The Old Country – we expect to create long-term value for our shareholders.

However, according to Variety is seems Take Two Interactive has sold off its Private Division subsidiary to an undisclosed 3rd party, which acquired all of its portfolio sans No Rest for the Wicked.

“We recently made the strategic decision to sell our Private Division label so we could focus our resources on growing our core businesses for the long term," said Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick.
