Only 42 SEC Documents Have Ever Named Grand Theft Auto VI

Search the whole of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's full-text filing archive for the exact phrase "Grand Theft Auto VI" and you get 42 documents. Not 42 this year. Forty-two ever, across every filer, in an index that reaches back to 2001. Thirty-one of them are Take-Two's own. Eight belong to Turtle Beach, which makes gaming headsets. One belongs to Corsair Gaming, which makes gaming peripherals. The remaining two are shareholder reports filed by two fund managers in January 2018, eight years stale and unrelated to anything current. So outside the publisher itself, exactly two operating companies have ever named this game in a filing with the SEC, and both of them sell headsets. The census CONFIRMED, from the SEC's full-text search endpoint, queried for the exact phrase across 1 January 2001 to 2 September 2026, HTTP 200, fetched at 03:13:00 UTC on 2 September, with all 42 hits returned. The full-text index covers filings from 2001 onward, which is the outer bound of this finding and worth stating rather than implying that nothing before 2001 exists. Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.: 31 documents. Turtle Beach Corporation: 8 documents, running from a quarterly report in May 2025 through an annual report, an annual shareholder report and three current reports, to the current report of 6 August 2026. Corsair Gaming, Inc.: 1 document, a current report exhibit filed 1 August 2024. Two fund filers: 1 shareholder report each, filed 3 and 5 January 2018. The three most recent documents in all of EDGAR naming the game are Turtle Beach's current report exhibit of 6 August 2026, then Take-Two's earnings release exhibit and quarterly report, both filed 7 August 2026. Nothing since. That is 26 days in which no filer of any kind has written the game's name in a filing. The headset company staking its guidance on somebody else's release date CONFIRMED, verbatim, from Turtle Beach's 6 August 2026 current report exhibit, fetched at 03:18:40 UTC. The release is headed as announcing second quarter 2026 results and reiterating full-year guidance. It reports net revenue of $56.4 million in the quarter and $25.0 million of stock repurchased, and reiterates full-year 2026 guidance of $335 million to $355 million in net revenue and $44 million to $48 million in adjusted EBITDA. Chief executive Cris Keirn, quoted in the release: Our confidence in our full-year 2026 outlook is supported not only by our execution but also by the favorable industry backdrop developing in the second half of the year. With the confirmed November launch of Grand Theft Auto VI and a strong lineup of other highly anticipated titles, we believe Turtle Beach is well positioned to capitalize on renewed consumer demand. And in the company's own financial outlook section: The confirmed launch of Grand Theft Auto VI in November 2026 is expected to be a significant industry event, and major game releases of this scale have historically driven increased gaming engagement and accessory demand. The label on that matters. The quotation is confirmed: those words are in a filed document over a named executive's name. The causal claim inside it, that a competitor's release date will drive accessory demand into Turtle Beach's second half, is Turtle Beach's forecast about its own business, not a finding of ours. We are reporting that a third party has staked reiterated guidance on a date it does not control. We are not endorsing the prediction. For context on the other side of the ledger, and reusing a figure this desk published yesterday rather than presenting it as new: Take-Two's own most recent filing of any kind with the SEC is dated 18 August 2026, and it is three routine director share-ownership forms. No current report on the leak, no change to guidance, nothing. The tape: one session, three volumes, and no data at all for today CONFIRMED. Take-Two closed at $216.68 on 1 September 2026, down $3.02, or 1.375 per cent, from Monday's $219.70. The full session, from Nasdaq as the listing venue: open $217.01, high $219.5399, low $214.14. The close is agreed to the cent by three independent sources. The volume is not. Nasdaq reports 2,802,340 shares, Yahoo's chart API reports 2,761,278, and a third aggregator reports 2,755,732. That is a spread of roughly 47,000 shares, about 1.7 per cent, and the honest way to publish it is to name the venue rather than to pick a number and present it as the number. Across two sessions, the fall is larger. The 28 August close of $235.39 to the 1 September close of $216.68 is $18.71, or 7.95 per cent. The 1 September close sits 18.5 per cent below the 52-week high of $265.94, against a 52-week low of $187.63. There is no 2 September price, and we can show why. At the time of our last fetch it was 23:11 Eastern on 1 September and the US market had not opened. The one-minute chart returns 851 bars, every one of them dated 1 September, running from 08:00 to 23:57 UTC, and both the pre-market and post-market price fields are null. Nasdaq's historical endpoint returns seven rows with 1 September as the newest. The next opening bell was ten hours after we finished. Anyone publishing a 2 September Take-Two price this morning is publishing something that did not exist. Three data traps, printed because we walked up to all three Trap one: the null row. Yahoo's chart API returns null for open, high, low, close and volume on 28 August 2026, in every range we requested. It is not a holiday. The 28th was a Friday and the market traded. It is a hole in that feed. We resolved it against Nasdaq, which returns open $239.00, high $240.54, low $232.15, close $235.39 and volume 3,711,409, matching a third source to the cent and to the share. Left unresolved, that null would have made the two-session arithmetic above impossible to compute honestly. Trap two: the after-hours quote. Post-market bars on 1 September carry 262,306 shares, and every one of those shares printed inside the single closing-cross minute at 20:00 UTC. Every subsequent post-market minute through to 23:57 UTC shows volume zero, while the quoted price drifts on no trades at all from $216.76 up to a last quote of $219.00. That $219.00 is a quote, not a trade. It is exactly the number that gets written up as an after-hours rebound, and nothing changed hands at it. Trap three: a server clock wearing yesterday's date. The United States Patent and Trademark Office's trial and appeal board database prints a line at the foot of its results table reading "Results as of 09/01/2026 11:04 PM". It reads like a data cutoff. It is not. We hit the same URL three times in one session: 03:04:20 UTC, page reads 11:04 PM. 03:15:50 UTC, page reads 11:15 PM. 03:19:38 UTC, page reads 11:19 PM. The line tracks the wall clock minute for minute. It is the current time on the USPTO's own server, rendered in United States Eastern time, and it has nothing to do with when anything was filed. Because it renders Eastern, anyone scraping that page between roughly midnight and 4 a.m. UTC will see yesterday's date printed on a page fetched today. That is precisely how a phantom "1 September trademark filing" gets invented. The reproduction takes ten seconds: load the page twice a few minutes apart and diff the line. The substance behind the trap is another null. There is still no new Take-Two or Rockstar trademark board activity. The newest proceeding involving Take-Two remains one filed on 27 August 2026, concerning a mark unrelated to Grand Theft Auto. A fourth trap, in one line, because it is the same species: the docket mirror we use for court records also prints its refresh times in Eastern, and its own tooltip says that stamp is "not the date of the latest filing in this case". And a quote can be stale in the same way a timestamp can. Discord's widely recirculated statement that it has "not yet been served" is dated 25 August, given by the company's marketing director Ryan K. Rigney and published by PC Gamer under Harvey Randall's byline. It predates Take-Two's second Discord request entirely. The causation hedge, which is not optional A price move is a fact. Its cause is inference. We are not asserting that the leak, the subpoenas, the withdrawal or any other single event moved this stock, and no sentence in this article should be read that way. What can be observed: volume on 31 August was roughly 6.85 million shares, about two and a half times the 1 September figure and well above the month's usual range of 1.6 to 4.2 million. That is an observation about participation. It identifies nothing about why. Two framings in circulation that we are flagging rather than repeating. One aggregator described 31 August as "$2.9 billion market value lost"; we have not verified the share count behind that figure and the causal framing is theirs. And at least one summary rendered the move as a "6.7% decline in premarket trade on September 1", which is wrong: the 6.67 per cent fall was the regular session of 31 August. Analyst targets are circulating too, clustering around the high $280s and low $300s from several banks. Every one of those reaches us through an aggregator rather than through a note we have read, so they carry a REPORTED label and nothing stronger. One last frame, since this article sits next to our court coverage. Take-Two has still not sued anybody over the Grand Theft Auto VI leak. There is no complaint and no named defendant on any docket. The four proceedings in New York are ex parte identity-disclosure applications, granted means the clerk will issue a subpoena and nothing more, withdrawn is not denied, and the companies receiving those subpoenas are records custodians rather than parties. None of that has changed while the stock moved, and none of it is on file with the SEC. What is and is not established CONFIRMED: 42 documents in the SEC's full-text index have ever named "Grand Theft Auto VI". Take-Two 31, Turtle Beach 8, Corsair Gaming 1, and two fund shareholder reports from January 2018. The index covers 2001 onward. CONFIRMED: no filer of any kind has named the game in an SEC filing since 7 August 2026, a gap of 26 days, and Take-Two's own newest filing of any type is dated 18 August 2026. CONFIRMED as a quotation: Turtle Beach's chief executive named the November launch while reiterating full-year guidance of $335 million to $355 million in net revenue and $44 million to $48 million in adjusted EBITDA. The forecast inside that quotation is Turtle Beach's, not ours. CONFIRMED: the 1 September close of $216.68, down 1.375 per cent, and the two-session fall of $18.71 or 7.95 per cent from the 28 August close of $235.39. The close agrees across three sources; the volume does not, at 2,802,340, 2,761,278 and 2,755,732. CONFIRMED as a data-quality finding: the 28 August row is null in one major feed and was resolved against the listing exchange, matching a third source to the cent and the share. CONFIRMED: the $219.00 after-hours figure is a quote on zero volume, not a trade. All 262,306 post-market shares printed in the single closing-cross minute. CONFIRMED, reproduced three times in one session: the trademark database's "Results as of" line is a server clock in Eastern time, not a filing date. Explicitly not claimed: any cause for the share price move. A price move is a fact and its cause is inference. Explicitly not claimed: any 2 September price. The market had not opened, and we can demonstrate the absence rather than assume it. REPORTED, and unverified by us: the market-value figure attributed to one aggregator, and every analyst price target in circulation. Legal frame, unchanged: Take-Two has sued nobody, there is no complaint and no named defendant, granted means the clerk issues the subpoena and nothing more, withdrawn is not denied, and the recipients are not defendants. Our running record of what Take-Two and Rockstar have actually put on paper is on the wiki, alongside the rest of today's filings work on the news desk. If none of this is why you came, the servers list and the leaderboards are a better way through the next 78 days.
