Gaming giant Take-Two Interactive has announced the sale of its publishing label "Private Division" to an undisclosed buyer. The announcement came as part of the company's second-quarter fiscal 2025 financial report, which highlighted strong performance across its significant franchises. Private Division, known for publishing innovative titles such as OlliOlli World and the recently released No Rest for the Wicked, will transition to new ownership while Take-Two retains control of the label's existing and upcoming game portfolio. In a strategic decision, Take-Two has acquired "substantially all of Private Division's live and unreleased titles," ensuring continuity for games currently in development or receiving ongoing support.

The company's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, reported impressive financial results for the quarter, with Net Bookings reaching $1.47 billion, hitting the upper end of their guidance range. This success was primarily driven by the continued strong performance of the Grand Theft Auto and Borderlands franchises, despite the underwhelming box office performance of the recent Borderlands film adaptation. Take-Two has maintained its ambitious financial outlook, projecting Net Bookings between $5.55 and $5.65 billion for fiscal year 2025. The company's upcoming release slate includes several high-profile titles, with Civilization VII and WWE 2K25 in development. However, the most anticipated release remains Grand Theft Auto VI, scheduled for Fall 2025, which has maintained a low profile since its reveal trailer earlier this year.
