Anthropic could begin stock-market trading on the same day Grand Theft Auto VI reaches consoles, putting a possible AI investing milestone alongside one of gaming’s most anticipated releases on November 19.
The Wall Street Journal reported on November 9 that Anthropic was aiming for November 19 or 20. The company has not confirmed its first trading day, so a shared launch date remains a possibility.
Rockstar Games has confirmed November 19, 2026, for GTA VI on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Its return to Vice City therefore has a firm scheduled date as Anthropic prepares its offering.
Anthropic launched its investor roadshow on November 10, proposing 825 million shares at $70 to $78 each. It has applied to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under ANT; the registration statement has not yet become effective.
For Take-Two Interactive, the game is a major commercial launch: management said preorders were well above its initial expectations. Take-Two’s outlook calls for companywide net bookings of $3.35 billion to $3.5 billion in the quarter that includes GTA VI’s launch.
