GTA 6 Release Date Still Set for Fall 2025, Take-Two CEO Insists — 'We Feel Really Good About It'

Take-Two Interactive Reiterates Fall 2025 Release Window for Grand Theft Auto 6

Despite industry speculation, Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games' parent company, maintains its projected fall 2025 release date for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This confirmation came during their third-quarter financial report (ending December 31, 2024).

While acknowledging the inherent risk of delays, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed confidence in the fall 2025 timeframe, stating that the company "feels really good about it." He emphasized Rockstar's dedication to quality, highlighting the game's high anticipation and the company's commitment to excellence. Zelnick remained tight-lipped regarding specific development updates, emphasizing the competitive landscape and Rockstar's pursuit of perfection.

The GTA 6 release date remains a significant event in the gaming industry, influencing the release strategies of competitors. EA CEO Andrew Wilson recently indicated a potential Battlefield delay, suggesting the impact of GTA 6's release timing.

The absence of a second trailer, over a year after the initial reveal, continues to fuel fan speculation. However, Take-Two's financial report also included positive news regarding other Rockstar titles:

• Grand Theft Auto 5: Has achieved incredible sales figures, surpassing 210 million units sold worldwide.
• GTA Online: Experienced a strong quarter, boosted by the "Agents of Sabotage" update, and saw a 10% year-over-year increase in GTA+ memberships.
• Red Dead Redemption 2: Has sold over 70 million copies and is currently experiencing record concurrent players on Steam.

Take-Two's upcoming 2025 release slate is packed, including Civilization 7, PGA Tour 2K25, WWE 2K25, Mafia: The Old Country, and Borderlands 4, alongside the anticipated GTA 6. The company expressed strong optimism about the commercial success of its portfolio and projected record-level net bookings in fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
