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

Take-Two Interactive Re-affirms 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 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. He emphasized Rockstar's dedication to quality, stating the company strives for perfection and is acutely aware of the competitive landscape.

Zelnick remained tight-lipped regarding specific development details, only reiterating the game's high anticipation both internally and externally. The release date itself continues to dominate entertainment headlines, with competitors like EA openly acknowledging its potential impact on their release schedules.

The lack of a second trailer, over a year after the initial reveal, fuels ongoing fan speculation. However, Take-Two's statement suggests the release window remains unchanged for now. Additional information surrounding GTA 6's potential PC release and PS5 Pro performance remains unconfirmed.

Take-Two also highlighted the continued success of its other titles: Grand Theft Auto 5 has surpassed 210 million units sold globally, GTA Online saw a strong quarter, and Red Dead Redemption 2 has exceeded 70 million units sold, currently boasting record concurrent players on Steam.

A poll included in the article asks readers if they would purchase a PS5 Pro solely to play GTA 6 at maximum settings.

Take-Two anticipates a busy 2025, with several high-profile releases including Civilization VII, PGA Tour 2K25, WWE 2K25, Mafia: The Old Country, and Borderlands 4, alongside the highly anticipated GTA 6. The company expressed strong confidence in the commercial success of its upcoming releases and projects record-breaking net bookings for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
