GTA 6 Fall 2025 Release Rumors Gain Momentum

Take-Two Interactive, the publisher behind the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), remains confident in a Fall 2025 release window. This optimistic outlook was shared during their Q3 Earnings Conference Call, fueling anticipation among fans.

Take-Two's Strong Year and GTA 6's Projected Launch

While Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed confidence in the Fall 2025 timeframe, he acknowledged the inherent risks in development timelines, stating that unforeseen delays are always a possibility. Nevertheless, he conveyed significant optimism regarding the project's progress. He highlighted Rockstar Games' dedication to excellence and the intense competitive landscape, emphasizing the company's commitment to delivering a top-tier product.

Take-Two's 2025 Game Lineup

Zelnick highlighted 2025 as a pivotal year for Take-Two, with several major releases planned. Beyond GTA 6's anticipated Fall launch, the company is releasing Sid Meier’s Civilization VII (already in Early Access), Mafia: The Old Country (Summer release), and Borderlands 4 (before year-end). Zelnick expressed strong belief in the commercial success of these titles. The company projects record-breaking net bookings in fiscal years 2026 and 2027.

Continued Success of Existing Franchises

The Grand Theft Auto franchise continues to dominate, with GTA V surpassing 210 million units sold globally. GTA Online also saw remarkable success, particularly with the "Agents of Sabotage" holiday update and continued growth of the GTA+ membership program. Other titles, such as NBA 2K25 (over 7 million units sold) and Red Dead Redemption 2 (over 70 million units sold), also demonstrated strong performance and player engagement. Red Dead Redemption 2 is currently experiencing record concurrent player numbers on Steam.

Addressing Fan Speculation About GTA 5's Trevor

Rumors surrounding Steven Ogg, the actor who portrayed Trevor in GTA V, disliking his character have been addressed. In an interview, Ogg clarified that he doesn't dislike the character; he simply prefers not to be called by the character's name outside of his professional work. He maintains positive relationships with his fellow GTA V cast members. While he previously speculated about Trevor's potential (and demise) in GTA 6, he confirmed he hasn't been involved in its development.

Conclusion

While a precise release date for GTA 6 remains unannounced, Take-Two Interactive's continued confidence in a Fall 2025 launch, coupled with the success of its other titles, creates significant excitement for the game's arrival. Stay tuned for further updates.
