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

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

Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games' parent company, has reaffirmed its commitment to a Fall 2025 release window for Grand Theft Auto 6 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This confirmation comes following the company's third-quarter financial report ending December 31, 2024.

While acknowledging the inherent risk of delays in game development, CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed confidence in the Fall 2025 target, stating that Take-Two "feel[s] really good about it." He emphasized Rockstar's dedication to achieving perfection, highlighting the anticipation surrounding the game both internally and externally. Zelnick remained tight-lipped regarding specific development updates.

The GTA 6 release date continues to be a major topic in the gaming industry, influencing the release strategies of competitors. EA CEO Andrew Wilson recently indicated a willingness to delay the next Battlefield game, suggesting the impact of GTA 6's anticipated launch.

The absence of a second trailer for GTA 6, over a year after the first, fuels ongoing fan speculation. IGN provides further analysis on various GTA 6-related topics, including an ex-Rockstar developer's prediction about a potential delay announcement in May 2025, Zelnick's comments on a possible PC release, and expert opinions on the game's performance on a hypothetical PS5 Pro.

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

Take-Two's 2025 release slate is packed, featuring Civilization VII, PGA Tour 2K25, WWE 2K25, Mafia: The Old Country, GTA 6, and Borderlands 4. The company expressed strong optimism about the commercial performance of its upcoming titles.
