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 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This confirmation comes following their third-quarter 2024 financial report.
While Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick acknowledges the inherent risk of delays in game development, he expressed confidence in the fall 2025 timeframe, stating that the company feels "really good about it." He emphasized Rockstar's dedication to achieving perfection, highlighting the high anticipation surrounding the game's release.
Zelnick remained tight-lipped regarding the game's development progress, offering only that the game is highly anticipated both internally and externally, and that Rockstar's pursuit of perfection keeps the team on their toes.
The GTA 6 release date continues to dominate industry conversations, influencing the release strategies of competitors. EA CEO Andrew Wilson recently indicated a willingness to delay the next Battlefield installment, suggesting the impact of GTA 6's release timing.
The absence of a second trailer, over a year after the first, fuels ongoing fan speculation. Meanwhile, other discussions swirl around potential PC release, and the game's performance on a hypothetical PS5 Pro console.
Take-Two also reported impressive sales figures for its other titles: Grand Theft Auto 5 has surpassed 210 million units sold globally, GTA Online experienced a strong quarter, and Red Dead Redemption 2 has exceeded 70 million copies sold, boasting record concurrent players on Steam.
Take-Two's optimistic outlook extends beyond GTA 6, with a robust 2025 lineup including Civilization 7, PGA Tour 2K25, WWE 2K25, Mafia: The Old Country, and Borderlands 4. The company projects record-breaking net bookings for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
