GTA 6 Fall 2025 Release Date Window Seems Likelier and Likelier

Take-Two Interactive, the publisher behind Grand Theft Auto VI, is increasingly confident in a Fall 2025 release window. This follows a strong financial performance and several successful game launches. Let's dive into the details.

Take-Two Interactive: A Strong Year Ahead

GTA 6: Still Aiming for Fall 2025

During their Q3 2025 earnings call, Take-Two Interactive reaffirmed their target of releasing Grand Theft Auto VI in Fall 2025. CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed confidence, while acknowledging the inherent risks in predicting release dates: "Look, there's always a risk of slippage..." He emphasized the company's commitment to quality, stating, "We know that Rockstar seeks perfection." While remaining tight-lipped on specifics, Zelnick conveyed a positive outlook.

Take-Two's 2025 Game Lineup

Zelnick highlighted 2025 as a pivotal year for Take-Two, with a robust release schedule including Sid Meier’s Civilization VII (Early Access launched February 7th, full launch February 11th), Mafia: The Old Country (Summer release), Grand Theft Auto VI (Fall release), and Borderlands 4 (before year-end). He expressed significant optimism about the commercial potential of these titles. The company projects record-level net bookings in fiscal years 2026 and 2027.

Continued Success for Existing Franchises

The Grand Theft Auto franchise continues to dominate, with GTA V surpassing 210 million units sold worldwide. GTA Online also saw impressive growth, particularly with the "Agents of Sabotage" holiday update and the continued success of GTA+. Other titles also performed exceptionally well: NBA 2K25 sold over 7 million units, and Red Dead Redemption 2 exceeded 70 million units sold, enjoying a surge in concurrent players on Steam.

Addressing Rumors about GTA V's Trevor

Rumors suggesting Steven Ogg, the actor who portrayed Trevor in GTA V, disliked the role have been addressed. In an interview, Ogg clarified that he doesn't hate the character, but simply prefers not to be called Trevor outside of work. He expressed fondness for the character and his co-stars. While he's previously speculated on Trevor's potential return (and demise) in GTA VI, he confirmed he's not currently involved in the game's production.

Grand Theft Auto VI remains slated for a Fall 2025 release, though a precise date is yet to be announced. Stay tuned for updates!
