GTA 6 Release: Fall 2025 Confirmed

Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) remains on track for a Fall 2025 release, Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games' parent company, has confirmed. This confirmation came during their third-quarter financial report (ending December 31, 2024), which listed GTA 6 for release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S that autumn.

While Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick acknowledged the inherent risk of delays in game development, he expressed confidence in the Fall 2025 timeframe, stating that the company "feel[s] really good about it." He emphasized Rockstar's dedication to quality, mentioning their pursuit of "perfection."

The upcoming release of GTA 6 is generating significant industry buzz. EA CEO Andrew Wilson recently hinted at potential Battlefield delays contingent on competitor release schedules, a clear reference to the anticipated impact of GTA 6.

The lack of a second trailer, over a year after the first, fuels ongoing fan speculation. Other points of discussion include an ex-Rockstar developer's prediction that a final delay decision might not happen until May 2025, uncertainty surrounding a PC release, and the potential for 60fps 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 globally, while GTA Online experienced a strong quarter driven by the "Agents of Sabotage" update, and GTA+ memberships saw a 10% year-over-year increase. Red Dead Redemption 2 has sold over 70 million copies and is currently experiencing record concurrent player numbers on Steam.

Take-Two's optimistic outlook for 2025 includes several high-profile releases: Civilization 7 (already released), PGA Tour 2K25 and WWE 2K25 (March), Mafia: The Old Country (Summer), GTA 6 (Fall), and Borderlands 4 (before year-end). The company projects record-level net bookings for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
