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

Take-Two Interactive has reaffirmed its commitment to a Fall 2025 release for Grand Theft Auto 6 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This confirmation comes during their third-quarter financial report ending December 31, 2024. While acknowledging the inherent risk of delays, CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed confidence in the fall 2025 window, stating that the company "feel[s] really good about it." He emphasized Rockstar's dedication to perfection and the intense competition within the gaming industry.

The anticipation surrounding GTA 6's release is immense, impacting the strategies of rival publishers. EA CEO Andrew Wilson recently hinted at potential Battlefield delays contingent on competitor release dates, a clear reference to GTA 6's considerable influence.

Despite the confirmed release window, a highly anticipated second trailer remains absent, over a year after the first. This silence fuels considerable fan speculation. IGN offers further insights into GTA 6, including commentary from an ex-Rockstar developer on potential delay announcements and Zelnick's cautious responses regarding a PC release and the game's performance on a hypothetical PS5 Pro.

Take-Two also highlighted the continued success of Grand Theft Auto 5, boasting over 210 million units sold worldwide. GTA Online showed strong performance, driven by the Agents of Sabotage update and a 10% year-over-year increase in GTA+ memberships. Red Dead Redemption 2 has surpassed 70 million units sold and is experiencing record concurrent players on Steam.

Take-Two's 2025 release slate is packed, including the recently launched Civilization 7, PGA Tour 2K25 and WWE 2K25 in March, Mafia: The Old Country in the summer, GTA 6 in the fall, and Borderlands 4 before year-end. The company expressed strong optimism regarding the commercial success of its upcoming titles and projected record-level net bookings for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
