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

Take-Two Interactive Reiterates Fall 2025 Release 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 came during their third-quarter financial report (ending December 31, 2024).

While acknowledging the inherent risk of delays, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed confidence in the fall 2025 timeframe, emphasizing Rockstar's dedication to quality. He highlighted the game's high anticipation and the company's commitment to excellence, stating that "arrogance is the enemy of continued success."

Zelnick remained tight-lipped regarding specific development updates, only reiterating the game's high internal and external anticipation. The upcoming release has significantly impacted industry planning, with competitors like EA considering potential delays to their own titles, a clear indication of GTA 6's anticipated dominance.

The absence of a second trailer, over a year after the initial reveal, continues to fuel fan speculation. Other points of ongoing discussion include the potential PC release and the game's performance on a hypothetical PS5 Pro console.

Meanwhile, Take-Two reported impressive sales figures for 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 exceeded 70 million copies sold, currently boasting record concurrent players on Steam.
