Take-Two Interactive Re-affirms Fall 2025 Release for Grand Theft Auto 6

Take-Two, Rockstar Games' parent company, has reiterated its commitment to a Fall 2025 release for Grand Theft Auto 6 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This confirmation comes following their third-quarter financial report (ending December 31, 2024). While acknowledging the inherent risk of delays, CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed confidence in the targeted release window.

In an interview with IGN, Zelnick emphasized Rockstar's dedication to perfection, stating that the company "feel[s] really good about it [Fall 2025]." He also highlighted the game's high anticipation both internally and externally, while remaining cautious about prematurely declaring success.

The GTA 6 release date remains a significant event in the gaming industry, influencing the release strategies of competitors. EA CEO Andrew Wilson recently indicated a potential delay for the next Battlefield game, hinting at the impact of GTA 6's release timing.

Despite the confirmed release window, the highly anticipated second trailer for GTA 6 is yet to be released, fueling much speculation among fans. IGN offers further analysis on various GTA 6 related topics, including an ex-Rockstar developer's prediction about a potential delay announcement in May 2025, Zelnick's comments regarding a PC release, and expert opinions on the PS5 Pro's potential performance with the game.

Take-Two also highlighted the continued success of its other titles: Grand Theft Auto 5 has surpassed 210 million units sold worldwide, GTA Online saw a strong quarter, and Red Dead Redemption 2 has sold over 70 million copies, currently boasting its highest concurrent player count on Steam.
