GTA 6 Fall 2025 Release Date Window Seems Likelier and Likelier

Take-Two Interactive, the publisher behind Grand Theft Auto, projects a strong fiscal year, largely fueled by anticipated releases. Their confidence in a Fall 2025 launch for GTA 6 is high, although CEO Strauss Zelnick acknowledges the inherent risks of development delays. While he refrains from concrete statements, Zelnick expresses optimism about the game's progress and the overall company outlook. He highlights Rockstar's dedication to quality, emphasizing the competitive landscape and the company's excitement for the upcoming release.

Take-Two's 2025 Release Slate:

Take-Two's 2025 lineup is ambitious, including the already-released Sid Meier’s Civilization VII (Early Access), the upcoming Mafia: The Old Country (Summer release), Grand Theft Auto VI (Fall release), and Borderlands 4 (before year-end). Zelnick anticipates these titles will significantly impact both the company and the gaming industry. Take-Two projects record-breaking net bookings for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.

Continued Success of Existing Franchises:

The enduring popularity of GTA 5 is undeniable, with over 210 million units sold globally. GTA Online continues to thrive, boosted by the "Agents of Sabotage" update and the growth of the GTA+ subscription service. Other Take-Two titles also performed exceptionally well: NBA 2K25 surpassed 7 million units sold, demonstrating strong player engagement, and Red Dead Redemption 2 exceeded 70 million units sold, experiencing a surge in concurrent players on Steam.

Addressing Fan Speculation:

Rumors surrounding Steven Ogg (Trevor from GTA 5) and his alleged dislike for the character have been addressed. Ogg clarified that he doesn't dislike the character, but prefers not to be called by his character's name. He maintains a positive relationship with his co-stars. While he previously speculated about Trevor's potential (and demise) in GTA 6, he confirms no involvement in the game's development at this time.

While a Fall 2025 release is anticipated for GTA 6, a precise release date remains unannounced. Stay tuned for further updates.
