Grand Theft Auto 6 remains firmly scheduled for a fall 2025 release, as confirmed by its parent company, Take-Two Interactive. In the company's third-quarter financial report ending December 31, 2024, GTA 6 was listed for release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, maintaining its previously announced launch window without any delays.

In a conversation with IGN prior to the financial report's release, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick acknowledged the inherent risks in game development, stating, "There's always a risk of slippage," but expressed confidence in meeting the fall 2025 target. "So we feel really good about it," he added, careful not to jinx the project with overconfidence.

Zelnick remained tight-lipped about the specifics of GTA 6's development, emphasizing the anticipation surrounding the game. "We know that Rockstar seeks perfection," he remarked, underlining the studio's dedication to quality while acknowledging the competitive landscape of the gaming industry.

The release date of GTA 6 continues to captivate the entertainment world, with other publishers keenly monitoring Rockstar's moves. EA CEO Andrew Wilson recently hinted at potentially delaying the next Battlefield game depending on GTA 6's release timing, showcasing the significant impact GTA 6 is expected to have on the market.

While the release window for GTA 6 holds steady, fans are still eagerly awaiting the second trailer, which has yet to be released over a year after the first. This delay has fueled much speculation and anticipation among the community.

Take-Two also reported on the continued success of other titles in their portfolio.

GTA+ memberships saw a 10% year-over-year increase. Meanwhile, Red Dead Redemption 2 has sold over 70 million copies, currently boasting the highest level of concurrent players on Steam.

Take-Two's 2025 lineup is packed with high-profile releases including Civilization 7, PGA Tour 2K25, WWE 2K25, Mafia: The Old Country, GTA 6, and Borderlands 4. The company remains highly optimistic about the commercial potential of these titles, believing they will significantly impact both their business and the broader gaming industry in the coming years.
