Take-Two Interactive Re-affirms Fall 2025 Release Window 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, following its third-quarter 2024 financial report. While acknowledging the inherent risk of delays, CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed confidence in the projected release window.

In an interview with IGN, Zelnick stated that while slippage is always a possibility, Take-Two is "really good" about the Fall 2025 target. He emphasized the company's focus on quality, stating Rockstar aims for perfection and that the team is working diligently amidst competitive pressures.

The anticipated release of GTA 6 has generated significant industry buzz, with competitors like EA openly considering delays to their own projects based on Rockstar's release timing.

The lack of a second trailer, over a year after the first, continues to fuel fan speculation. Further fueling the anticipation, IGN highlights several related discussions, including an ex-Rockstar developer's prediction about a potential delay announcement in May 2025, Zelnick's ambiguous response regarding a PC release, and expert analysis on the PS5 Pro's potential to run GTA 6 at 60 frames per second.

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

Take-Two's 2025 release slate is robust, including Civilization 7, PGA Tour 2K25, WWE 2K25, Mafia: The Old Country, and Borderlands 4, alongside the highly anticipated GTA 6. The company expressed strong confidence in the commercial success of its upcoming titles and predicted record-breaking net bookings in fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
