Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) remains on schedule for an autumn 2025 release, Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has confirmed. The announcement came during their third-quarter financial report (ending December 31, 2024), which listed GTA 6's launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in fall 2025. This suggests no further delays to the previously announced release window.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick acknowledged the inherent risk of delays in game development, stating to IGN that while slippage is always a possibility, the company is confident in the fall 2025 target. He emphasized Rockstar's dedication to perfection and the intense competition within the gaming industry.
While Zelnick remained tight-lipped about the game's development progress, he highlighted the considerable anticipation surrounding GTA 6 both internally and externally. The game's release date is a major topic in the entertainment industry, with competitors like EA's Andrew Wilson even considering delaying the next Battlefield title based on GTA 6's release timing.
