Rockstar Games’ parent company Take-Two Interactive stated close to a year ago that Grand Theft Auto 6 would launch sometime in Fall of 2025.
Given Rockstar’s remarkably consistent knack for delaying games, however, there are many who have been (and continue to be) skeptical about whether the long-awaited open world crime epic will actually release this year.
Take-Two, for its part, continues to insist that it will. The company has stressed time and again that Grand Theft Auto 6 is indeed on track for a Fall 2025 release, and during Take-Two’s recent quarterly fiscal meeting, the same was reiterated.
In its quarterly report, the company lists Grand Theft Auto 6’s release date as “Fall of calendar 2025”. Meanwhile, during an earnings call, CEO Strauss Zelnick reiterated that calendar year 2025 will be “an inflection point” for Take-Two, in large part due to the release of GTA 6. “We are forecasting Calendar Year 2025 to be an inflection point for Take-Two – from the groundbreaking release of Grand Theft Auto 6 to the unmatched pipeline that 2K is set to deliver,” he said. “As we introduce hit products to our passionate communities of fans, we are confident that we will usher in a new period of growth and returns for our shareholders.” In addition to Grand Theft Auto 6, Take-Two is also expecting the launch of Civilization 7, Borderlands 4, and Mafia: The Old Country this year.
