Take-Two Interactive Reiterates Fall 2025 Release Window for Grand Theft Auto 6
Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games' parent company, has reaffirmed its commitment to a Fall 2025 release for Grand Theft Auto 6 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This confirmation comes following their third-quarter financial report ending December 31, 2024. While acknowledging the inherent risk of delays, CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed confidence in the targeted release window.
Zelnick, in an interview with IGN, stated that while slippage is always a possibility, Take-Two feels positive about the Fall 2025 launch. He emphasized the company's focus on quality, stating Rockstar's dedication to achieving perfection. He also highlighted the intense anticipation surrounding GTA 6 both internally and externally.
The upcoming release of GTA 6 has significantly impacted the industry. EA CEO Andrew Wilson recently indicated a potential delay for the next Battlefield game, subtly referencing the anticipated impact of GTA 6's release on the market.
The absence of a second trailer, over a year after the first, continues to fuel speculation among fans. IGN provides further analysis on various aspects of GTA 6, including an ex-Rockstar developer's prediction that a final decision on potential delays might not be made until May 2025, Zelnick's ambiguous response regarding a PC release, and expert opinions on the PS5 Pro's potential performance with the game.
