"GTA 6 Set for Fall 2025 Release, CEO Confirms"

Grand Theft Auto 6 remains firmly scheduled for a fall 2025 release, as confirmed by its parent company, Take-Two. In their third-quarter financial results ending December 31, 2024, Take-Two reiterated that GTA 6 will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, signaling that the game is still on track for its previously announced window without any delays.

In a conversation with IGN before the financial report's release, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed cautious optimism about the fall 2025 target. "Look, there's always a risk of slippage and I think as soon as you say words like absolutely, you jinx things," Zelnick said. "So we feel really good about it." When pressed for details on GTA 6's development progress, Zelnick remained reserved, noting, "Look, I think the game is eagerly anticipated both internally and externally. We know that Rockstar seeks perfection. I never claim success before it occurs. I'm fond of saying arrogance is the enemy of continued success, so we're all running scared and looking over our shoulders and we know that the competition is not asleep. Our whole organization is super excited."

The anticipation surrounding GTA 6's release date is palpable across the entertainment industry, with competitors like EA closely monitoring Rockstar's moves. EA CEO Andrew Wilson recently indicated a willingness to adjust the release of the new Battlefield game based on GTA 6's timing, acknowledging the significant impact GTA 6 is expected to have on the market.

In other news, Take-Two highlighted the continued success of their other titles. Grand Theft Auto 5 has now sold an astounding 210 million units worldwide, with GTA Online enjoying a strong quarter thanks to the Agents of Sabotage update. GTA+ memberships saw a 10% year-over-year increase during the quarter. Additionally, Red Dead Redemption 2 has surpassed 70 million in sales, with Take-Two noting the highest level of concurrent players on Steam for the game.

Take-Two has a packed schedule for 2025, with recent releases like Civilization 7 from Firaxis, PGA Tour 2K25, and WWE 2K25 in March, followed by Mafia: The Old Country in the summer, GTA 6 in the fall, and Gearbox's Borderlands 4 before the year ends. "We are exceedingly optimistic about the commercial potential of our titles and believe that they will have a transformative effect on our business – and our industry – over the long term," Take-Two stated, expressing high confidence in achieving record levels of Net Bookings in fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
