Grand Theft Auto 6 is still on track for a Fall 2025 release, according to Take-Two Interactive, its parent company. The announcement, made during their third-quarter financial report (ending December 31, 2024), confirmed the game's planned launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. While acknowledging the inherent risk of delays, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed confidence in the Fall 2025 timeframe. He emphasized Rockstar Games' dedication to perfection and the intense anticipation surrounding the game's release, both internally and externally. He remained tight-lipped regarding specific development details.
The GTA 6 release date continues to dominate headlines, influencing the strategies of competitors. EA CEO Andrew Wilson recently indicated a willingness to delay the next Battlefield game, hinting at the significant impact GTA 6's release will have on the market.
