GTA 6 Fall 2025 Release Date Window Seems Likelier and Likelier

Take-Two Interactive, the publisher behind the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), remains confident in a Fall 2025 release. This follows their recent Q3 earnings call, offering insights into the game's development and the company's overall strong performance.

Take-Two's Strong Financial Outlook

GTA 6: Still Targeting Fall 2025 Launch

While Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed optimism about the Fall 2025 release window for GTA 6, he acknowledged the inherent risks in predicting release dates. He emphasized Rockstar's dedication to quality, stating their commitment to delivering a polished product. While he refrained from specific details on development progress, he conveyed the company's excitement and awareness of the competitive landscape.

Take-Two's Packed 2025 Release Schedule

Zelnick highlighted 2025 as a pivotal year for Take-Two, with several major releases planned. These include the early access and subsequent launch of Sid Meier’s Civilization VII, Mafia: The Old Country (Summer release), GTA 6 (Fall release), and Borderlands 4 (before year-end). He expressed strong confidence in the commercial success of these titles. The company projects record-breaking net bookings for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.

Continued Success of Existing Franchises

The enduring popularity of the GTA franchise is undeniable, with GTA 5 surpassing 210 million units sold globally. GTA Online continues to thrive, boosted by the "Agents of Sabotage" update and the ongoing success of GTA+. Other key titles also performed exceptionally well: NBA 2K25 exceeded 7 million units sold, demonstrating strong player engagement, while Red Dead Redemption 2 has now sold over 70 million units and enjoys record concurrent players on Steam.

Dispelling Rumors about GTA 5's Trevor

Addressing persistent rumors, Steven Ogg, the actor portraying Trevor in GTA 5, clarified that he doesn't harbor any animosity towards the character. He simply prefers not to be addressed by the character's name. He confirmed his friendship with the actors portraying Franklin and Michael and even hinted at a possible Comic-Con appearance. While Ogg previously speculated about Trevor's potential (and demise) in GTA 6, he confirmed he hasn't been involved in any recording for the upcoming game.

In summary, while a precise release date remains unannounced, Take-Two Interactive's confidence and the continued success of their other titles strongly suggest a Fall 2025 release for GTA 6 is increasingly likely. Stay tuned for further updates.
