Take-Two CEO Confirms GTA 6 Fall 2025 Launch

Grand Theft Auto 6 Remains On Track For Fall 2025 Launch, Take-Two Confirms

Take-Two Interactive reaffirmed its commitment to releasing Grand Theft Auto 6 in fall 2025 during its latest quarterly financial report covering October-December 2024. The publisher's official filings list Rockstar's highly anticipated title for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms, indicating development remains on schedule - at least for now.

In conversations with IGN ahead of the financial disclosure, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed cautious optimism about hitting the projected timeframe: "We're feeling really positive about fall 2025, though I'll never say 'absolutely' guaranteed - that would be tempting fate," the executive remarked with characteristic pragmatism. "Game development always carries inherent scheduling risks."

Zelnick remained tight-lipped when pressed for developmental updates, though his comments hinted at Rockstar's renowned perfectionism: "Everyone understands the tremendous anticipation surrounding this project, both within our studios and externally. Rockstar maintains exceptionally high standards - we prefer letting our work speak for itself rather than premature declarations."

The gaming industry continues holding its collective breath for GTA 6's arrival, with ripple effects extending across competitors' strategies. Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson recently hinted at potential Battlefield scheduling adjustments based on Rockstar's plans - underscoring GTA 6's market-moving influence.

While Take-Two maintains confidence in its release window, fans eagerly await GTA 6's second trailer - now over twelve months since the initial reveal. This prolonged silence fuels rampant speculation within the community.

Meanwhile, Rockstar's existing catalogue continues delivering impressive numbers: Grand Theft Auto V has surpassed an astonishing 210 million units shipped, while Red Dead Redemption 2 exceeds 70 million copies with record concurrent players on Steam.

Looking toward FY2025, Take-Two anticipates transformative growth with Civilization VII's imminent launch, sports titles PGA Tour 2K25/WWE 2K25 arriving March, Mafia: The Old Country this summer, Borderlands 4 holiday season - and of course, Rockstar's blockbuster closing the calendar year.

"We maintain unwavering confidence in our pipeline's commercial potential," the company stated. "These releases position us for record performance throughout fiscal 2026-2027."
