GTA 6 Set for Fall 2025 Release, CEO Confirms

Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has reaffirmed that *Grand Theft Auto 6* (GTA 6) is on track for a fall 2025 release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. This confirmation came as part of the company's financial results report for the third quarter ending December 31, 2024, signaling no delays at this stage.

In a conversation with IGN prior to the financial report's release, Take-Two's CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed confidence in meeting the fall 2025 deadline for GTA 6, despite acknowledging the inherent risks of project slippage. "Look, there's always a risk of slippage and I think as soon as you say words like absolutely, you jinx things," Zelnick noted. "So we feel really good about it."

When asked about the development progress of GTA 6, Zelnick remained cautious, highlighting the anticipation surrounding the game both within the company and among fans. "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," he stated.

The release date of GTA 6 is a highly anticipated event in the entertainment industry, with competitors closely monitoring Rockstar's moves. EA CEO Andrew Wilson recently hinted at adjusting the release schedule of the new *Battlefield* game based on the timing of other major releases, likely referring to GTA 6.

While the release window for GTA 6 remains unchanged, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Trailer 2. Over a year has passed since the first trailer dropped, fueling speculation and excitement. In the meantime, IGN offers extensive coverage on GTA 6, including insights from a former Rockstar developer suggesting that a decision on potential delays might not be made until May 2025, Zelnick's evasive comments on a possible PC release, and expert analysis on whether the PS5 Pro can run GTA 6 at 60 frames per second.

Take-Two also reported significant milestones for other titles. *Grand Theft Auto 5* has now sold-in 210 million units worldwide, with *GTA Online* experiencing a strong quarter driven by the "Agents of Sabotage" update. GTA+ memberships saw a 10% year-over-year increase. Meanwhile, *Red Dead Redemption 2* has surpassed 70 million units sold, with the game currently enjoying its highest level of concurrent players on Steam.

Looking ahead to 2025, Take-Two has a packed release schedule, including *Civilization 7* from Firaxis, *PGA Tour 2K25* and *WWE 2K25* in March, *Mafia: The Old Country* in the summer, *GTA 6* in the fall, and *Borderlands 4* from Gearbox before the year's end. The company remains optimistic about the commercial potential of these titles, expecting them to have a transformative impact on both their business and the industry in the long term. Take-Two is confident in achieving record levels of Net Bookings in fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
