Take-Two has reaffirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 remains on track for its planned fall 2025 release.
In its latest financial report for the third quarter ending December 31, 2024, the parent company of Rockstar Games listed GTA 6 as scheduled for launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This confirms that, at least for now, the highly anticipated title has not been delayed from its previously announced release window.
Speaking to IGN ahead of the financial report, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick acknowledged the possibility of delays but expressed confidence in the timeline.
“There’s always a risk of slippage,” Zelnick admitted. “But we feel really good about [fall 2025].”
When asked how confident he was in Rockstar’s ability to meet the deadline, Zelnick remained cautious. “The moment you say something is absolutely certain, you risk jinxing it,” he said. “So we feel really good about it.”
Regarding the game’s development, Zelnick was tight-lipped but emphasized Rockstar’s high standards.
“The anticipation for this game—both internally and externally—is immense,” he said. “Rockstar strives for perfection, and I never assume success before it happens. Arrogance is the enemy of continued success, so we stay on our toes, knowing the competition isn’t resting. The entire organization is incredibly excited.”
The release date of GTA 6 is one of the most closely watched topics in entertainment. Even rival publishers are carefully monitoring Rockstar’s plans. Earlier this week, EA CEO Andrew Wilson hinted at potentially delaying the next Battlefield game depending on the release timing of major competitors—an apparent nod to the juggernaut that is GTA 6.
