GTA VI Still Targeting Fall 2025, Still No Official Release Date
Take-Two insist there are no changes to GTA VI's expected release window, with the game still targeting a Fall 2025 launch.
In their most recent earnings report, last night on Feb 6th, 2025, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick explained to investors that Grand Theft Auto VI is still on course to launch towards the end of the year - despite over 14 months of silence from the developer Rockstar Games.
While the news of no delay isn't really a surprise - primarily because Rockstar Games are unlikely to know if they'll need more time to polish the game until the middle of 2025 - it's a good sign that they're continuing to target the end of this year for release.
"Risk Of Slippage"
When pushed on the game's progress and potential release date, Strauss Zelnick was keen to point out nothing is set in stone and that the game could be delayed at a later date.
"Look, there's always a risk of slippage and I think as soon as you say words like absolutely, you jinx things," Zelnick responded when IGN asked how confident he was that Rockstar will hit fall 2025 for GTA 6. "So we feel really good about it."
When asked for an update on how development on GTA 6 is going, Zelnick kept his cards close to his chest.
"Look, I think the game is eagerly anticipated both internally and externally," he said. "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."
Updates Coming Soon?
If the game is to launch in Fall 2025, it's extremely likely that Rockstar Games will start their marketing campaign over the next few months, so fans should expect an update from Rockstar almost any day from now, with character and story details, screenshots and artwork and more trailers surely on the horizon.
