Despite industry speculation, Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games' parent company, maintains its projected fall 2025 release date for Grand Theft Auto 6 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This confirmation came during their third-quarter financial report (ending December 31, 2024).

While acknowledging the inherent risk of delays, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed confidence in the fall 2025 timeframe, stating the company "feel[s] really good about it." He emphasized Rockstar's dedication to quality, highlighting their pursuit of perfection. Zelnick remained tight-lipped regarding specific development updates, only mentioning the game's high anticipation both internally and externally.

The GTA 6 release date continues to be a major point of discussion within the gaming industry. The anticipation is so significant that rival publishers, like EA, are reportedly considering delaying their own releases to avoid competing directly with the anticipated blockbuster.
