With busting all the rumors, Take-Two confirmed that the company is sticking to the already announced release window of 2025 of GTA 6.

The anticipated release window for GTA 6 might have been confirmed by official information from Take-Two Interactive, so fans may be in luck. With 2025 approaching and no new trailers or fanfare, fans have been growing increasingly nervous, but it appears that the business is still on schedule for release.

Expectations are high for the upcoming title, which may be hard to meet, but players are more worried about the game’s delay than anything else lately. The highly anticipated GTA title is expected to be one of the biggest game launches in recent memory. Rockstar Games has had a string of hits since it revived the series with Grand Theft Auto 3, with each subsequent GTA game being a massive seller for the company.

During a quarterly earnings call, Take-Two Interactive acknowledged that Grand Theft Auto 6 is still scheduled for release in 2025. Specifically, the company anticipates that Grand Theft Auto 6 will launch in the fall of 2025, which would place the game’s release between late August and December of that year. This would be consistent with some previous rumors, though a recent claim that GTA 6 would launch in September has been ruled untrue.

Take-Two Interactive seems confident in GTA 6‘s current release window, but anything can happen. The company will make a lot of money from the game, and the purpose of its investment report is to reassure its shareholders about the company’s financial outlook for the year.

This release window is hopefully realistic and won’t revert to the so-called death march that the Red Dead Redemption 2 team underwent in order to finish the game on time, as Rockstar Games has also previously backed off on its crunch culture.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is still anticipated for the time being. Fans should find something to occupy them until the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 because 2025 is looking to be a pretty exciting year for games in general. Having said that, players are becoming impatient as they wait for the next Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer in order to find out more about the game’s features, gameplay, and other aspects.

During an interview with IGN prior to the investor call being made public, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick took the opportunity to allay fans’ concerns, even though many fans immediately recalled a similar scenario with Red Dead Redemption 2, where it was allegedly not going to be delayed early in the year and then pushed back in May.

Zelnick acknowledged that Take-Two feels “really good about” the Fall 2025 release date, despite the risk of “slippage” when it comes to big game releases, according to IGN. The investor call also reflected Take-Two’s apparent expectation that 2025 will be a huge year for it, which will undoubtedly occur if GTA 6 is released. This is what the CEO stated:

Look, there’s always a risk of slippage and I think as soon as you say words like absolutely, you jinx things. So we feel really good about it.

Zelnick provided little information about GTA 6, aside from restating Take-Two’s conviction that the game would be released this year. While acknowledging that Rockstar “seeks perfection” with its games, he did mention the enormous enthusiasm for the upcoming game both internally and externally. Even so, Zelnick knows that “the competition is not asleep” and that GTA will have to work hard.
