The GTA 6 release date is constantly under scrutiny, with players constantly concerned that the huge game could be delayed any second – but TakeTwo insists it's still on track for launch this year. GTA 6 might be one of the most hyped games in the medium’s history, which makes it all the more frustrating that we haven’t seen a modicum of gameplay released by Rockstar Games since it was first revealed. The game’s first trailer was a huge moment in the industry, but sadly, things have been quiet ever since, as players are lured into release delay rumours that have caused them to massively panic with no confirmation either way from the game’s team. Luckily, though, some fresh news has appeared.
Thanks to a major turn from Take-Two in a recent earnings call, we know that there isn’t much to be worried about, probably! Here’s what you need to know about the recent update for the GTA 6 release date. Though fans of the franchise have been concerned that the huge budget and scope of the upcoming game could potentially delay the GTA 6 release date, we now have confirmation that, internally at least, nothing has changed, and the proposed 2025 release window is still on track.
Rockstar Games’ parent company, Take-Two Interactive, has revealed an even smaller window of release for GTA 6 in its earnings report for the third financial quarter of the year, writing that "This calendar year is shaping up to be one of the strongest ever for Take-Two, as we plan to launch Sid Meier's Civilization 7 on 11th February, Mafia: The Old Country in the summer, Grand Theft Auto 6 in the Fall, and Borderlands 4.".
It’s a refreshing detail that players have been holding out hope for, and though it might be unbelievable to some, the GTA 6 release date is still on track to launch in Fall of this very year. Fall is the months of September, October, and November for those not based in the US!. Panic has been avoided for now, and hopefully, this news will convince some other game developers that it’s safe to launch a game before the Fall of this year. However, we can hardly blame them for holding out until after players have invested in the title.
