GTA 6 Confirmed for Fall 2025 Release in Take-Two’s Latest Report

In its recent financial report for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, Take-Two Interactive Software announced that Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) is slated for release in fall 2025. This confirmation has generated significant excitement among gaming enthusiasts who have eagerly awaited the next installment of the iconic franchise.

The report highlighted that the company's net bookings reached $1.37 billion, aligning with their guidance range. This performance was bolstered by the success of titles such as NBA 2K25, Grand Theft Auto Online, and Grand Theft Auto V. Despite a net loss of $125.2 million, or $0.71 per share, the company remains optimistic about its future prospects.

CEO Strauss Zelnick emphasized the significance of the upcoming year, stating,

"Looking ahead, 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 VII on February 11th, Mafia: The Old Country in the Summer, Grand Theft Auto VI in the Fall, and Borderlands 4."

Initially, GTA VI will be available exclusively for console players, with a PC port anticipated to follow. This staggered release strategy mirrors previous launches in the series, aiming to optimize the gaming experience across platforms.

The gaming community is abuzz with anticipation, eager to explore the new features and expansive world that Rockstar Games is renowned for creating. As the release date approaches, fans can look forward to more detailed announcements and previews that will shed light on what promises to be a landmark title in the gaming industry.

In summary, Take-Two Interactive's recent financial disclosures have not only provided insights into the company's performance but have also set the stage for an exciting lineup of game releases in 2025, with Grand Theft Auto VI leading the charge.

The new GTA has already become a phenomenon in gaming history, as Rockstar Games experienced its biggest data leak due to hackers attempting to obtain information about this very game. The first GTA 6 trailer amassed 240 million views in a year, and the absence of a second trailer has sparked fan concerns to the level of conspiracy theories about its release date.

Analysts predict that GTA 6 will generate $1 billion on its first day of pre-orders, making it the most profitable game ever, with a nearly billion-dollar lead over its closest competitor. The marketing campaign for GTA 6 is unlike anything seen before—an entire year of silence from official sources regarding development. Even Strauss Zelnick’s surface-level comments in interviews and the recently documented confirmation of the game’s Fall 2025 release have added little new information, merely reaffirming what was already known since December 2023.
