Take-Two boss confirms when GTA 6 will finally be released

There had been fears it could be delayed

In recent weeks there has been rumblings that the game could be delayed but Take-Two recommitted to its release window as part of its Q3 FY 2025 earnings report.

It said: "This calendar year is shaping up to be one of the strongest ever for [the company], 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."

At the time that the first trailer was released, it had only been touted as a 2025 release but last May they revealed that the game had an Autumn 2025 release target.

A report last March suggested the publisher had originally targeted a spring 2025 release but that development had 'fallen behind' and an autumn launch was more likely.

However, it has also been suggested that a 2026 release could happen as a fallback plan.

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said in an interview with IGN: "I think the game is eagerly anticipated both internally and externally.

"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 organisation is super excited."
