GTA 6 release date quietly pushed back, brace yourselves

Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games’ parent company, has already revised information provided in last week’s earnings call, and the change could spell a major implication forGrand Theft Auto VI.

It’s well known at this stage thatGrand Theft Auto VIis set to launch in 2025. Beyond that though, we don’t have a confirmed date or month fromRockstar. Attheir latest earnings call, Take-Two said that they predicted the Fiscal Year 2025 to yield $8 billion in revenue. Given that the FY25 runs from April 2024 to March 2025, this whopper of a revenue prediction seemed to signify thatGTA VIwas due to land in either January, February, or March. While this is speculative, it makes a lot of sense given thatGTA VIis clearly going to be the major revenue stream that Take-Two are referring to. Some of that information has just been revised though.

It’s hardly a loss for us fans. Given that we don’t have an official release date beyond the vague ‘2025’, we cannot complain of a delay. Still, it’s interesting to sneak a peek at what might be going on behind the scenes.

In case you missed last week’s earnings call, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick commented on the status ofGTA VI, saying, “We’re seeking perfection. When we feel that we’ve optimised this, we’ll plan for release. We’re in this together. We have profit-sharing plans at the company, our goal is to align everyone’s interest with the shareholders.” The wait continues.
