UPDATE:A correction: Take-Two’s report detailed below that listsGTA 6’s planned autumn 2025 launch date was in fact first published in July, pre-dating the more recent rumour of a delay.
Our original story remains below:
Take-Two Interactive, publisher of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, has recommited to the game’splanned autumn 2025 launch windowafter recent rumours of a delay.
This month, speculation of a GTA 6 delay sparked internet chatter that Rockstar’s long-awaited project had been pushed to 2026.
Now, in its newly-releasedannual report, Take-Two Interactive has doubled down on the game’s publicly-confirmed release timing - and said GTA 6 will still launch in around 12 months' time.
“Rockstar Gamescontinues to invest in the franchise and plans to release Grand Theft Auto 6 in the fall of calendar 2025,” Take-Two Interactive wrote.
“The label released its first trailer for the title in December 2023 and will share more details over time.”
Last week, Bloomberg’s Jason Schreierreportedthat half a dozen Rockstar employees he’d spoken to had heard no word of a delay to the game - although that didn’t rule one out if executives had made the decision without informing staff more widely.
Earlier this year, Take-Two Interactive said it was “highly confident Rockstar Games will deliver an unparalleled entertainment experience” that would present “tremendous growth” for the company.
Assuming Grand Theft Auto 6 remains on track, it will arrive nearly 12 years after the launch ofGrand Theft Auto 5- which has since sold an astonishing 200m copies.
