"GTA 6 Fall 2025 Release Date Gaining Credibility"

Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 6, is increasingly confident that the game will hit the shelves in Fall 2025. Dive in to explore more about GTA 6's expected release window and the remarkable performance of other Take-Two Interactive titles.

Take-Two Interactive Looks to Have One of Its Strongest Years

GTA 6 Release Window Still on Fall 2025

Grand Theft Auto 6 remains firmly scheduled for a Fall 2025 release. This was affirmed during Take-Two Interactive's Q3 Earnings Conference Call on February 7, 2025, where they discussed current statuses and future releases slated for this year.

Take-Two Interactive's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, expressed strong confidence in meeting the Fall 2025 release for GTA 6. However, he acknowledged the inherent uncertainties in game development, noting, "Look, there's always a risk of slippage and I think as soon as you say words like absolutely, you jinx things." Despite this, Zelnick remains optimistic, stating, "We feel really good about it." He refrained from sharing specifics on GTA 6's development, emphasizing Rockstar's pursuit of perfection. He remarked, "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 organization is super excited."

Take-Two Interactive Game Releases in 2025

Zelnick highlighted 2025 as a pivotal year for Take-Two Interactive, buoyed by a robust lineup of game releases. He shared, "Looking ahead, this calendar year is shaping up to be one of the strongest ever for Take-Two, as Sid Meier’s Civilization VII launched in Early Access today, with the official launch on February 11th, and we also plan to release Mafia: The Old Country in the Summer, Grand Theft Auto VI in the Fall, and Borderlands 4 before year-end."

Regarding the commercial outlook for these titles, Zelnick stated, "We are exceedingly optimistic about the commercial potential of our titles and believe that they will have a transformative effect on our business – and our industry – over the long term." The company also projects "sequential increases in, and record levels of, Net Bookings in Fiscal 2026 and 2027."

GTA 5 Sold 210 Million Units Worldwide To Date

The GTA franchise continues to dominate as Take-Two Interactive's flagship series, with GTA 5 selling over 210 million units worldwide. GTA Online enjoyed a stellar quarter with its holiday update, Agents of Sabotage, and GTA+, the membership program for GTA Online, saw a 10% year-over-year growth.

Other Take-Two Interactive titles also performed impressively in Q3. NBA 2K25 sold over 7 million units, showing increased player engagement with "Recurrent Consumer Spending up over 30%, Daily Active Users up nearly 20%, and Monthly Active Users up nearly 10%." Red Dead Redemption 2 continues to grow, selling over 70 million units, with Red Dead Online adding fan-favorite updates like the Halloween pass last quarter. The game currently boasts its highest level of concurrent players on Steam, with 99,993 players according to SteamDB.

GTA 5 Actor Does Not Hate His Character

There has been speculation among fans that Steven Ogg, the actor who portrayed Trevor in GTA 5, dislikes being associated with the character. However, Ogg clarified this during an interview on the Inside You podcast, stating, "When people call you by your character name, it's kinda weird because I kinda get it, but I'm also like meh." He affirmed his appreciation for Trevor, saying, "He's a great character. He's awesome. I still see [Fonteno, Franklin's actor] and Ned [Luke, Michael's actor], we're friends. We were just doing a Comic Con this past weekend."

In a previous interview with Screen Rant, Ogg humorously suggested that Trevor could appear in GTA 6 only to be killed off at the start, though he confirmed he has not recorded anything for GTA 6 and has no information about Trevor's potential return.

GTA 6 is slated for release in Fall 2025, though no specific date has been announced yet. Stay updated with the latest on Grand Theft Auto 6 by visiting our dedicated page.
