Take-Two Interactive has confirmed that *Grand Theft Auto 6* remains on course for its anticipated fall 2025 release. This affirmation came during the company's financial results report for the third quarter ending December 31, 2024, where GTA 6 was explicitly listed for release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. This news solidifies the game's release window and assures fans that, for now, there's no delay in sight.

In an interview with IGN ahead of the financial report's release, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick addressed concerns about potential delays. "Look, there's always a risk of slippage and I think as soon as you say words like absolutely, you jinx things," Zelnick noted, adding, "So we feel really good about it [fall 2025]." His cautious optimism underscores the company's confidence while acknowledging the inherent uncertainties in game development.

When pressed for details on the development of GTA 6, Zelnick remained tight-lipped, emphasizing the game's high anticipation both within the company and among fans. "We know that Rockstar seeks perfection," he said. "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."

The release date of GTA 6 is a topic of intense interest across the entertainment industry, with other game publishers closely monitoring Rockstar's moves. EA CEO Andrew Wilson recently hinted at the potential impact of GTA 6's release timing on their own scheduling decisions, suggesting they might delay the new Battlefield game based on GTA 6's launch.

In the meantime, IGN offers more insights into GTA 6, including thoughts from an ex-Rockstar developer on potential delays, Zelnick's comments on a possible PC version, and expert analysis on the performance of GTA 6 on the PS5 Pro.

Take-Two also highlighted the continued success of their other titles. *Grand Theft Auto 5* has now sold an impressive 210 million units worldwide, while *GTA Online* had a strong quarter, boosted by the Agents of Sabotage update. GTA+ memberships saw a 10% increase year-over-year. Meanwhile, *Red Dead Redemption 2* has surpassed 70 million copies sold, with the highest level of concurrent players on Steam to date.

Take-Two's 2025 lineup is packed, featuring the recent release of *Civilization 7* from Firaxis, *PGA Tour 2K25* and *WWE 2K25* in March, *Mafia: The Old Country* in the summer, *GTA 6* in the fall, and *Borderlands 4* from Gearbox before year-end. The company expressed strong optimism about the commercial potential of these titles, expecting them to have a transformative impact on both their business and the gaming industry in the long term. Take-Two remains highly confident in achieving record levels of Net Bookings in fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
