GTA 6 Remains Set For Fall 2025

As part of Take-Two’s latest earnings briefing, the company re-confirmed that Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto VI–one of the most highly anticipated games in the coming years–remains on track for release in Fall 2025. A slide in the company’s earnings release states that the game has not shifted.

Basically every Rockstar Games title over the past decade has been delayed beyond its originally announced date, but as of yet, GTA VI has not yet slipped (at least not in terms of publicly announced dates). There has been speculation that GTA VI could be delayed due in part to Rockstar’s enforcement of a return-to-office policy, but the game remains on track. The ongoing video game actor strike, which cites concerns over AI, does not affect GTA VI.

Also in Take-Two’s earnings release, the company confirmed that GTA V had sold “over” 200 million copies, which is the same figure the company disclosed three months ago. This might suggest the game is finally slowing down in terms of its sales pace. Take-Two also shared that the GTA franchise overall has now sold 430 million units worldwide, up from 425 million three months ago.

Additionally, Take-Two said it is predicting that revenue from GTA Online will decline in the future. Again, this likely speaks to the maturation of the product. Even the most popular games eventually slow down, and GTA V and GTA Online are no different.

According to one analyst, GTA V is the most important video game release in history. “There’s probably never been a more important thing to ever release in the industry, so no pressure,” Circana’s Mat Piscatella said.

Not every competing company is afraid of GTA VI, however. Ubisoft, for its part, said it welcomes the release of GTA VI because a massive game like that can help lift sales across the entire video game industry.
