Take-Two, Rockstar Games' parent company, has reiterated its commitment to a Fall 2025 release for Grand Theft Auto 6 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This confirmation comes following their third-quarter 2024 financial report. While acknowledging the inherent risk of delays, CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed confidence in the projected release window.

In an interview with IGN, Zelnick stated that while slippage is always a possibility, Take-Two is "really good about" the Fall 2025 target. He emphasized the company's cautious approach, prioritizing quality over rushing the release. He highlighted Rockstar's dedication to perfection and the intense competition within the gaming industry.

The anticipated release of GTA 6 has generated significant industry buzz. EA CEO Andrew Wilson recently indicated a potential delay for the next Battlefield game, subtly acknowledging the impact GTA 6's launch might have on the market.
