Over a decade on from the last entry, Rockstar games is finally gearing up to release the highly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI. Announced to be coming some time in 2025, publisher Take-Two has now reaffirmed the fact that GTA VI will make its intended release year.
As part of the company’s latest fiscal earnings report, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick offered an update on the slate of games planned to release throughout 2025, saying (via Business Wire):
“Looking ahead, this calendar year is shaping up to be one of the strongest ever for Take-Two, as we plan to launch Sid Meier's Civilization VII on February 11th, Mafia: The Old Country in the Summer, Grand Theft Auto VI in the Fall, and Borderlands 4.”
As mentioned, GTA VI was announced back in late 2023, with a tentative release year of 2025. Since then, we’ve neither seen nor heard any more from the game, leading many fans to fear that a delay to 2026 could be a reality.
For now at least, it seems GTA VI will indeed arrive later this year. Hopefully this means we’ll be getting a big blowout event at some point in the coming months.
