Grand Theft Auto 6 Gets Encouraging Development Update

Take-Two Interactive has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 is still set for release in Fall 2025, with the game remaining on track to make the window that was initially confirmed earlier this year. Although some had feared that Grand Theft Auto 6 would slip into 2026, Take-Two Interactive has confirmed that this isn’t the case at the present moment.

Gamers have waited patiently for Grand Theft Auto 6, with the last mainline game in the series released back in 2013. The hype for the game is absolutely enormous, which is no surprise given the success of the previous title. With just a single trailer released so far, fans of the series have been scouring every frame, looking for hints of what is to come. Some eagle-eyed gamers have even spotted some big GTA 6 improvements to previous entries, offering hope that Rockstar will stick the landing after all this time.

In a press release for Take-Two Interactive’s Q2 2025 earnings call, the company confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 is still penciled in for launch in “Fall of calendar 2025.” In this instance, no news is good news, especially as Fall 2025 draws closer. Despite the positive update, Take-Two Interactive is yet to lock down a concrete release date for Grand Theft Auto 6, so fans will have to remain content with the release window for now. The press release also provided an impressive GTA 5 sales update, showing how the game continues to smash sales milestones in 2024.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is Still Planning A Fall 2025 Release

The reaffirmation of Grand Theft Auto 6‘s Fall 2025 release date refutes rumors of a delay that began circling a few months ago. Some had suggested that a 2026 release was on the cards for the long-awaited title, although this isn’t the plan at the moment. The press release continues to list Grand Theft Auto 6 as a PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S title, with still no mention of a PC version right now. This is par for the course for Rockstar – Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 came to PC 19 and 13 months after their original launches, respectively, with no suggestion that the studio’s approach will change here.

It has been almost a year since the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 was released. This first look has since garnered over 200 million views on Rockstar’s YouTube channel alone, showing the enormous excitement about the game. Rockstar is yet to reveal when the next Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer will launch, but with 2025 just around the corner, hopefully, it isn’t too far away.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is an open world crime game that takes fans back to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City.
