Grand Theft Auto 6 is on track to release in Fall 2025, Take-Two says
There are currently no plans to delay Rockstar’s GTA 6, its parent company confirms
Grand Theft Auto 6 is still on track to release later this year, Take-Two says.
During an investor presentation discussing its Q3 earnings for the financial year 2025, the publisher confirmed that the game is still listed as “launching Fall of Calendar 2025”.
It also says Borderlands 4 is still planned to release later this year.
Take-Two hasn’t given more concrete release dates for either game, however, which may prove frustrating for other publishers who are reportedly deciding not to nail down release dates for their own products, so as not to clash with the release of Grand Theft Auto 6.
“We forecast that Calendar Year 2025 will be an inflection point for Take-Two,” the publisher wrote in a statement, “from the groundbreaking release of Grand Theft Auto 6 in the Fall, to the unmatched pipeline that 2K is set to deliver, including Civilization 7 on February 11, Mafia: The Old Country in the Summer, and Borderlands 4.
Last month Bloomberg claimed that rival game publishers are waiting as long as possible to commit to their release dates for next Fall, because of GTA 6’s planned release.
They want to see if GTA 6 will make its deadline or be delayed until 2026, with the goal being to put significant distance between the release of their own games and Rockstar’s, it’s claimed.
Take-Two itself has said it’s planning to avoid clashes for its biggest titles, meaning Borderlands 4 is unlikely to release with any close proximity to GTA 6.
“I think it’s safe to say that we wouldn’t, and no one would, stack up huge releases unnecessarily,” CEO Strauss Zelnick told Variety last year.
