GTA 6 release date still on track for this autumn, Take-Two insists, despite delay fears

Rockstar Games’ hugely anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 is still on track to launch this “fall” publisher Take-Two Interactive has reiterated, despite persistent rumblings of a delay.

Take-Two recommitted to its release window as part of its Q3 FY 2025 earnings report, writing, “This calendar year is shaping up to be one of the strongest ever for [the company], as we plan to launch Sid Meier’s Civilization 7 on 11th February, Mafia: The Old Country in the summer, Grand Theft Auto 6 in the Fall, and Borderlands 4.”

Take-Two announced an autumn 2025 release target for GTA 6 last May, narrowing down what had previously only been a 2025 window at the time of the game’s first trailer reveal. However, rumours of a possible delay have continued to dog the game since then.

A report last March suggested Rockstar had originally been targeting a “spring” 2025 release but that development had “fallen behind”. An autumn launch was said to be more likely – just as 2K later announced – but it was claimed a 2026 release could happen as “fallback plan”.
