Perhaps the only thing you are waiting for more is as Grand Theft Auto VI himself is the possibility that it will be delayed. Parent company Take-Two confirms that this is not the case yet. The open-world crime saga is still scheduled for fall 2025, according to its latest earnings report.
“The Grand Theft Auto Series has exceeded our expectations as the momentum before the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI in autumn 2025,” said the company, which GTA maker Rockstar Games wrote in a press release on Thursday. It’s the last game in the upcoming release calendar to have a launch window, and fans will breathe another sigh of relief that it hasn’t been pushed back to 2026.
At the beginning of this year GTA VI was already expected in the first half of 2025. But in May, Take-Two confirmed that it would not arrive until the second half of the year. Although it was not an out-and-out delay, it was the first small wave that led to a small wave of potential panic among players who were waiting for the next GTA Playing for over a decade. My city previously reported that while Rockstar Games employees have partially returned to the office to ensure the game comes out on time, there is still a possibility that the release could be delayed until 2026.
Fans got a first look at the next chapter of the studio’s successful open world Saga last December with a trailer full of scenes from The Vice City, Miami style and the surrounding Florida-inspired region, and the confirmation that GTA VI would have two protagonists, including a playable woman named Lucia. Since then, people have been picking apart everything shown in the short teaser to get more clues about the upcoming blockbuster. It doesn’t take much for fans who are losing their minds.
While Take-Two is one of several major gaming companies currently negotiating a deal with SAG-AFTRA performers striking over AI protections, a spokesperson for the group said: GTA VI was one of the games exempt from work interruption.
