Grand Theft Auto 6 is basically set to be released in the fall of 2025, with the CEO of game publisher Take-Two expressing “high confidence” that it will be released on schedule.
Last week, Take-Two revealed to us that GTA 6 will finally be released sometime in the fall of 2025, which would have required a wait of more than a year, but now that we have a rough release window, the wait should be a lot easier. Now, in an interview with CNBC, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick was asked about the release of the upcoming open-world game, including the publisher’s views on it. Zelnick was asked how release dates are usually determined internally, and he noted that you can tell a game’s progress by “the number of bugs in the game.” “For example, each of us will make sure that there are as few bugs in the game as possible before release.”

“However, with a game that is so extraordinary and for which people have such high expectations, the problem is not about bugs. It’s about creating an experience that has never been seen before, and Rockstar Games strives for perfection. Perfection is hard to measure.” Now, first of all, I’m not sure Rockstar can create an experience that has never been seen before, and considering that GTA 6 is a sequel, how different can it really be? But at the same time, the first trailer clearly shows how Rockstar is taking advantage of the wildness of Florida, which can never really be replicated because there are so many unbelievable and ridiculous things happening there every day.

Still, Take-Two is at least confident of a late 2025 release window, saying: “There are downturns in the industry, and we are not immune to them. But we shortened the timeline because we are very confident in this timeline.” We’re still waiting for an official gameplay reveal for GTA 6, but I’m sure it will come once Rockstar is ready.
