Take-Two May Reaffirm GTA 6 Release Window on May 15
Last year, reliable sources indicated that there was no reason to be concerned about apotential delay in the release date ofGrand Theft Auto 6. But as the months have gone by, Rockstar Games has remained worryingly silent on the title. The good news, however, is that Take-Two Interactive is set to host another quarterly earnings call on Jun 28, 2025. Past earnings calls have seen the company reaffirmGrand Theft Auto 6’s Fall 2025 release date, which means it will hopefully do the same again. In the unfortunate instance thatGrand Theft Auto 6is delayed into 2026, the likelihood is that it will be revealed during the earnings call next month.
While developer Rockstar Games has been tight-lipped on its upcoming title, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has briefly discussed the nextGrand Theft Autogame on multiple occasions. The CEO hasn’t given away much, but Zelnick did recently give fans an insight into the company’smarketing plans forGrand Theft Auto 6. When asked why there has been so much secrecy surroundingGTA 6, Zelnick explained that many other studios announce their release schedules “years in advance,” but Take-Two has found that the best option is to “provide marketing materials relatively close to the release window.”
Many fans are assuming the worst due to the prolonged period of silence surroundingGrand Theft Auto 6, but it appears that this could simply be a marketing strategy that Take-Two and Rockstar have opted for this time around. And it’s not just gamers that are eager to find out a launch date either, as recent reports claim that a handful of major publishers are prepared todelay their games due toGrand Theft Auto 6. With the nextGTAgame expected to be the biggest title of the year, publishers are reportedly stating that they “don’t want to be anywhere near [GTA 6].”
