Take-Two Interactive, the publisher behind the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), remains confident in a Fall 2025 release. This follows their recent Q3 earnings call, where the company outlined its strong performance and future plans.
GTA 6: Still on Track for Fall 2025
While Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed optimism about the Fall 2025 release window for GTA 6, he acknowledged the inherent risks associated with game development timelines. He emphasized Rockstar's dedication to quality, stating that the company prioritizes delivering a polished and exceptional product. While he refrained from revealing specific development details, his comments suggest a positive outlook on the project's progress.
Take-Two Interactive's Robust 2025 Lineup
Zelnick highlighted 2025 as a pivotal year for Take-Two, with several major releases planned. Beyond GTA 6's anticipated Fall launch, the company expects to release Sid Meier’s Civilization VII (following its Early Access launch), Mafia: The Old Country in Summer, and Borderlands 4 before the year's end. The company expressed significant confidence in the commercial success of its upcoming titles.
Continued Success for Existing Franchises
The enduring popularity of the GTA franchise remains undeniable. Grand Theft Auto V has surpassed 210 million units sold globally, and GTA Online continues to thrive, with strong performance in its holiday update and its subscription service, GTA+. Other titles like NBA 2K25 and Red Dead Redemption 2 also reported significant sales and engagement figures, demonstrating the company's broad portfolio strength.
Addressing Rumors about GTA V's Trevor Phillips
Addressing persistent speculation, Steven Ogg, the actor who portrayed Trevor Phillips in GTA V, clarified that he does not harbor any negative feelings towards the character. He simply prefers not to be addressed solely by his character's name. He confirmed his continued friendship with other GTA V cast members, further dispelling any rumors of animosity. While he has previously speculated on Trevor's potential (and violent) return in GTA 6, he confirmed he has not been involved in any recording for the upcoming game.
In conclusion, while a precise release date for GTA 6 remains unannounced, Take-Two Interactive's confidence and the continued success of its other titles suggest a Fall 2025 launch is increasingly likely. Further updates are anticipated as the release date approaches.
