Parent company Take-Two has officially confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI is still on track for a fall 2025 release. This announcement comes as a relief to fans who have been eagerly awaiting the next installment in the popular open-world crime saga. The company expressed that the Grand Theft Auto series has surpassed their expectations, generating significant momentum leading up to the launch of GTA VI.
Initially, there were concerns that the game might be delayed, especially after rumors surfaced earlier this year suggesting a possible shift to 2026. However, Take-Two’s recent earnings report has put those fears to rest, assuring players that the release date remains set for fall 2025. While there have been minor adjustments to the expected timeline, with the game previously rumored for an early 2025 release, fans can now look forward to experiencing GTA VI in the second half of 2025.
The anticipation for Grand Theft Auto VI has been building steadily since Rockstar Games provided a sneak peek last December. The trailer showcased scenes set in a Miami-inspired Vice City and its surrounding Florida-inspired region, introducing players to dual protagonists, including a playable female character named Lucia. This glimpse into the game’s world has fueled speculation and excitement among the fanbase, with enthusiasts dissecting every detail in search of clues about the upcoming blockbuster.
Despite ongoing negotiations between major gaming companies and SAG-AFTRA performers regarding AI protections, it has been confirmed that GTA VI is exempt from the current work stoppage. This exemption ensures that the development of the game remains unaffected by the labor dispute, allowing Rockstar Games to focus on delivering an exceptional gaming experience to fans.
As the countdown to fall 2025 continues, players can rest assured that Grand Theft Auto VI is still on schedule for release, promising an immersive and thrilling addition to the beloved franchise. Stay tuned for further updates and announcements as the highly anticipated launch date approaches.
