Fans, at last, have a release date of Grand Theft Auto 6 to gloss over that they can look forward to on their screens.
Rockstar Games announced Thursday that GTA VI will be available in the fall of 2025. The game will introduce two new protagonists, a fresh setting, and a host of new vehicles.
It was disclosed on the back of Take-Two Interactive’s parent company, Rockstar's financial statement, which suffered a $2 million fall. The company's growth was impressive, as it went on to earn $7.6bn in the last quarter.
“Our outlook reflects a narrowing of Rockstar Games' previously established window of Calendar 2025 to Fall of Calendar 2025 for Grand Theft Auto VI,” the company statement reads.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told IGN, “We do feel highly confident that we'll deliver [Grand Theft Auto VI] in fall of 2025.”
Despite the financial setback, the GTA series continues to be a commercial juggernaut.
GTA V, released in 2013, has achieved a monumental sales milestone, moving 200 million copies and securing its place as the second highest-selling game ever, trailing only behind the colossal Minecraft, which boasts over 300 million sales.
Announcement of GTA VI was precipitated by an unforeseen leak
On December 5, Rockstar released the official trailer for GTA VI after it leaked online. The trailer, showcasing a vibrant and fictionalized Miami setting known as Vice City, was accompanied by Tom Petty’s “Love is a Long Road.”
