Grand Theft Auto fans have been eagerly waiting for an official release date for the highly anticipated sequel, and while Rockstar Games hasn’t confirmed anything just yet, recent news and industry chatter suggest a likely launch window.
According to Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, Rockstar’s behemoth is expected to land in fall 2025. However, some analysts believe that GTA 6 might slip into next year if the game doesn’t get delayed. To avoid cannibalizing their own games, publishers and industry developers are watching closely for a release date.
A key piece of information came from the announcement of Borderlands 4, which is set to launch on September 23. Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent company, likely knows when GTA 6 is landing, even if it’s just a rough window. This would influence Borderlands 4’s release date, making October less likely.
Considering Call of Duty’s typical November release, GTA 6 might push into late October to avoid competing with the popular franchise. Microsoft-owned Xbox wants Grand Theft Auto 6 to be a big hit, as it will likely boost sales for the Xbox Series S console.
Based on this analysis, we’re predicting that GTA 6 will launch on October 28. The last Tuesday of the month aligns with Rockstar’s historical release patterns, and Take-Two’s commitment to a fall release date suggests that this might be the case.
