The countdown to GTA 6 continues, and while Rockstar Games has confirmed a 2025 release window, mounting evidence suggests we might be waiting until the latter half of the year. Here’s what we know:
No Early 2025 Release?
When Rockstar officially announced GTA 6, fans were understandably focused on the release date. While the initial promise was a 2025 launch, keen-eyed analysts have noticed recent shifts that hint at a potential delay. Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent company, recently adjusted its fiscal year 2025 revenue forecast down from $8 billion to $7 billion. Considering GTA 6’s enormous revenue potential, some experts believe this might mean the game won’t hit shelves in the first part of 2025.
The Ideal Launch Window
While speculation continues, a September-October 2025 release for GTA 6 could be ideal. History seems to support this theory, as previous major GTA titles launched within this timeframe. This period aligns with prime blockbuster releases, and recent hits like Elden Ring and Baldur’s Gate 3 have solidified its attractiveness for big-name games.
What We Know So Far
Beyond the anticipated release window, Rockstar has offered some exciting tidbits about GTA 6. We know that the game will return to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City (inspired by Miami) and feature the franchise’s first-ever female protagonist alongside another playable character. Game will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with a PC release likely to follow at a later date.
Building Anticipation
Despite the potential for a slightly longer wait, fans’ excitement for GTA 6 remains at a fever pitch. The wait will be worth it, particularly as new details continue to emerge.
