Take-Two Interactive, the publisher behind Grand Theft Auto VI, is increasingly confident in a Fall 2025 release. Let's delve into the details surrounding this anticipated release and the broader success of Take-Two's portfolio.
Grand Theft Auto VI remains on track for a Fall 2025 launch. During their Q3 Earnings Conference Call on February 7, 2025, Take-Two Interactive reaffirmed this timeline.
While CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed confidence, he acknowledged the inherent risks in predicting release dates, stating, "Look, there's always a risk of slippage...as soon as you say words like 'absolutely,' you jinx things." However, he added that the company "feels really good about it," regarding the Fall 2025 window. Zelnick remained tight-lipped about specific development details, emphasizing Rockstar's dedication to quality and the competitive gaming landscape.
Zelnick highlighted 2025 as a pivotal year for Take-Two, citing several key releases: "Looking ahead, this calendar year is shaping up to be one of the strongest ever for Take-Two, as Sid Meier’s Civilization VII launched in Early Access today, with the official launch on February 11th, and we also plan to release Mafia: The Old Country in the Summer, Grand Theft Auto VI in the Fall, and Borderlands 4 before year-end." He expressed strong optimism about the commercial potential of these titles. The company projects record-breaking net bookings for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
The Grand Theft Auto franchise continues to dominate, with GTA V surpassing 210 million units sold worldwide. GTA Online also enjoyed a strong quarter, boosted by the "Agents of Sabotage" holiday update and continued growth of the GTA+ membership program (up 10% year-over-year).
Other Take-Two titles also performed exceptionally well. NBA 2K25 sold over 7 million units, demonstrating significant increases in player engagement. Red Dead Redemption 2, with over 70 million units sold, continues to attract new players, reaching record concurrent player numbers on Steam (99,993 according to SteamDB).
Speculation surrounding Steven Ogg, the actor who portrayed Trevor in GTA V, and his alleged dislike for the character has been addressed. In an interview on the Inside You podcast, Ogg clarified that he doesn't hate the character, but simply prefers not to be called Trevor outside of his work. He expressed appreciation for the role and his continued friendship with the actors who played Franklin and Michael. While he previously mused about Trevor's potential (and demise) in GTA VI, he confirmed no involvement in the game's production.
Grand Theft Auto VI is currently slated for a Fall 2025 release, though a precise date remains unannounced. Stay tuned for updates.
