GTA 6 release date speculation: All eyes on 2025

Rockstar has confirmed that the GTA 6 release date is set for 2025. The news arrived as part of the reveal trailer, noting that Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to release TBC 2025 no further clarification has been posted on when.

Prior to the reveal trailer, internet sleuths had been making some educated guesses. Multiple sources have corroborated a rumor that GTA 6 will release in 2025, which was part of a larger info drop that suggested that Grand Theft Auto 6 would be set in a modern-day Vice City.

Interestingly, Take-Two, the Rockstar owner, continues to imply GTA 6 is out by March 2025 while saying nothing about it. CEO Strauss Zelnick says "we remain confident that we are positioning our business for a significant inflection point in fiscal 2025, which we believe will include new record levels of operating performance." That significant boost to revenue predictions is supposedly due to the GTA 6 launch.

However, there's a new report via Kotaku that suggest Rockstar is worried production on GTA 6 is falling behind, and could impact the 2025 release date. Rockstar has moved all of its employees back to full-time in-office work five days a week, which multiple of its developers have expressed concern about, particularly when it comes to the potential effects on the sequel. Fall 2025 is now looking more realistic than Spring 2025, but we'll have to wait for more news from Rockstar before we can know more officially.
