Grand Theft Auto 6 New Release Date and Details

Grand Theft Auto 6, the highly anticipated next installment in the popular video game series, has had its release window narrowed down to Fall 2025. This announcement came from Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of the game’s developer, Rockstar Games. The news was shared during Take-Two’s Q4 2024 earnings report, where they expressed confidence that Rockstar Games will deliver an unparalleled entertainment experience.

The confirmation of the Fall 2025 release represents a slight shift from the previously expected launch earlier in the year. This update has led to a significant reaction in the market, with Take-Two Interactive’s stock price experiencing a drop shortly after the announcement. The adjustment in the release timing is seen as a strategic move by the company, aligning with their expectations for commercial impact and growth.

In the financial aspect, Take-Two Interactive reported a substantial quarterly loss of $2.9 billion. This loss included a $2.18 billion goodwill charge, among other acquisition-related expenses and restructuring costs. Despite this, the company remains optimistic about the future, especially with the release of GTA 6 on the horizon.

The game is set to feature a Bonnie and Clyde-style couple as dual protagonists, marking a return to the series’ Miami-inspired Vice City. This narrative choice is expected to add a fresh dynamic to the gameplay and story, contributing to the game’s appeal and potential success.

Looking ahead, Take-Two anticipates tremendous growth in net bookings over the next three years, driven by the release of GTA 6. The game’s predecessor, Grand Theft Auto 5, sold over 200 million copies, setting a high bar for the upcoming title.
