GTA 6 is expected to launch in 2025 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, but Rockstar Games has not yet revealed the exact release date.
The studio is known for keeping its upcoming titles under wraps, and GTA 6 is no exception. Despite fans eagerly awaiting details for years, only a 90-second trailer has been released so far.
While we can’t say for certain when GTA 6 will be released, we can look at Rockstar’s past behavior to speculate on a possible announcement date.
However, it’s important to note that this article is purely speculative, and any predictions should be taken with a grain of salt.
When can GTA 6 fans expect an exact release date announcement?
While an exact release date for GTA 6 hasn’t been announced by Rockstar Games, it’s anticipated to launch in 2025. Clues from Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent company, suggest a potential early 2025 release window.
In their earnings calls last year, Take-Two Interactive projected eight billion dollars in Net-Bookings for Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25).
Although GTA 6 wasn’t explicitly mentioned as contributing to this revenue, it’s widely speculated to be the game that could help achieve such a substantial financial target. This has led some to believe that GTA 6 might be released in early 2025.
The recent adjustment in expected Net-Bookings revenue to seven billion at Take-Two’s latest earnings call suggests that GTA 6’s release might fall after April 2025, just outside the company’s FY25 window.
However, regardless of the specific release timing in 2025, fans can anticipate an announcement of the exact release date towards the end of this year or early next year, following a pattern similar to previous Rockstar titles like GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
For example, GTA 5 was initially expected to be released in Spring 2013, as announced on October 30, 2012, with pre-orders opening the following month. However, the game was later delayed to September 2013, and the exact release date was announced on January 31, 2013.
Regarding Red Dead Redemption 2, which also faced delays during development, Rockstar announced the game’s final release date as October 26, 2018, in February of that same year.
Exactly. Following the pattern seen with both GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, where Rockstar announced the exact release dates just months ahead of their launches, it’s reasonable to expect a similar approach with GTA 6.
Therefore, fans can anticipate the announcement of GTA 6’s exact release date to occur very late this year or in early 2025.
