 Grand Theft Auto 6 publisher Take-Two Interactive is "highly-confident" in 
the game's autumn 2025 release window. 

Last week (May 17), it was revealed in Take-Two's most recent financial 
report that the next major Grand Theft Auto title will be launching in late 
2025 despite earlier reports of delays as Rockstar Games urged staff to 
return to the office. 

Speaking in recent interview CNCB that was spotted by Eurogamer , Take-Two 
CEO Strauss Zelnick has reaffirmed the game's 2025 release date, but 
acknowledges that there is "slippage in the industry". 

"We are not immune from that," Zelnick said, "However, we narrowed the timing 
because we are highly confident in that time." 

When asked what determines a game's release date, the CEO explained that it 
generally comes down to things like "the number of bugs" but for GTA 6 , it's 
also about "creating an experience that no one has seen before". Strauss 
Zelnick (Take-Two CEO) was interviewed by CNBC on #GTA6 - The game was 
internally delayed because rockstar seeks perfection, its going to be a game

"Every one of us will make sure we have as few bugs in a title as possible 
before we launch," Zelnick said. "However, in the case of an extraordinary 
title for which there are extraordinary expectations, it's not really about 
bugs, it's about creating an experience that no one has seen before. 

"And Rockstar Games seeks perfection in what they do. Perfection is indeed 
hard to measure, it really is more subjective than objective." 

Rockstar Games officially unveiled GTA 6 alongside a cinematic trailer in 
December, which confirmed long-time rumors that the game will feature two 
playable protagonists - Lucia and Jason. 

It's also confirmed that the title will be set in the state of Leonida, which 
will see players returning to Vice City. Rockstar has described the area as 
"the biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet". 

 Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to launch on PlayStation 5 , Xbox Series X , and 
Xbox Series S , with no word on a potential PC release at this time. You
