Will GTA 6 come out in 2025 / 2026 / 2027 ? It’s one of the key gaming questions of the moment. And, for now at least, its publisher Take-Two is confident the game will arrive this autumn.
Adding to the mounting concerns, Rockstar’s otherwise slick promo machine has fallen noticeably silent. So far, all we have to go on is a stunning trailer that fans have dissected like vultures over a carcass, obsessively analysing every detail – from the graphical fidelity of hair to the possibility of turtles in the sea. But, hey ho, let’s keep our chins up, eh? Here’s everything we know about GTA 6, the seventh major instalment in the record-breaking action series.
“We are highly confident that Rockstar Games will deliver an unparalleled entertainment experience, and our expectations for the commercial impact of the title continue to increase,” said Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick on the company’s earnings call in May 2024. Another earnings call is due on February 6 and, if there’s an increased risk of a delay, we may be able to glean some hints during that presentations. Take-Two doesn’t really have to appease fans, but shareholders? That’s another story. Mr Zelnick did speak confidently during the 2024 earnings call, though. “We narrowed the timing because we are highly confident in the timing,” says Mr Zelnick. He also noted how today’s games are all at risk of “slippage”, where issues in development mean a title gets delayed, and talked about how you might even begin to judge when a game is actually ready for release. And how GTA 6 is a little bit different.
