Rockstar Games’ highly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI has a new release window of Fall 2025, as revealed in an earnings call by parent company Take-Two Interactive. However, the company also posted a massive $2.9 billion loss for its fourth fiscal quarter, with the majority of the losses attributed to a goodwill charge. Take-Two declined to provide a more specific release date for GTA VI, leaving it up to Rockstar to make the official announcement.
Take-Two is the parent company of Rockstar and 2K Games, with plans to acquire Gearbox Entertainment, the developer of Borderlands. The GTA VI trailer, released in December, became the most-watched YouTube video of all time with over 190 million views. Rockstar’s previous game, Red Dead Redemption 2, was successful but did not match the popularity of Grand Theft Auto. The lack of single-player DLC for GTA V has been a disappointment for fans.
With a 12-year gap between Grand Theft Auto games, some fans are anxious about potential delays for GTA VI. Rockstar’s pace of releasing games has slowed significantly compared to previous years when they released multiple titles in a short span of time. GTA V was a massive success upon its release in 2013, and fans are eagerly awaiting the next installment in the series. However, the company’s track record of delays and lack of updates for previous games has some concerned.
The anticipation for GTA VI is high, especially given the success of GTA V and the popularity of the series as a whole. Rockstar’s focus on GTA Online has been profitable, but the lack of single-player content has left some fans wanting more. The company’s commitment to delivering GTA VI in Fall 2025 is reassuring, but only time will tell if they can meet that deadline. With the extensive history of the Grand Theft Auto franchise, fans are hopeful that Rockstar will deliver another groundbreaking game.
The release of GTA VI is expected to be a major event in the gaming world, with fans eagerly awaiting any new information or updates from Rockstar. The success of the franchise and the anticipation for a new installment make it one of the most highly-anticipated games in recent years. While delays and uncertainties remain a concern, the potential for a successful release in Fall 2025 is a bright spot for fans of the Grand Theft Auto series. Rockstar’s reputation for delivering quality games will be put to the test with the release of GTA VI.
