Take-Two Interactive has reaffirmed Grand Theft Auto 6's release timeline during its latest financial call, with CEO Strauss Zelnick confirming the title will arrive in Q3 2025. The announcement came alongside milestones for the franchise, including Grand Theft Auto 5 surpassing 205 million units sold worldwide.
The company's financial performance remains strong, with quarterly net bookings reaching $1.47 billion and yearly projections holding steady between $5.55 and $5.65 billion. While GTA 6 has only been confirmed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S at launch, Zelnick hinted at an expanding PC presence for Take-Two's portfolio, noting that, "PC will be more and more a part of [our] business going forward."
Industry observers have speculated about potential delays given Rockstar's history and the studio's perfectionist approach to development. However, Take-Two's leadership appears confident in the Q3 2025 window, positioning GTA 6 as the centerpiece of their fiscal 2026 lineup.
The publisher's upcoming slate includes several major titles scheduled for fiscal year 2026, including Borderlands 4, Mafia: The Old Country, and Civilization 7 – all confirmed for PC alongside console releases. The absence of a PC version of GTA 6 at launch suggests PC players may need to wait until 2026.
Take-Two's existing titles continue to perform well. Beyond GTA 5's record-breaking sales, Red Dead Redemption 2 has reached 67 million units sold. GTA Online also exceeded expectations, with its GTA+ membership growing 35 per cent over the past year.
In a candid moment during the call, Zelnick addressed the disappointing performance of the Borderlands film adaptation. While acknowledging the movie's shortcomings, he noted that it positively impacted game catalog sales. The experience has led Take-Two to adopt a more selective approach to future media licensing deals, emphasizing the importance of maintaining brand quality across all platforms.
