The wait for Grand Theft Auto VI has been long and, for many fans, frustrating. While leaks and speculation continue to fuel excitement, the community is eager for official news—especially regarding the game’s release date.
A new theory circulating online suggests that January 30 could be the day Rockstar finally confirms when GTA VI will launch. While nothing is set in stone, some believe that if an announcement doesn’t come soon, it may indicate a delay.
The Theory Behind the January 30 Speculation
Reddit user Arvosss has put forward an interesting theory, which they admit comes from having “too much free time.” According to their research, January 30 aligns with previous Rockstar Games announcements related to launch dates.
Looking at past patterns, Take-Two Interactive (Rockstar’s parent company) has revealed release dates for major games during their third-quarter earnings calls—notably in 2013 and 2018. This suggests that GTA VI could follow a similar timeline.
However, there’s a catch: Red Dead Redemption 2 was initially announced during an earnings call but was delayed, with the delay being confirmed just a day before the scheduled earnings report.
Based on this trend, the Reddit post speculates:
“We’re 99% sure to get a release date or delay announcement before February 6.”
If Rockstar follows the same pattern, fans could soon receive confirmation on whether GTA 6 is still on track for Fall 2025 or if a delay is inevitable.
GTA 6 Fans Remain Skeptical
While the theory is intriguing, not everyone is convinced. Some believe Rockstar and Take-Two will stick with the already announced Fall 2025 window, without providing an exact date just yet.
One Reddit user, SupremeBlackGuy, responded:
“The earnings call will just say Fall 2025 as it always has. Nothing is going to happen on Thursday, don’t set yourself up.”
Despite skepticism, the excitement around GTA 6 remains strong. With each passing week, fans are eager for any new information—whether it’s another trailer, in-game screenshots, or a definitive release date.
Will We Get an Announcement?
While there’s no confirmation that Rockstar will reveal the release date on January 30, history suggests it’s a possibility. If nothing is announced, it could mean the game is still on schedule—or that a delay is coming.
