While Rockstar Games has only confirmed a Q4 2025 release window for Grand Theft Auto VI, a new leak from Twitter user @DetectiveSeeds claims to pinpoint the launch to mid-November 2025. The leaker suggested PlayStation already knows the date and is comfortable with this timing, though their recent track record has been questionable.

Why November Makes Logical Sense
Several factors support this potential release timeframe:
- Optimal positioning before Black Friday and holiday sales
- Gives Rockstar maximum development time for polishing
- Follows Rockstar’s pattern of October releases (GTA V in 2013, RDR2 in 2018)
- Allows 2-3 months between final trailer and launch for marketing
The Need for Caution
It’s important to note that @DetectiveSeeds has been banned from major gaming leak subreddits due to unreliable recent claims. While they’ve been accurate in the past, this particular prediction could simply be an educated guess rather than insider information. Rockstar is known for last-minute delays, as seen when GTA V was pushed back just four months before its original release date.
What We Know For Certain
The only official information remains Rockstar’s Q4 2025 window (September-December). All eyes are now on Take-Two’s May 15 earnings call, where we may get concrete updates about the release schedule. Historically, these investor meetings have revealed crucial details about Rockstar’s biggest titles, sometimes accompanied by new trailers to generate hype.
When to Expect Reliable Information for GTA 6
The May 15 Take-Two Interactive earnings call will likely provide the next substantial update. These corporate events typically offer:
- Confirmation of release windows
- Financial projections tied to major launches
- Occasionally surprise announcements

Until then, all release date rumors should be taken with skepticism, no matter how plausible they may seem. Rockstar’s meticulous approach to development means they won’t commit to a date until they’re absolutely confident in hitting it.
