While Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) was notably absent from Sony’s recent State of Play, fans may have gotten a clue about its release date thanks to an unexpected source: Borderlands 4. Here’s how the announcement of Gearbox’s looter shooter has seemingly narrowed down the launch window for GTA VI.

What’s the Connection?
During the State of Play, Gearbox announced that Borderlands 4 is set to release in September 2025. This is significant because Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of both Rockstar Games and Gearbox, previously confirmed that GTA VI would launch before Borderlands 4.
While this isn’t an official confirmation, it suggests that GTA VI could arrive in early Fall 2025, potentially just a few weeks before Borderlands 4.
What Does This Mean for GTA 6?
Take-Two has repeatedly stated that GTA VI is on track for a Fall 2025 release, but the Borderlands 4 announcement provides a more specific timeframe. If the looter shooter is set for September, GTA VI could launch in August or early September, barring any delays.
Why the Hype?
GTA VI is one of the most anticipated games of all time, promising a return to Vice City and a fresh take on the series with dual protagonists Jason and Lucia. The game is expected to break records and set new standards for open-world gaming.
What’s Next?
With the release window seemingly narrowed down, fans are hopeful for more updates soon. A second trailer or gameplay reveal could be on the horizon, especially as Rockstar ramps up its marketing efforts.
