GTA 6 Release Date Update Coming Soon – What to Expect

by

Rockstar Games fans finally have a date to circle on their calendars. Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent company, will provide an official update on GTA 6’s planned Q4 2025 release window during their May 15 earnings call at 4:30 PM ET.

This confirmation comes via Indy100’s Jake Brigstock, who notes that Take-Two’s pre-call documentation typically reveals whether major titles like Grand Theft Auto VI are still on track. With only about six months remaining in 2025 by the time of the call, this update could be crucial in setting expectations.

GTA 6 Release Date Update Coming Soon – What to Expect

Why Some Fans Are Nervous

While many hope for a firm release date announcement, recent comments from a former Rockstar developer have tempered expectations. Obbe Vermeij, who worked as a Technical Director on GTA: San Andreas and GTA IV, revealed that Rockstar didn’t delay GTA V until just four months before its original launch date.

This history suggests that even if Take-Two reaffirms a 2025 release next week, a last-minute delay remains possible. As Vermeij put it, developers often can’t predict delays until very late in production.

What to Expect from the May 15 Update

Take-Two’s earnings call could go one of three ways:

  1. Confirmation of a Late 2025 Release – The game is still on track for Q4 (Oct-Dec).
  2. A Delay Announcement – Pushing Grand Theft Auto VI into early 2026.
  3. A Vague Reaffirmation – No exact date, just a promise it’s “coming soon.”

Given Rockstar’s tendency to delay games for polish, fans should brace for any outcome.

Why Rockstar Might Delay GTA 6

Several factors could influence a potential delay:

  • Technical Ambitions – Rumors suggest GTA 6 is pushing hardware limits with advanced AI and physics.
  • Online Integration – GTA Online 2.0 needs to be flawless at launch.
  • Avoiding Cyberpunk’s Mistakes – Rockstar won’t risk an unfinished release.
