According to Take-Two's financial forecast, GTA VI will not be launched before April 2025

Following the highly anticipated official announcement in December, GTA VI's launch window has been set for 2025, as confirmed by Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, in its recent quarterly financial report. However, the exact release date is still unknown, although we have recently potentially reduced the release window slightly.

Here's What We Know

Take-Two's updated fiscal 2024/25 outlook, which indicates a revision to net orders to $7 billion from the previously projected $8 billion, suggests a potential delay in release until at least April 2025.

Industry analysts Nick McKay and Michael Pachter of Wedbush Securities interpret this adjustment as a sign that GTA 6 may not be released until the beginning of the next fiscal year, i.e. from 1 April 2025. In their analytical note, they note:

"We can only surmise that GTA 6 has slipped out of FY:25, in-line with our earlier expectation. Management had said that next year’s bookings number will be just over $7 billion, a far cry from its initial comments of $8 billion in May, and its first revision of just under $8 billion in November. The drop makes us almost certain that GTA 6 will not be releasing next FY. With that said, we have no reason to believe the game has slipped out of calendar 2025, but it is reasonable to assume that it will launch later in the year."
