‘GTA 6’ on Course for Fall 2025, Take-Two CEO Says

Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer Take-Two Interactive reported its quarterly earnings results for October to December 2024 on Thursday, which once again did not include a specific release date for “Grand Theft Auto 6.” However, the owner of Rockstar Games assures “GTA 6” is still on track for its previously announced fall 2025 window. “We’ve announced a pretty narrow window.

So I think our view is that right now, that’s fine,” Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick told Variety Thursday ahead of the video game company’s latest quarterly earnings results release. “And then when it’s appropriate, of course, Rockstar is going to have more to say.” What has moved since the last time Take-Two reported earnings is the release date for “Borderlands 4,” which has switched from a slot in the company’s fiscal year 2026 (April 1, 2025-March 31, 2026) to within calendar 2025.

On that front, Zelnick says “you will have a date soon, and then all will become clear,” in regards to how the title will slot in around “Mafia: The Old Country” releasing this summer and “GTA 6” coming in the fall.

Overall, Zelnick says the 2025 calendar is Take-Two’s “most extraordinarily exciting release schedule I think we’ve ever had.” “Because we have our annualized titles, plus all these sequels coming from 2K, plus our live services, plus ‘Match Factory!’ and other titles from Zynga, plus ‘Borderlands 4,’ ‘Mafia,’ the list continues,” Zelnick said. “So I’m not sure we’ve ever had a more exciting lineup.
