The highly anticipated title is confirmed to launch in the fall of 2025, specifically between September and November. In this article, we will discuss further about the upcoming GTA 6 in more detail.
GTA 6 Rumors
Release Date
The release date was officially announced by Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, during its quarterly earnings report for FY23. A trailer for GTA 6, which leaked online in December, has already garnered over 190 million views on YouTube, showcasing the immense anticipation surrounding the game.
Development and Cost
GTA 6 has been in development for an extended period, which could mean that GTA 6, not only took a lot of time but also a massive amount of capital has been injected into the game. Gaming analysts have speculated that GTA 6 might just be “the most expensive game ever made.”
While fans eagerly await the new release, GTA 5 continues to be a major revenue source for Take-Two Interactive. The game has sold an impressive 200 million units worldwide since its release over a decade ago, remaining the second best-selling video game of all time, behind Minecraft.
Market Impact and Gameplay
The fall 2025 release window might be a setback for console platform companies and game retailers who hoped for an earlier release to boost sales. However, the extended development time allows Rockstar to deliver a polished and complete experience.
Morvoer, GTA 6 will feature two playable protagonists, and Rockstar aims to build upon the success of GTA Online, the popular multiplayer mode from GTA 5, while ensuring that the story mode remains a primary focus.
