GTA 6 Release Before April 2025 Is Unlikely, Suggests Take-Two Earnings Guidance
Wedbush Securities’ Nick McKay and Michael Pachter have said that the Grand Theft Auto 6 release is unlikely to happen before April 2025, based on Take-Two‘s latest earning guidance.
The publisher overnight revised its guidance for April — March 2025 FY25 period, suggesting that GTA 6 isn’t going to make it out until a later date.
We can only surmise that GTA VI 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,” they added.
The drop makes us almost certain that GTA VI 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.

Speaking during the same earnings call, Take-Two revealed that developer Rockstar Games is “seeking perfection” for GTA 6, so it won’t be released until the team is absolutely satisfied with the final production. Regardless, it’s important to remember that an exact launch date for GTA 6 hasn’t been announced other than a vague 2025 window.
