GTA 6 talks about release in 2025 and the entire industry listens

On February 6, 2025, the so-called Earning’s call for the new financial report from Take-Two took place. It is clear that there were also upcoming blockbuster releases such as GTA 6 and Borderlands 4.

What did Take-Two say? Here is the most important findings from the new financial report of the publisher (via ir.take2games.com):

  • The net bookings from the 3rd quarter of 2025 in the amount of $ 1.372 billion are within expectations. This is particularly due to the NBA2K franchise, which was able to grow again by 30 percent. The mobile area only grew slightly (6 percent), but the sales by GTA online fall.
  • With Civilization 7, PGA Tour 2K25 and WWE 2K25 you have three important release in the first quarter of the year. At least three more should follow this year.
  • Take-Two confirms that the Development of GTA 6 is on course and the autumn 2025 is still being targeted as a release – the time from September to November 2025.
  • A little earlier, in the summer of 2025, Mafia: The Old Country is to appear.
  • Borderlands 4 is also planned for 2025.
  • The other two, already announced projects Judas and Project Ethos are still on “TBA”.
  • The first trailer for GTA 6:

    So big that everything is influenced by it

    Why is this confirmation so important? When Rockstar Games releases a new part of the popular GTA series, state of emergency is announced. This has shown past releases and this results from the incredible success of GTA 5. For months, various insiders from the industry have been certain:

    But there is another lesson from the past: If Rockstar Games and Take-Two announce a release period for an extensive, complex game like GTA, the chances have so far been high that this period has to be adjusted at least once.

    For example, GTA 5 has been postponed several times. During the rumor mill, reports about a possible shift of the 6th part to 2026 were circulating in the rumor.

    At the same time, strategy meetings are likely to be due to some decision-makers: do we dare and do we compete with GTA 6 or do we avoid autumn? Quite a few titles are likely to switch to December or January. The fact that Take-Two still does not reveal a specific appointment certainly does not make the planning easier. Incidentally, there was a supposed leak for the release of GTA 6, which is happening in autumn.
