GTA 6 is the big release that the gaming world is waiting for in 2025. But Borderlands also has a loyal fan base and so the release of the loot shooter also evokes some expectations. The head of the parent company has a plan so that the two coveted games do not get in the way.
Who is it about? GTA 6 is published by Take-Two Interactive-just like the upcoming loot shooter Borderlands 4. Both GTA developer Rockstar Games and Borderlands developer Gearbox software are subsidiaries of the American publishers.
The CEO of Take-Two, Strauss Zelnick, has now given an insight into the release plan of both games in an interview with IGN and thus indirectly narrowed down the release date for GTA 6.

Take-Two wants you to play a lot of time
What does the boss say for release planning? In the interview, Zelnick was asked whether Borderlands 4 and GTA 6 could harm each other because the release of both games was too close together.
The release of Borderlands 4 is on September 23, 2025. This announced Gearbox software on February 12, 2025 at Sony’s State of Play. GTA 6 should also be released in autumn 2025 – at least that’s how the current status is.
Zelnick replied that Take-Two calculates the releases so that players have enough time to play both games: “No, I think we will plan the publications so that this is not a problem. […] So we have a good feeling with us, and I think we’ll be so tied that we respect the need for consumers to spend a lot of time with these hit games before turning to the next. “
What does this mean for the release of GTA 6? If we assume that GTA 6 should really be released in 2025, as Take-Two recently confirmed again, the statement of the CEO delimits the possible release period of GTA 6.
Briefly again the facts:
In theory, GTA 6 must theoretically appear at some point between September 1st and December 21st. However, since Borderlands 4 appears in September, the month actually falls out-at least if we believe that Take-Two believes enough time to gamble from Borderland’s 4.
For a possible release of GTA 6 in 2025, only the months of October, November and December remain, although October could also remain free for Borderlands 4, after all, the loot shooter will not come until the end of September. Experience has shown that the weeks before Christmas are rather unlikely for such a large release as GTA 6.
Before you now put all your vacation days on November, make sure that experts and industry insiders assume that GTA 6 will be postponed. Some expect a release in 2026: Insider is certain that the release of GTA 6 is postponed
