Despite occasional rumors or speculations that GTA 6 will be delayed, Take-Two has provided positive news regarding the game’s launch: No, it won’t be postponed.
During the company’s Q3 FY25 Earnings Call, which you can read the transcript of here, the company expressed great optimism about its planned pipeline for fiscal 2026, including “Grand Theft Auto VI launching this fall.”
What also remains unchanged is the platform on which the game will be available. Console players only need to learn the specific release date to prepare themselves, while PC players are still waiting for a word on if the game will be available on PC, and if so, when. Although Take-Two’s CEO Strauss Zelnick said that the PC platform would grow and that it would not be complicated for the company to support it, so far, there has been no answer.
Regarding sticking with the announced release window, Zelnick also shares this positivity with IGN, saying that although the risk of delay is always there, the developers “feel really good about it.” He discusses the anticipation and pressure they faced while preparing for the release of such a highly anticipated game:
“Look, I think the game is eagerly anticipated both internally and externally. We know that Rockstar seeks perfection. I never claim success before it occurs. I’m fond of saying arrogance is the enemy of continued success, so we’re all running scared and looking over our shoulders and we know that the competition is not asleep. Our whole organization is super excited.”
The Earnings Call also acknowledged the franchise’s status, saying that “The Grand Theft Auto series remains our industry’s standard bearer for excellence.” According to Take-Two, Grand Theft Auto V has sold more than 210 million copies in its lifetime.
