Huge GTA 6 release date update: ‘Groundbreaking’ sequel to ‘set new standards’

Take-Two Interactive has finally shed some light on the Grand Theft Auto 6 release date. The parent company of Rockstar Games recently announced its financial results for the 2023 fiscal year, confirming higher than expected net bookings of $5.3 billion. Take-Two has even bigger plans for the 2025 fiscal year (April 2024 to March 2025), predicting a whopping $8 billion in net bookings for the 12 month period. Describing fiscal 2025 as a “highly anticipated year for the company”, Take-Two will release “several groundbreaking titles” between April 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025. The company is almost certainly referring to Grand Theft Auto 6, which based on the statement, could launch as early as next April.

“Fiscal 2025 is a highly anticipated year for our Company,” Take-Two explains. “For the last several years, we have been preparing our business to release an incredibly robust pipeline of projects that we believe will take our company to even greater levels of success.

“In Fiscal 2025, we expect to enter this new era by launching several groundbreaking titles that we believe will set new standards in our industry and enable us to achieve over $8 billion in Net Bookings and over $1 billion in Adjusted Unrestricted Operating Cash Flow.”

With GTA 6 launching at some point within the next two years, it’s highly likely Rockstar will officially unveil the game in 2023.

GTA 5 was announced nearly two years before launching in September 2013, so don’t be surprised if Rockstar debuts a trailer this summer.

Of course, we already know a little bit about the next Grand Theft Auto, following a huge leak last year.

Judging by the leaks, it looks like the new Grand Theft Auto will take place in Vice City, and will feature male and female playable characters.

In one scene the characters were shown robbing a diner, which backs up earlier reports of a Bonnie and Clyde-style dynamic.

Another leak suggests Grand Theft Auto 6 will feature multiple drag racing strips, as well as at least one farm.
