GTA 6: Still Targeting Fall 2025

Grand Theft Auto VI remains on track for a Fall 2025 launch. During Take-Two Interactive's Q3 Earnings Conference Call on February 7th, 2025, CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed strong confidence in this timeframe.

This includes the Early Access launch of Sid Meier’s Civilization VII (with full release February 11th), Mafia: The Old Country (Summer release), Grand Theft Auto VI (Fall release), and Borderlands 4 (before year-end). Zelnick expressed considerable optimism regarding the commercial potential of these titles, anticipating a significant positive impact on the company's performance and the industry as a whole. Looking further ahead, Take-Two projects record-breaking net bookings in Fiscal 2026 and 2027.

GTA 5's Continued Dominance and Other Success Stories

The Grand Theft Auto franchise continues its reign, with GTA 5 surpassing 210 million units sold globally. GTA Online also enjoyed a strong quarter, boosted by the "Agents of Sabotage" holiday update and continued growth of its subscription service, GTA+. Other titles also performed exceptionally well: NBA 2K25 sold over 7 million units, showcasing significant increases in player engagement metrics. Red Dead Redemption 2, having sold over 70 million units, continues to attract new players and boasts record concurrent player numbers on Steam (99,993 according to SteamDB).

Speculation surrounding Steven Ogg, the actor who portrayed Trevor in GTA 5, and his feelings towards the character has been addressed. In an interview on the Inside You podcast, Ogg clarified that he doesn't hate the character, but simply prefers not to be called Trevor outside of his professional life. He expressed his appreciation for the character and maintained his friendship with the actors who played Franklin and Michael. While he previously mused about Trevor's potential appearance (and demise) in GTA 6, he confirmed he hasn't recorded any lines for the upcoming game.
