Even GTA 6 aside, it was clear even last year that 2025 was going to be a packed year for game releases, but there's no doubt that⛎ the next Grand Theft Auto game was the big one for many.
Back in February, the CEO of Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive, Strauss Zelnick, said "we feel really good" about the planned 2025 release, but acknowledged that "there's always a risk of s𒐪lippag𒀰e." Unfortunately, that's exactly what's happened.

Coincidentally, just this week, Borderlands 4 got its release date moved forward by 11 days, which prompted many to speculate that since Gearbox is also owned by Take-Two, perhaps this could help narrow down GTA 6's release date. Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford was quick to say that this wasn't the case, and later doubled down to say he had no "insider information about some other game launch."
Here's hoping that GTA 6 will be worth the wait when it's eventually here. At least we can officially mark our calendars now – there's just over a year to 💙go. Hang in there, folks.
