Is GTA 6 launch date really going to be during the Fall of 2025? Well, the very definition of "the Fall" stretches over quite a few months. In fact, it starts from September 1 and goes on to November 30. So, when can we say that GTA 6 launch date delay has actually kicked in? September looks to be totally out of question for a GTA 6 launch simply because of the launch of Borderlands 4 on 23rd of the month. It may have also reduced the chances of a release date being announced for October as Borderlands launches almost at the end of September.

And then there is the question of the launch of GTA 6 trailer 2. No sign of it has been seen. Some reports are indicating GTA 6 trailer 2 may roll out sometime at the end of March or early April and the latest one to "figure" that out is GTA VI O'Clock.

There is also the Take-Two CEO, Strauss Zelnick, Rockstar's parent company, saying, "...there's always a risk of slippages," while speaking to IGN about GTA 6 launch date.

There is this big GTA 5 upgrade to take into consideration too. Rockstar just rolled out a massive GTA 5 PC upgrade. The timing is actually horrendous. Soon as this was done, it intrinsically indicated that GTA 6 launch date announcement has been delayed indefinitely. Why would a company roll out such a massive GTA 5 upgrade when it is set to launch the brand new GTA 6? GTA 6 would most likely be killing off GTA 5.

Put together, these 4 pointers, Zelnick quote, Borderlands 4 launch, GTA 6 trailer 2 release, and GTA 5 enhanced PC upgrade may actually hint that GTA 6 release date announcement may be delayed to sometime in November, 2025.

That is the earliest it may launch and also, do remember some vaunted analysts have already indicated the game may well have ben delayed into 2026. Considering that Take-Two has waited for over a decade to actually talk about GTA 6 launch and indicated its likely roll out date, waiting another few months is not totally out of the question.

In effect, Take-Two believes that GTA 5 is still selling like hot cakes and that, no matter what it does with GTA 6 launch date, the old game will ensure its revenues keep rising. In an investor presentation, Take-Two had said, "Grand Theft Auto V was the best-selling game of the past decade in the U.S., based on both unit and dollar sales, according to the NPD Group."

So, which way is the wind blowing? On the positive side, at the most that we have to go on is another Zelnick quote about the Fall 2025 launch date. He said, "Feel really good about it".
