GTA 6 is inarguably, the most anticipated game ever. And with Rockstar taking over a decade to roll it out, the excitement and anticipation has only risen. This is in no small part due to the ever-green popularity of GTA 5. And this gaming community just can't wait to put the upcoming game through its paces. Players are hoping that Rockstar Games will announce the official release date soon. Fans have been speculating as to when the much-anticipated game will come since the first trailer dropped over a year ago. New reports suggest that GTA 6 could be dropped as early as October, 2025. The date that is being bandied about is 28th.
Reports Suggest Late October Release
According to a recent Kotaku report, the game will be released in late October 2025, with October 28 being the most likely date. This new information allows us to further narrow the date, as Rockstar has already confirmed a Fall 2025 release on multiple occasions. Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, also indicated that the game will launch in the fall of 2025 and that a delay into 2026 is unlikely. But not impossible.

Rockstar's History Supports the Timeline
Rockstar Games has a pattern of releasing major titles in late October. The report highlights that October 28, 2025, falls on the last Tuesday of the month, a timeframe that aligns with previous Rockstar releases. While fans continue to speculate, this adds weight to the possibility of an October launch. Yes, many were expecting a September launch date for GTA 6, but the announcement that Borderlands 4 will launch on Sep. 23, put an end to that specific rumor. The reason being that Take-Two would not want anything to take the attention away from GTA 6 launch.
