GTA 6 has been in development for over a decade, but we didn’t get our first look until recently.
Rockstar first announced that the game was in development in February 2022, with the first trailer shown in December 2023.
At that time, the trailer revealed that GTA 6 would be released in 2025, but fans managed to narrow it down further.
Thanks to publisher Take-Two’s financial report, people believed it had to be in early 2025, between January and April.
However, Take-Two recently posted more information, which leads us to believe that the release window has changed.
The latest financial report places the GTA 6 release date as late 2025 from around September to November.
This is a popular release window for games, as people often make big purchases for the holidays.
It appears the change in release date is due to internal delays, which would make sense given the differences in the financial reports.
This can be for a number of reasons, including bug fixes and changes to the game’s scope.
It is very normal for delays like this to occur internally, and it is why Rockstar gave a very vague release date in the trailer.
This way the studio doesn’t have to give fans an official delay, which could be received poorly.
There is no news on when we’ll get an official update from Rockstar on the progress of the game, but it seems that fans will have to wait a while longer before they can get their hands on it.
