Grand Theft Auto 6 is unquestionably the most anticipated game of all time, with its initial trailer becoming the most-watched non-music video ever and fans impatiently expecting additional information about the game.
The clip, which appeared at the end of last year, revealed that Rockstar intended to release the game in 2025, but no specific date was provided, causing even more intrigue among gamers.
Strauss Zelnick was asked about the GTA 6 launch and when the game would be released at Take-Two’s Q3 2024 earnings call.
GTA 6 Developers Want “Perfection” Before the 2025 Release
According to Zelnick, no single person will decide to release GTA VI, as everyone is “in this together.”
“We’re seeking perfection. When we feel that we’ve optimized this, we’ll plan for release,” he stated. “We’re in this together. We have profit-sharing plans at the company, our goal is to align everyone’s interest with the shareholders.”
Q Who makes the call around GTA 6 launch? What would influence that decision?

These sentiments match Zelnick’s prior pronouncements, in which the CEO stated that Rockstar is determined to “set creative benchmarks for the series, industry, and entertainment,” as well as “exceed players’ expectations.”
Unfortunately, this appears to indicate that Rockstar may delay the release of GTA 6 if the game is not up to its top standards by 2025.
Early GTA 6 leaks have already shown how Rockstar is moving the brand ahead with improved visuals, new features, and the expansion of the Grand Theft Auto universe.
Expect to discover more about GTA 6 in the coming months, as fans eagerly await a second video that will disclose even more about Vice City, the game’s protagonists, and gameplay mechanics.
