The internet is full of GTA 6 rumors. With the developers at Rockstar Games taking their sweet time to develop the game, fans are left desiring for more. Many fans have started to form their own theories as to when the game will be released. But now it looks like fans are also getting tired of speculating the release date of the game.
10 years following the release of its predecessor, fans are still waiting for any official word about the next game. There were some major leaks previously. However, the latest leak comes from the CEO of Take-Two himself. This rumor suggests fans would not have to wait long for the game. But like all GTA 6 news, fans have started to doubt this theory too.
Take-Two CEO reveals the release window of GTA 6

In August 2023, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick went on the show Squawk on the Street for an interview. During the interview, the topic of Grand Theft Auto came up. When asked about the shipping date of GTA 6, Zelnick gave a diplomatic reply, stating, “We leave the announcements about upcoming titles to our labels and we have said we have a very robust pipeline of titles.”
He also expects to generate $8B. This can only be achieved by GTAVI for these reasons:
– T2’s revenue was $3B a year before acquiring Zynga.
– After Zynga, it increased to $5.3B.
– $2.7B would still be missing.
– Not even GTAV made that amount in the first year (only made ~$2B). pic.twitter.com/wNz8Q4PxIS— GTA 6 Trailer Countdown ⏳ (@GTAVI_Countdown) October 7, 2023
However, he did allegedly reveal the release window of the game. He said, “We haven’t spoken about the specific release schedule but we have titles coming from all of our labels.” In the interview, Zelnick was primarily talking about the FY25 year. So if the words of the Take-Two CEO are to be believed, Rockstar Games is planning the release between April 2024 and March 2025.
While the claim comes directly from Take-Two’s CEO, readers should take this information with a grain of salt. And looking at the reception given by the netizens, it looks like they are already skeptical about the statement given by Zelnick.
Fans still doubt whether the game will come out next year or not
Although Zelnick claims the title is coming in FY25, fans are still in disbelief. They have taken to X to voice their concerns.
Fans have been waiting since 2013. And even this is just a leak at best. So one user has replied to the post in hysterical fashion. The user said, “You still believe there is gta6” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Another fan joined in the skepticism and claimed Rockstar Games will release remasters again.

A fan even speculated GTA 6 could even come out as late as 2026!
Fall 2025 or even fall 2026

On the other hand, some fans showcased hope of early release, citing profits as their reason.
Titles from all labels confirms that R* will release a game in fiscal 2025.
Could be a re release or GTA 6.
Or both.
T2 cannot possibly earn 8 billion in one year without a new GTA. Even Zynga cannot generate that much. It has to GTA 6— Jason from Gta 6 (@jasonfromgta6) October 7, 2023

But one fan claimed Zynga would be enough to cover for Rockstar Games if they did not release GTA 6.
Zynga is the most cash maker tbh All labels can includes Mafia, and also any other Rockstar game (remaster or another port)
