Take-Two releases statement on GTA 6 release date: 'We want to keep the excitement alive'

The eager wait continues for GTA 6, the new game in the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series, one of the most well-known franchises in the gaming world. While uncertainty regarding the game's release date persists, Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two, the parent company of the developer Rockstar Games, has explained the reason behind this strategy.

ZELNICK: WE WANT TO KEEP THE EXCITEMENT ALIVE

Speaking to Bloomberg, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick stated that the interest in GTA 6 is the highest level of anticipation he has ever seen for an entertainment product. He expressed that the fact that the release date has not yet been announced is part of a strategy to keep excitement and anticipation high.

WHY IS THE RELEASE DATE NOT BEING ANNOUNCED?

Zelnick said that while some game companies announce release dates years in advance, Take-Two has adopted a different approach. He noted that they believe sharing marketing materials closer to the game's release date allows them to better manage the excitement.

WHEN WILL GTA 6 BE RELEASED?

The exact release date of the game has not yet been announced. As of March 2025, the only known detail is that GTA 6 is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2025. It is hoped that the second trailer, expected to be released in the coming months, will clear up this uncertainty.
