Take-Two Interactive Looks To Have One Of Its Strongest Years
GTA 6 Release Window Still On Fall 2025
Excitement is building as *Grand Theft Auto 6* remains on schedule for a Fall 2025 release. During their Q3 Earnings Conference Call on February 7, 2025, Take-Two Interactive shared insights into their current status and upcoming releases for the year. CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed his confidence in the planned release, although he acknowledged the inherent risks in game development, saying, "Look, there's always a risk of slippage and I think as soon as you say words like absolutely, you jinx things." Despite this, Zelnick remains optimistic, stating, "We feel really good about it." He refrained from discussing GTA 6's development specifics, emphasizing Rockstar's pursuit of perfection and the competitive nature of the industry, "We know that Rockstar seeks perfection. I never claim success before it occurs. I'm fond of saying arrogance is the enemy of continued success, so we're all running scared and looking over our shoulders and we know that the competition is not asleep. Our whole organization is super excited."
