This assurance comes directly from CEO Strauss Zelnick, who maintains confidence in the timeline amidst a backdrop of industry anticipation and strategic publishing changes by competitors.
Grand Theft Auto 6’s projected release continues to capture considerable attention, influencing strategic decisions from other major players in the gaming world.

According to Zelnick, the drive for quality remains a top priority, with an internal culture emphasizing humility and vigilance over complacency.
The anticipation surrounding GTA 6 is set against a backdrop of Take-Two’s broader 2025 portfolio, which includes major releases like Civilization 7, PGA Tour 2K25, and Borderlands 4.
