The countdown to a much anticipated launch for Grand Theft Auto 6 could hit a final point on the 15th of May. With a release currently in place for Fall 2025, fans and industry insiders are closely monitoring whether Take-Two will stand behind the timeline or announce a delay that has been quietly rumored for a while.

‘Mark the calendar', GTA fans look forward to possible update

More than 500 days have passed since the reveal trailer of GTA 6 premiered on December 4, 2023. Since then, Rockstar has gone completely silent with literally nothing else in the form of new screenshots, details of gameplay, or even a second teaser. This lack of information has created speculation that the game may not make its launch window, possibly being delayed until 2026.
The long silence has had many wondering if Rockstar's marketing strategy has changed or if internal delays are forcing the studio to keep its cards close to themselves. Take-Two's CEO recently stated that there would be a 2025 launch but gave the possibility of delays in game development.

Some analysts point to May 15 as a critical day for Rockstar's communication plan. If the firm remains on track, the earnings call may increase in the Fall 2025 release window.
Contributing even more pressure is the ripple effect GTA 6 has on the wider gaming landscape. Several major publishers are rumored to have been reshuffling their release schedules in a bid to avoid launching their own games anywhere close to Rockstar's behemoth. As one source in the industry put it, "No one wants to be anywhere near GTA 6," indicating the effects that release will have across the board.

Whether or not Rockstar will break its silence, or will keep fans guessing for another while, all eyes are on May 15. Regardless, the next chapter of GTA 6's story is about to unfold with ears from the gaming world eagerly listening.
