GTA 6 release date uncertainty delays 2025 plans for game publishers

The release date for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) remains uncertain, causing delays for other game publishers in finalizing their 2025 plans. Take-Two Interactive has not confirmed when the game will launch, leading to caution in the industry. GTA 6 is currently expected in fall 2025, but the lack of updates from Rockstar Games has left many unsure. Publishers are hesitant to schedule their own releases, fearing that GTA 6 could overshadow them if it launches later. Despite the uncertainty, the trailer for GTA 6 has generated significant excitement, becoming the second most-watched video game trailer ever. However, it has also led to frustration among some players due to initial exclusivity on certain consoles.
