In some ways we can’t believe we’re even writing this sentence, but this time next year, you could already be playing GTA 6.
The anticipated open worlder has always had a tentative release date of 2025 attached, and Take-Two insists it’ll be out “in the fall of calendar 2025”. That’s more or less 12 months away.
Now, of course, there’s still time for plans to change. Rockstar could hit some unforeseen development snags, and may need to keep the release in the oven for a little longer. But as of right now, the title is on track.
The imminent arrival of GTA 6 is not affecting sales of its decade-old predecessor, though. GTA 5 has now sold an absolutely mesmerising 205 million copies, and engagement with GTA Online remains strong, following the introduction of new content throughout the year.
“GTA Online exceeded our plans, driven by sustained engagement with the summer content pack Bottom Dollar Bounties and an array of updates, including the new multistage Assault on ATT-16 mode,” bigwig Strauss Zelnick told investors.
One thing of note is that GTA+ subscriptions jumped by 35% this year, after Rockstar made the controversial decision to lock some oft-requested gameplay features behind the pricey monthly membership. All of this is good news for Take Two’s stock price, of course – but not-so good news for players.

I got sent a long questionnaire from Rockstar last night asking about opinions on GTA online. Clearly gathering feedback for what to do in 6.

You seem to have missed out the word "Pro" in this one headline 😛
Very curious and excited to see how the Pro version will be.
I wonder if Rockstar is still glad they're not releasing this in the Trump era.
Yep shall be playing it on Pro to get the optimum experience.
It's been a good long while since I took a day off work to play a new game.
When this game releases it will definitely be one of those occasions
Having just gone back through IV (& back through V 2 years ago) I’m hyped! I do have a couple of concerns about some of the lead creatives having left and such but… I can’t help but hope R* hit yet another home-run.
It's gonna get delayed into 2026 and the meltdown the internet will have is gonna be hilarious
I'm looking forward to exploring the radio stations for top tunes just as much as exploring Vice City itself. Can't bloody wait.
@Ravix My brain read “Pro” as the last word in the title. Still can’t believe I read an entire article without it even being mentioned. Remarkable.
Nope.
Voting with my wallet on this one. Cannot support Rockstar any more.
Unfortunate that GTA+ subscriptions are up but there will always be those gullible enough to buy-in. Despite that, GTA VI remains my most anticipated entertainment product, maybe ever? RDR II had such a profound impact on me and I can't wait to see what Rockstar's been cooking up. The second trailer should drop soon if they follow their typical PR cycle.
This game is going to be one of the most consumed pieces of media in human history. It's going to sell an unbelievable number of copies, and it will be in the zeitgeist like nothing else we've seen
incoming first £100 game
@NathanKang Ive been calling for March 2026 for a while now.
With how the games industry is evolving I will need to remortgage my house to buy the game and all the subscription services I need to even play it 😅
It's not going to be.
This time next year Martians could land in a Morrison’s car park in Slough.
Can’t wait for Rockstar to likely be the one that makes the rumor of increased price on games across the industry a reality!
Grand theft auto 5 is a instant classic..grand theft auto 6 is going to be another instant classic.word up son
