GTA 6 Release Date: New Report Suggests October 2025 Launch

The anticipation for Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is at an all-time high. Since the release of its first trailer over a year ago, fans have been eagerly speculating about its official launch date. Now, a new report from Kotaku suggests that the game could arrive on or before October 28, 2025, offering a more precise timeline within Rockstar's previously confirmed Fall 2025 window.

GTA 6 Expected to Launch in Late October 2025

According to Kotaku’s report, GTA 6 is unlikely to be delayed into 2026. Take-Two Interactive’s CEO, Strauss Zelnick, previously told IGN that the company remains committed to its Fall 2025 release schedule.

The report highlights that October 28, 2025, falls on the last Tuesday of the month, a day Rockstar Games has historically favored for major game releases. This suggests that Rockstar may follow its traditional pattern with GTA 6’s launch.

Why September Seems Unlikely for GTA 6’s Release

Earlier speculations pointed to a possible September release, but Kotaku’s report challenges this. Fall officially begins on September 22, and with Borderlands 4 scheduled for release the next day, Rockstar might opt to avoid a launch in the same timeframe. Additionally, October and November have been significant months for blockbuster game releases, including Call of Duty titles, making them prime candidates for GTA 6’s debut.

PC Release Might Be Sooner Than Expected

Traditionally, PC versions of GTA games have been released much later than their console counterparts. However, industry speculation suggests that Rockstar may deviate from this pattern, potentially bringing GTA 6 to PC sooner than expected.

As excitement continues to build, fans eagerly await official confirmation from Rockstar Games regarding the exact launch date. Stay tuned for more updates on GTA 6’s release and other gaming news.
