GTA 6 is officially scheduled for release in Fall 2025 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, as confirmed by parent company Take-Two. This announcement comes in the wake of Gearbox’s recent reveal of a release date for Borderlands 4, which is set for September 23, 2025. Given that both titles share a parent company, the timing has raised questions regarding their respective release schedules.
Take-Two has indicated its commitment to the Fall 2025 timeframe for GTA 6. The company aims to avoid overlapping major releases, as noted by its president. This strategy is intended to maximize sales for both franchises, particularly since Borderlands has been a significant success for Take-Two’s 2K Games division.
Potential Release Window
Considering the release of Borderlands 4 just one day after the official start of Fall, speculation suggests that GTA 6 could launch sometime in mid to late October 2025. November is another possibility, but major releases around Thanksgiving are uncommon.
Market Competition
The competitive landscape for Fall 2025 is shaping up to be intense, with other major titles expected to launch around the same period. Activision is likely to release its annual Call of Duty title, and EA is rumored to be eyeing an October 2025 release for Battlefield 6. Rival publishers are reportedly delaying announcements for their own games until GTA 6’s release date is confirmed.
Concerns Over Delays
Historically, Rockstar Games has faced delays with its releases, and there are concerns that GTA 6 may follow suit. Internal reports suggest that the game has missed multiple development deadlines, leading to speculation about a potential delay from its announced Fall 2025 window.
Looking Ahead
The first trailer for GTA 6 was released in December 2023, but there has been a notable lack of updates since then. Take-Two’s next earnings report in May 2025 could provide new information regarding the game’s status, including potential delays.
