A question on every GTA fan’s mind: when will GTA 6 be released? Even while there hasn’t been a formal, firm response as of yet, the tension has been heightened by rumors, leaks, and fascinating clues.
What We Know
A teaser featuring well-known locations and the phrase “coming 2025” was used to formally announce the release of GTA 6 in December 2023.
2025 is the target
This is the only official information we have regarding the release timeframe. While the precise dates are uncertain, we do know that a 2025 release window is the target.
Console exclusive (for now)
According to the announcement, the game’s launch devices would be the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Given Rockstar’s usual PC porting approach, even if a PC release date hasn’t been announced, it may come out around a year later.
What We Don’t Know
We are not certain about the specific month or day, not even with the 2025 timescale. Although there has been no official announcement, there are speculations that it will be out in early 2025 or even around the holidays.
Details about the game
Specific features, gameplay mechanics, and story details are currently unclear, however, the teaser showed some interesting places and characters.
PC release date
As said earlier, the exact release date for players on PCs is still uncertain, although past trends suggest that 2026 will most likely be the year.
Jokes aside though, Rockstar already told us the GTA 6 release date last year🥱 https://t.co/pTwFRiZgl7 pic.twitter.com/rH8HfZ05kF

What We Can Expect
Anticipating a 2024 marketing ramp-up makes sense, considering the 2025 release window. Trailers, glimpses into gameplay, and more specific information should be made public as the year goes on.
Potential delays
Although 2025 is the current goal, there are usually unexpected challenges when developing a game. Although ideally not the case, there is always a chance of slight delays within the 2025 timeline.
Hype Machine
GTA 6 is probably going to be another one of Rockstar’s brilliant marketing strategies. To maintain the excitement throughout 2024, anticipate a constant flow of updates, teases, and community involvement.

So, is the GTA 6 release date confirmed? Not in the strictest sense. We have a timeframe, but no specific date.
However, with 2025 being the official target and more information expected throughout the year, GTA fans can finally start counting down the months with some certainty. Just keep in mind, that unexpected delays are always a possibility in the world of game development.
Until then, stay tuned for official announcements, soak in the speculation, and prepare to dive back into the thrilling world of Grand Theft Auto!
