In a conversation with Zelnick ahead of the announcement, IGN asked him what had changed in the year since he first said he felt confident in the Fall 2025 date. Zelnick replied,:
"It’s- it's all of 2025. We’ve had more time to develop the title. And so we are getting closer to the release. We are grateful that it is still within the same fiscal year. And mostly we’re grateful to Rockstar for constantly seeking perfection."
It's not exactly a surprise that GTA 6 has been delayed again, given the studio's past record of delays. And while most fans are prepared to wait patiently for GTA 6 regardless of when it drops, some fans are taking the news a little bit hard
On a call with investors today, Zelnick also said players shouldn't expect any changes to the cadence of updates to GTA Online due to GTA 6's delay. We also spoke to him about how confident he actually is in the new release date.
Just last week, Take-Two fired dozens of employees, alleging "gross misconduct" and, later, leaking "confidential information in a public forum."
However, those employees claim they were instead fired for participating in online chats about organizing a union. The group and supporters protested in front of Rockstar North and Take-Two's UK offices today.Take-Two reported net bookings of $1.96 billion in the best second quarter in company history thanks to the releases of NBA 2K26, Mafia: The Old Country, and Borderlands 4.
NBA 2K26 has sold five million units since launch. GTA V continues to sell, having reached over 220 million units.
