Rockstar Games' long‑awaited Grand Theft Auto VI is now slated to launch in November 2025, after two major delays pushed the original schedule back by more than a year. The announcement has reignited fan excitement, even as the exact date for pre‑order listings remains vague.

November 2025 release date confirmed after delays

Take‑Two Interactive’s recent communications confirm that the final release window for Grand Theft Auto VI is November 2025, marking the first firm launch timeframe since the project was first teased. This follows a series of postponements that originally targeted a 2023 launch, illustrating the challenges of delivering a game of this scale.

Strauss Zelnick says pre‑order date still unknown

During the latest earnings call, Take‑Two CEO Strauss Zelnick was asked about when Rockstar would open pre‑orders. He admitted he has "absolutely no idea" when the listings will appear, leaving the community without a concrete timeline. As the source notes, Zelnick’s candid response underscores the company’s cautious approach to marketing the title.
