Strauss Zelnick Drops Hints For GTA 6 Release Date

Global gaming communities have been waiting impatiently for any information on the highly anticipated (Grand Theft Auto) GTA 6. In a recent CNBC interview, Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, spilled some beans on the situation.

This is the first occasion Zelnick has openly linked GTA 6 to a specific fiscal year.“The future looks exceptionally bright for Take-Two, with hopes to generate approximately $8 billion in fiscal 2025,” he said.

Viewers believe his comments were a subtle confirmation that GTA 6 would likely be released between April 2024 and March 2025.

These rumors are consistent with earlier articles by well-known gaming journalist Jason Schreier, giving this timeframe more credence.

Additionally, Take-Two isn’t relying only on GTA 6 for future financial success. “Titles are coming from all labels,” Zelnick added, hinting that the parent company of Rockstar Games has a varied portfolio of upcoming titles from various subsidiaries.

These include much awaited titles like Judas, which was officially teased at The Game Awards the previous year, as well as the upcoming BioShock installment and yearly releases like WWE 2K and NBA 2K. It’s not unexpected that Take-Two anticipates its net bookings to hit a record high within the next two years given the variety of lucrative brands it owns.

GTA 6 itself, though, is what has investors and gamers captivated. According to reports, the title’s production budget exceeded $1 billion. But given the history of the series, it’s anticipated that it would make back this significant expenditure within days of its debut.

When he said that his business has a “very robust pipeline of titles” planned, Zelnick implied that GTA 6 is the key to meeting the ambitious $8 billion sales target for the fiscal 2025 period while remaining cautiously optimistic.

Even though these details have raised anticipation, Rockstar Games still has the final say in the release date.

But Zelnick’s interview has given us the best hint yet as to when we might be driving our virtual automobiles in the fresh environment that GTA 6 promises. Until then, gamers worldwide will have to be await any more updates an keep joining pieces of whatever information they know until the official confirmation from Rockstar arrives.
