Take-Two Interactive has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI is still on track for a Fall 2025 release, joining a strong lineup that includes Mafia: The Old Country and Borderlands 4.

Since the announcement trailer debuted in late 2023, Rockstar Games has maintained a largely silent stance regarding further details about GTA VI.

York pointed out that this lack of information encourages fans to create theories, which enhances excitement without undermining the marketing strategy.

The anticipation for GTA VI is immense, and some experts believe that keeping fans in suspense could enhance the overall launch experience.

Take-Two's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, indicated that fans may need to wait until closer to the game's launch for additional trailers or information.

Mike York, another former Rockstar animator, noted that Rockstar's secretive marketing strategy fosters community engagement and speculation among fans.

Obbe Vermeij, a former Rockstar developer, emphasized that withholding more details could significantly enhance the game's launch event.

Vermeij also suggested that no further trailers are necessary, as the existing hype surrounding the game is already substantial.

There is speculation that a 'decision day' regarding GTA VI's release timeline may mirror the delay of GTA IV, which was postponed just months before its launch in 2007.

Current findings suggest that GTA VI may target 30 frames per second on base PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S due to the performance limitations of current-generation hardware.

Recent tests of the Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced Edition on PC have provided insights into the technology that will drive GTA VI's visuals.

Some analysts believe that the game's potential success could have been even greater if it had launched on PC simultaneously with console versions.
