Fans patiently waiting for more news on Grand Theft Auto 6 may want to keep an eye on May 15, as Rockstar Games’ parent company, Take-Two Interactive, is set to host another quarterly earnings call. Grand Theft Auto 6 is currently scheduled to release in Fall 2025, but many are concerned that the highly anticipated title may slip into 2026.
Grand Theft Auto 6 hit an unfortunate milestone this week, as it has officially been over 500 days since the game was revealed. The first official trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 was released on December 4, 2023, and developer Rockstar Games has been silent ever since. To put it into perspective, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Grand Theft Auto 5 only went 214 and 253 days, respectively, between their first trailers and the release of official screenshots. With the days continuing to fly by, fans are growing increasingly concerned that the extended silence from Rockstar could be due to a release date delay.

Take-Two May Reaffirm GTA 6 Release Window on May 15
Last year, reliable sources indicated that there was no reason to be concerned about a potential delay in the release date of Grand Theft Auto 6. But as the months have gone by, Rockstar Games has remained worryingly silent on the title. The good news, however, is that Take-Two Interactive is set to host another quarterly earnings call on May 15, 2025. Past earnings calls have seen the company reaffirm Grand Theft Auto 6’s Fall 2025 release date, which means it will hopefully do the same again. In the unfortunate instance that Grand Theft Auto 6 is delayed into 2026, the likelihood is that it will be revealed during the earnings call next month.
While developer Rockstar Games has been tight-lipped on its upcoming title, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has briefly discussed the next Grand Theft Auto game on multiple occasions. The CEO hasn't given away much, but Zelnick did recently give fans an insight into the company's marketing plans for Grand Theft Auto 6. When asked why there has been so much secrecy surrounding GTA 6, Zelnick explained that many other studios announce their release schedules "years in advance," but Take-Two has found that the best option is to "provide marketing materials relatively close to the release window."
Many fans are assuming the worst due to the prolonged period of silence surrounding Grand Theft Auto 6, but it appears that this could simply be a marketing strategy that Take-Two and Rockstar have opted for this time around. And it's not just gamers that are eager to find out a launch date either, as recent reports claim that a handful of major publishers are prepared to delay their games due to Grand Theft Auto 6. With the next GTA game expected to be the biggest title of the year, publishers are reportedly stating that they "don't want to be anywhere near [GTA 6]."
