In the ever-growing debate over GTA 6 release date, the gaming community is abuzz with excitement as the possibility of an early 2025 launch gains traction. Despite Rockstar Games maintaining a tight-lipped stance on the matter, a recent report by Jason Schreier has rekindled discussions among eager fans.
GTA 6 Is Unlikely to Release Before April 2025, Analysts Advise | Push Square
12.02.2024 - 23:58 / pushsquare.com / Michael Pachter
Rockstar has officially dated GTA 6 for release in 2025, but there was some optimism evidenced by parent company Take-Two’s financials which suggested the title may arrive early next year. However, updated guidance from the organisation suggests that’s no longer the case, as discussed by Wedbush Securities analysts Nick McCay and Michael Pachter.
Late last week, the firm revised its outlook for the coming fiscal year, which runs from 1st April, 2024 through 31st March, 2025. This downturn of estimated income – from an originally expected $8 billion to $7 billion – suggests Rockstar’s highly anticipated sequel won’t launch early next year. “The drop makes us almost certain that GTA 6 will not be releasing next fiscal year,” the aforementioned analysts said.
However, they added that there’s “no reason to believe the game has slipped out of calendar 2025, but it is reasonable to assume that it will launch later in the year”. GTA games don’t tend to have defined launch windows, as GTA 4 deployed in April while GTA 5 was September. We suspect it’ll drop once the developer’s done, but hopefully we get more insight into exactly when that’ll be later this year.

I've played every mainline GTA game since 2 and I have never been disappointed yet. Rockstar have earned my respect enough for me to say that it'll be well worth the wait. Get it right, not get it quick. Simple as that.
This is rubbish analyst
Take Two downgraded their prediction from 8 billion to 7 billion, this year prediction is 5-5,5billion.
There is no any indication that Take two portfolio will generate those extra 2 billions out of existing library.
It shows that more likely GTA 6 will be released at the end of March right before April.
Unless Take two expects to acquire big company soon.
We suspect it’ll drop once the developer’s done
Seriously??? do these people actually get paid for these predictions.
Obviously it'll drop once they've finished, it won't launch before it's finished and they sure as hell aren't going to just shelve it once they've finished
Hi, analysts.
Take-Two's latest earnings report — «77 million Gen 9 consoles outstanding worldwide, as of 31st December 2023.»
If they had to lower sales expectations after initially assuming more consoles would be in play for them then they'd have to lower that 8 Billion, somehwat. If they initially thought they could sneak it on to PS4 or Series S too and have since been told by the devs that, no, no they can't, they would have to significantly lower that number again.

Without a Physical PS5 Release, Alan Wake 2 Is Still Remedy's Fastest Selling Game | Push Square
Fans want a physical edition of Remedy’s horror sequel Alan Wake 2, but the critically acclaimed game isn’t exactly struggling on digital storefronts. The title has now sold 1.3 million copies worldwide, making it the fastest-selling title in the Finnish firm’s history. It previously reached one million units by the end of December 2023, so it looks like word of mouth has been good through the first two months of 2024.

Sony Predicts Slide in PS5 Sales with No Major Existing IPs Planned Before March 2025 | Push Square
Sony will not release any sequels or updates to “major existing franchise titles” before March 2025. The wording is exceptionally important here: this does not eliminate the likelihood of PS5 exclusives entirely, it just means you’re unlikely to see a new Ghost of Tsushima or The Last of Us in the next 12 months and a bit.

Rise of the Ronin's Korean Release Cancelled Following Commentary Controversy | Push Square
If, like ourselves, you're only passingly familiar with the complex, extremely fraught history between Japan and Korea, you might have missed the significance of specific comments made by Rise of the Ronin director Fumuhiko Yasuda in a behind-the-scenes trailer released last week. We certainly did, despite reporting on the thing, and so were surprised to learn that Sony has since cancelled the upcoming title's Korean release.
