The rumor mill surrounding GTA 6's release has spun furiously for what feels like forever. But finally, it seems like we're a step closer to knowing when the much-anticipated title will drop, thanks to some enlightening comments from Strauss Zelnick, the CEO of Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two Interactive.
While many gamers have been keeping their ears close to the ground for any hints of a release date, it was a coup when Zelnick gave away tantalizing hints in a recent interview with CNBC. Let's parse through his words and understand what we might expect.
The most significant part of Zelnick's revelation is his connection between the "very robust pipeline of titles" as well as the expectations for net bookings in fiscal 2025. The elusive CEO insinuated that the future looked exceptionally bright for Take-Two, with hopes to generate approximately $8 billion in that time frame. And as anyone familiar with the gaming industry will tell you, there's no bigger cash cow for Take-Two than GTA.
In fact, his comments about the forthcoming game, while calculated and cautious, seemed to indicate a 2024 or 2025 release for GTA 6. This sentiment, interestingly,aligns with previous reports by known industry journalist, Jason Schreier. But Zelnick wasn't the only one dropping bread crumbs.
