Take-Two Interactive's Strong Year and GTA 6's Projected Release

GTA 6: A Fall 2025 Launch Remains Likely

Take-Two Interactive's Q3 earnings call (February 7, 2025) reaffirmed their target of a Fall 2025 release for GTA 6.

He highlighted the company's excitement and the intense competitive landscape driving their efforts.

Take-Two Interactive's 2025 Game Lineup

Zelnick highlighted 2025 as a pivotal year for Take-Two, with several major releases planned: Sid Meier's Civilization VII (Early Access launched, full release February 11th), Mafia: The Old Country (Summer release), GTA 6 (Fall release), and Borderlands 4 (before year-end). He expressed significant confidence in the commercial success of these titles. The company projects record-breaking net bookings in fiscal years 2026 and 2027.

Continued Success of Existing Franchises

The GTA franchise continues to dominate, with over 210 million units sold globally. GTA Online's performance remains exceptional, fueled by the "Agents of Sabotage" holiday update and the continued growth of GTA+. Other titles also saw impressive results: NBA 2K25 sold over 7 million units, showing significant increases in player engagement metrics. Red Dead Redemption 2, with over 70 million units sold, enjoys sustained popularity, boosted by ongoing updates to Red Dead Online and record concurrent players on Steam (99,993 according to SteamDB).

Dispelling Rumors about GTA 5's Trevor

Addressing persistent rumors, Steven Ogg (Trevor's actor in GTA 5) clarified on the Inside You podcast that he doesn't dislike his character. He simply prefers not to be called Trevor outside of his professional role. He maintains friendships with his co-stars and remains open about his character's popularity. While he previously speculated about Trevor's potential (and demise) in GTA 6, he confirms no involvement in the new game's production.
