The highly anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) has been the topic of speculation and excitement among gamers for quite some time. While details about the game’s launch remain largely unknown to the public, recent comments from Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot have shed some light on the anticipated release window.
During a Q3 earnings call, Guillemot revealed that he believes GTA 6 will hit the market sometime after March 2025. This estimation has led to heightened excitement, as gamers eagerly await the latest installment in the popular franchise.
Interestingly, Guillemot expects GTA 6 to be closer to financial year ’26, which indicates that the game may not be released until sometime within or after the fiscal year 2025-2026. This prediction diverges from previous assumptions based on remarks made by Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, the developer behind the GTA series.
Take-Two had previously mentioned “groundbreaking titles” in their fiscal year 2025 projections, which included estimated net bookings of over $8 billion. Analysts interpreted this as an indication that GTA 6 would be released during that period. However, Guillemot’s statement implies that these projections may not have included GTA 6 specifically.
As gamers eagerly await the release of GTA 6, the speculation surrounding its features, setting, and gameplay continues to grow. The GTA franchise has a reputation for pushing boundaries and providing an immersive open-world experience, so fans have high expectations for the next installment.
While Ubisoft’s comments have given fans a rough estimate of when to expect the game, the exact release date remains uncertain. Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive are known for their secrecy surrounding game releases, preferring to make announcements when they are ready to share concrete details with the public.
In the meantime, gamers can only continue to speculate and look forward to the day when they can explore the streets of an entirely new virtual world in GTA 6. The excitement surrounding the release of this highly anticipated game serves as a testament to the success and popularity of the Grand Theft Auto franchise.
