Take-Two Interactive confirmed Grand Theft Auto VI will launch in fall 2025 while reporting quarterly revenue growth but lowered annual bookings forecast.

Synthesized from 4 sources

Take-Two Interactive Software confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI remains on track for a fall 2025 release, maintaining its previously announced launch timeline for one of the most anticipated video games in years.

The gaming company reported a 6% increase in revenue for its latest quarter and updated its fiscal year revenue guidance to a range of $7.9 billion to $8.1 billion. However, the company's annual bookings forecast came in below Wall Street estimates, indicating potential challenges in meeting investor expectations for the current fiscal period.

Grand Theft Auto VI represents a major milestone for Take-Two, as it will be the first new installment in the blockbuster franchise since Grand Theft Auto V launched in 2013. The previous game has generated billions in revenue through both initial sales and ongoing online content updates.

The confirmation of the fall 2025 launch date provides clarity for investors and gaming enthusiasts who have been eagerly awaiting news about the highly anticipated sequel. Take-Two's ability to meet this timeline will be closely watched given the game's expected significant impact on the company's financial performance.

Despite the positive quarterly revenue growth, the lower-than-expected annual bookings forecast suggests the company may face near-term headwinds before the major GTA VI launch provides a substantial revenue boost in fiscal 2026.
