Today, publisher Take-Two Interactive narrowed that release timeline down a bit, stating Grand Theft Auto 6 will be released sometime in the fall of 2025.

Consumer anticipation for this title is unprecedented and our expectations for its commercial impact continue to increase.
Rockstar Games released the first cinematic trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI in December 2023. It showed that it will return to the Miami-inspired setting of the classic Grand Theft Auto: Vice City game and that it will have the most realistic-looking graphics of any entry in the franchise.
Rockstar stated the game will be released for Sony"s PlayStation 5 and Microsoft"s Xbox Series X|S consoles. So far, there"s no mention of a PC version of the game, but it"s possible it could be released sometime after console versions.
