Take-Two’s CEO, Strauss Zelnick, has addressed a growing concern among Grand Theft Auto (GTA) fans—the prolonged wait for the next installment in the iconic series.
In late 2023, Rockstar Games surprised the gaming community with the debut trailer for GTA VI, officially narrowing its release to Fall 2025. However, since that momentous announcement, communication from the studio has been strikingly sparse.
The silence has left the fanbase frustrated, leading many enthusiasts to scrutinize every Rockstar social media update and GTA Online announcement in hopes of discovering hints or clues about the forthcoming game—often to no avail.
Fans have been particularly eager for a follow-up trailer, but their anticipation was met with disappointment when no new footage was revealed at The Game Awards.
The anticipation for GTA 6 reaches new heights amidst ongoing silence from Rockstar.
CEO Strauss Zelnick’s Encouraging Message: GTA 6 is “Breathtaking”
In a recent interview with Conner Mather, Zelnick shared his thoughts on the much-anticipated game, directing a response to impatient fans requesting updates.
Zelnick emphasized, “I think it’ll be extraordinary, and worth waiting for.” When asked what excites him most about GTA VI, he described it as “breathtaking,” igniting further interest among fans.

With the projected release window still set for Fall 2025, many in the gaming industry remain cautious. Insights from noted insider Jason Schreier suggest skepticism regarding this timeline, indicating that a 2026 release might be more realistic.
“I think it will probably slip again because Rockstar games always slip,” he stated during a podcast, drawing comparisons to previous delays for titles like Red Dead Redemption 2.
Reports indicate that GTA VI has encountered various developmental hurdles, potentially missing “multiple deadlines.” Other publishers are closely monitoring these developments before announcing their own game release dates to avoid overlap with Rockstar’s highly anticipated title.
While Zelnick’s reassurances aim to soothe the excited yet anxious community, the ultimate question remains: will his words sufficiently temper the community’s fervent anticipation for what is projected to be the standout game of 2025?
