Grand Theft Auto 6 can learn a lot of lessons from its predecessors, and one popular element of GTA 4 could be perfect for GTA 6's post-launch life.

An industry insider believes that GTA 6 will ultimately be delayed, saying that it would be a "shock" for it to meet its 2025 launch window.

Truthfully, given how so many big games ended up in 2025’s slate, Grand Theft Auto 6 does not need to release in the same year as well. Perhaps all these big releases may be enough to make the industry recover even without Rockstar’s signature title to release alongside them.

If you're wondering why publishers are refusing to commit to release dates for 2025, there's one big reason: Grand Theft Auto VI. Rockstar Games ' highly anticipated game is currently planned for release in Fall 2025 and will most likely set sales records.

Grand Theft Auto VI isn’t just going to be the biggest video game of 2025. It will almost certainly be the biggest game of the decade—and possibly the most lucrative entertainment product of all time.

Grand Theft Auto 6 has been in the works for a decade now, and except from a confirmation in 2022 that it was in development and a trailer released in December 2023, we know next to nothing about the game other than it will launch in 2025.
