Take-Two all but spells out that GTA 6 will be released in 2024
Take-Two and Rockstar Games have announced this week that Red Dead Redemption would get a port to PS4 and Nintendo Switch, which will be available later this month. The price tag of $49.99 has raised some eyebrows among fans, though. However, speaking to IGN Take-Two’s CEO Strauss Zelnick called the price “commercially accurate” – in essence: Rockstar fans will buy it anyways.
Given the developer’s cult status, that’s not too far from the truth – there are enough people who shell out $70 for annual sports games or Call of Duty to prove the point.
In perhaps more exciting news, Take-Two once again emphasized during a recent earnings call that it’s expecting “record levels of operating performance” in the coming year. It was previously forecasting no less than $8 billion in income for the next financial year.
The sun over Los Santos is setting: GTA 6 is likely going to be set in Vice City.

The fiscal year 2025 will run from April 2024 to March 2025, so Take-Two is all but spelling out that Rockstar’s highly anticipated GTA 6 will launch in that window. Since even the next GTA is going to need some time reaching the ambitious targets that Take-Two gave out, it’s likely that we’re looking at a 2024 release rather than a 2025 one.
Microsoft, too, thinks that GTA 6 will have a 2024 launch date, according to documents that it submitted to the UK’s market regulator during the acquisition process of Activision Blizzard.
In any case, it seems like Rockstar has definitely downplayed how far along the development of GTA 6 really is at this point.
