Take-Two Interactive Poised for a Stellar Year

GTA 6 Remains On Course for Fall 2025 Release

During the Q3 Earnings Conference Call on February 7, 2025, Take-Two Interactive provided updates on their current and future projects, reaffirming that Grand Theft Auto 6 is on track for a Fall 2025 release. CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed confidence in the timeline, though he acknowledged the inherent risks in game development, stating, "Look, there's always a risk of slippage and I think as soon as you say words like absolutely, you jinx things." Despite this, Zelnick remains optimistic, noting, "We feel really good about it." He emphasized the company's commitment to excellence, saying, "We know that Rockstar seeks perfection. I never claim success before it occurs. I'm fond of saying arrogance is the enemy of continued success, so we're all running scared and looking over our shoulders and we know that the competition is not asleep. Our whole organization is super excited."

Exciting Take-Two Interactive Game Releases Scheduled for 2025

2025 is set to be a landmark year for Take-Two Interactive, with a robust lineup of game releases. CEO Strauss Zelnick highlighted the upcoming launches, saying, "Looking ahead, this calendar year is shaping up to be one of the strongest ever for Take-Two, as Sid Meier’s Civilization VII launched in Early Access today, with the official launch on February 11th, and we also plan to release Mafia: The Old Country in the Summer, Grand Theft Auto VI in the Fall, and Borderlands 4 before year-end." Zelnick expressed strong belief in the commercial potential of these titles, stating, "We are exceedingly optimistic about the commercial potential of our titles and believe that they will have a transformative effect on our business – and our industry – over the long term." Looking further ahead, Take-Two Interactive anticipates "sequential increases in, and record levels of, Net Bookings in Fiscal 2026 and 2027."

GTA 5's Impressive Sales and Continued Success

The Grand Theft Auto franchise remains Take-Two Interactive's crown jewel, with GTA 5 having sold over 210 million units worldwide to date. GTA Online enjoyed a stellar quarter with its holiday update, Agents of Sabotage, and the GTA+ membership program saw a 10% year-to-year increase in reach. Other titles from Take-Two also performed exceptionally well in the third quarter. NBA 2K25 sold over 7 million units, with significant increases in player engagement, including a 30% rise in Recurrent Consumer Spending, nearly 20% increase in Daily Active Users, and a 10% increase in Monthly Active Users. Red Dead Redemption 2 continued to expand its audience, selling over 70 million units, and Red Dead Online received continuous updates, including the popular Halloween pass, leading to the highest concurrent player count on Steam at 99,993 players according to SteamDB.

Clarifying Rumors: GTA 5 Actor Steven Ogg on His Character Trevor

Rumors have circulated that Steven Ogg, the actor behind Trevor in GTA 5, dislikes his association with the character. However, during an interview on the Inside You podcast, Ogg set the record straight. He clarified that he doesn't hate Trevor but finds it strange when fans address him by his character's name, stating, "When people call you by your character name, it's kinda weird because I kinda get it, but I'm also like meh." Ogg praised Trevor as a great character and mentioned his continued friendship with his fellow actors Shawn Fonteno (Franklin) and Ned Luke (Michael), noting, "He's awesome. I still see [Fonteno, Franklin's actor] and Ned [Luke, Michael's actor], we're friends. We were just doing a Comic Con this past weekend." In a previous interview with Screen Rant, Ogg suggested the idea of Trevor appearing in GTA 6 only to be killed off early in the game, though he confirmed he has not recorded any lines for GTA 6 and has no information on whether Trevor will return.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is slated for a Fall 2025 release, though no specific date has been announced. Keep an eye on our Grand Theft Auto 6 page for the latest updates on the game.
