The gaming community is filled with excitement as fresh leaks indicate a possible release date for the eagerly awaited Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6). Although Rockstar Games has formally confirmed a release window for Fall 2025, new details indicate a possible specific date.
Official Announcements and Speculations
Rockstar Games announced in December 2023 that GTA 6 is scheduled to launch in Fall 2025 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. A PC release should follow in early 2026.
Nevertheless, a recent leak by Kotaku indicates that the game may come out on October 28, 2025. The date is consistent with Rockstar’s usual patterns of release, typically releasing late in October to benefit from the holiday season.

Development Progress and Possible Delays
Rockstar has been ramping up its development efforts, with news suggesting a switch to full-time in-office development to ensure production deadlines are met. In spite of this, some insiders, such as Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, have suggested that delays are conceivable and a 2026 release is not out of the question if development milestones are not achieved.
Anticipation and Impact
The anticipation for GTA 6 is immense, with the first trailer breaking records upon its release. Analysts predict that the game could generate over $3 billion in its first year, including $1 billion in pre-orders. The game’s setting in the fictional state of Leonida, inspired by Florida and the introduction of Lucia, the series’ first female protagonist, have only heightened expectations.
Conclusion
Though the official release window is still Fall 2025, the leaked October 28, 2025 date has provided a more specific timeline for fans to look forward to. As per usual, one must be cautious when approaching such leaks until announced by Rockstar Games. Regardless, the hype surrounding GTA 6 keeps building as more information is revealed.
