GTA 6 Expected Fall 2025 Release, Boosts Console Sales

Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to launch in fall 2025, generating significant anticipation among gamers and console manufacturers alike, as its release is expected to boost sales for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Take-Two Interactive's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, believes that the game's debut could be one of the most significant events in entertainment history, potentially attracting new players to current-generation consoles. Although the game will initially release on consoles, a PC version is expected to follow at a later date, continuing the company's trend of staggered releases. Zelnick acknowledges that PC gaming has become increasingly important, accounting for over 40% of sales for multiplatform titles, yet he emphasizes that major games like GTA traditionally drive console sales. The gaming industry, currently experiencing a slowdown, is banking on major releases like GTA 6 to revitalize interest in console gaming. As the market evolves, Zelnick remains optimistic about both console and PC platforms contributing to overall sales growth in 2025.
