The excitement around the release of GTA 6 continues to build as Rockstar Games prepares to launch the game. The highly anticipated title is expected to arrive in autumn 2025, but fans have been waiting over a year since the first trailer was revealed. Despite speculation that the game may be delayed, Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two Interactive, has confirmed that GTA 6 will indeed be released this year, alongside Borderlands 4.

Fans are eagerly awaiting to know what platforms the game will be available on. Leaks suggest that GTA 6 will launch on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on September 17, 2025.
