Fans remain wary of Rockstar's predictions
Given TakeTwo's 2024 layoffs, and ongoing talk about the company failing to meet their forecasts for their biggest revenue generators — hypercasual mobile, and online microtransactions — the confirmation of GTA VI for Fall 2025 may have fallen on deaf ears.

The original trailer received 58 million views in 12 hours after launch, and that number has grown to 238 million since. So, maybe Rockstar is just taking advantage of the free marketing?
With the confirmations in the earnings call, GTA VI's release date seems set for Fall 2025. While delays are still possible, it looks like gamers might just get GTA VI in their Christmas stockings this year. That's all for now. Stick around on esports.gg for more news and updates.
