Gamers everywhere have one big wish for this year: they want GTA 6 to launch as planned.

Even before the internet went into a frenzy over the first and only GTA 6 trailer, rumors about the game’s release date were already circulating.

Since that trailer dropped, GTA 6 has quickly become the most anticipated game of 2025.

It even snagged an award for “Most Anticipated Game” at The Game Awards 2024, which is pretty impressive considering it hasn’t even been released yet.

As the new year has rolled in with no second trailer in sight, fears of a delay have started to grow.

While no one wants to hear about delays, it’s something that’s been on a lot of minds.

However, there’s some good news. According to analyst George Osborn, everything seems to be on track for GTA 6, and it might just launch as planned.

Osborn, in an interview with Indy100, shared that there are “strong signs” pointing to an autumn 2025 release.

He explained that Take-Two’s confident mentions of GTA 6 in their financial reports are a solid indicator, though not a guarantee, of a timely release.

“If there were major concerns, I think they would have managed expectations a bit more carefully,” Osborn noted.

While Osborn feels good about the 2025 release, he did mention that things could change.

“There’s always a chance it could slip into 2026, but I’d bet on an autumn release, likely in October or November.”

With “next-gen” gameplay leaks already making waves online, fans are more eager than ever to explore the game’s photorealistic world.

Hopefully, this latest update will reassure everyone that GTA 6 is on track to meet its expected release date.
