GTA 6 is coming in October, says website; see the exact date

GTA 6 could be released on October 28, according to a recent report from the news site Kotaku—a date that has been gaining traction and catching the attention of online users. According to journalist Zack Zwiezen from the site, Rockstar Games’ title is expected to arrive “around that [day].” That is, unless it gets delayed to 2026, something Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has already stated he does not believe will happen. Check out the theory behind this date and whether GTA 6 could actually launch on October 28, 2025, for PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.

**So far, the official stance of Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive is that GTA 6 will be released in the fall of the Northern Hemisphere, in late 2025, starting from September 22. According to the journalist, the October 28 date was determined by comparing recent news and information surrounding the game. One of the key factors used to narrow down the release window was the confirmed launch date of Borderlands 4, which is set for the first day of fall, September 23, 2025. Since both 2K Games and Rockstar Games are subsidiaries of Take-Two Interactive, it is assumed that the company strategically scheduled its shooter at a safe distance from GTA 6’s release.

With September ruled out, October seems the most likely month for the game’s launch, especially considering that a new Call of Duty is expected to arrive in November (reportedly a futuristic sequel to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2). October 28, in particular, is the last Tuesday of the month, giving Borderlands 4 a full month of breathing room before what is expected to be the biggest release in gaming history. This “fear” of GTA 6’s launch date has led several third-party companies to hold off on committing to release dates until they are sure they won’t be competing directly with Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated title.**

**Historically, Rockstar Games does seem to have a preference for October, having released some of its biggest titles during the month, including several GTA games. The list includes Grand Theft Auto 2 (GTA 2), Grand Theft Auto 3, GTA: Vice City, GTA: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, GTA: The Ballad of Gay Tony, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Bully, Red Dead Redemption (PC), Red Dead Redemption 2, the multiplayer mode GTA Online from GTA 5, Manhunt 2, and more.

For now, Kotaku’s suggested date remains speculation, sparking debates across social media. Some users are discussing whether they believe the prediction, while others argue whether October 28 would be a good release date for GTA 6. While it is still just a guess, it does seem like a solid prediction—assuming the game is still on track for a 2025 release.**
