Rockstar Games may not have talked about GTA 6 in over a year, but Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has been more optimistic in a new interview with the Financial Times.
GTA 6 is expected to be the biggest game of all time when it releases in 2025, but as we reported yesterday, some fans are feeling a little irritated by Rockstar's continued radio silence.
One theory suggested we'd get a trailer on December 27, while another seems to suggest we're expecting another moon phase in GTA Online.
Still, while Rockstar Games remains silent, the CEO of its parent company enjoys talking about the upcoming project. Take-Two's Strauss Zelnick has already said the game will be “extraordinary,” but he went further in a new interview with the Financial Times.
Take-Two boss talks about GTA 6 again
Zelnick told the outlet that “Rockstar will once again deliver something phenomenal,” and the Financial Times reported what we all know: that GTA 6 will be the biggest entertainment release of 2025, transcending gaming.
“I never claim victory before it happens,” Zelnick is quoted as saying.
“That said, I think Rockstar Games will once again deliver something absolutely phenomenal. Anticipation is certainly high.”
Zelnick also said that GTA 6 is expected to make a staggering $3.2 billion at launch, which would be about twice as much as a blockbuster movie like Inside Out 2. For context, GTA 5 hit $1 billion in three days in 2013, suggesting that ” GTA 6 will blow you out of the water.
“Anticipation is high” might be the understatement of the century, as fans grapple with all sorts of wild theories about when the game's second trailer will arrive.
The first, which debuted in December 2023, was the last official news we received from Rockstar about GTA 6, leaving the community hanging on to endless possibilities, but the studio is reportedly “going crazy” with the theories from fans, according to a former employee.
After an entire calendar year of silence, GTA 6 has already broken a Rockstar Games record, but in the meantime, we can at least take solace in the new Agents of Sabotage update for GTA Online to give us our GTA fix in the meantime.
