All eyes on May 15: Take-Two earnings call could decide GTA 6’s fate

With Grand Theft Auto 6 officially still set for a Fall 2025 release, both analysts and fans alike are looking to May 15, when Take-Two Interactive will conduct its quarterly earnings call. The corporate parent of Rockstar Games has kept mum for months, but this investor event may be the time when the future of GTA 6 becomes a bit more defined.


The May 15 earnings call is being considered a make-or-break situation for Grand Theft Auto 6's Fall 2025 release window. Although Rockstar Games has not dropped any new trailers or screenshots since the game's initial announcement in December 2023, the extended silence has been feeding rumors of a possible delay.
In the past, Take-Two Interactive has employed its quarterly calls to reaffirm or softly reset expectations on its flagship franchises. As concerns over GTA 6's timeline escalate, the May 15 call is likely to reaffirm faith in a 2025 launch or confirm industry worst fears: a delay into 2026.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has previously hinted that the company prefers to keep marketing materials close to the launch period, a strategy that may be contributing to the perceived quiet around the game. However, the sheer length of time since the first trailer over 500 days has become difficult for fans and industry observers to ignore.

The extended hiatus from updates isn't only concerning gamers, it's affecting the industry at large. Rumors point to a few major publishers proactively shifting the release of their own titles to not conflict with GTA 6, yet another indication of the significance the title has. As one of the decade's most highly anticipated titles, its timing of release could set entire fiscal plans.
In comparison, Rockstar's previous games, including Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5, started releasing more marketing material within months of their initial trailers. The fact that Rockstar has not done the same for GTA 6 has only fueled concerns about an imminent delay.
With more than 500 days of silence under its belt, GTA 6's development schedule is still a mystery. May 15 provides a rare opportunity for clarity. Whether Take-Two holds to its initial plan or delays, the company's earnings call is looking to be a critical moment for one of gaming's most highly anticipated titles.
