"GTA6" is not only the most anticipated video game experience ever, but also a phenomenal expectation beyond the scope of the game.Previously, the official announced that it will be released in the fall of 2025, but unfortunately, it has been postponed until May 26, 2026.Although Rockstar understands everyone's disappointment, Take-Two CEO has assured players who are worried about the resentment of GTA6's votes, that when Rockstar "sets a specific date, it will eventually be this date."

People are understandable about the possibility of GTA6's resentment.Recently, reporter Jason Schreier wrote an article for Bloomberg, pointing out that not only players are worried about the possibility of a second vote, but also peer developers and studios.Obviously, they all hope to make as broad a market space as possible for this new GTA when it is released, so as not to become a "sacrifice" of its unprecedented success.

While there is always the possibility of a second vote respite, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnik hinted that this will not happen.In a recent interview with The Game Business, when asked why it was important to set a full release date for GTA6 so long in advance, Zelnik replied: “Generally speaking, when we set a specific date, it will end up being that date.” The CEO added: “We think it’s important to assure people that it’s about to be launched, and choosing a specific date emphasizes that.”

When asked if Take-Two or Rockstar “recognizes that the industry needs to have some clarity around the release date”, Zelnik said: “I like the atmosphere of speculation in progress, it’s an honor”, ​​but “no one sends me flowers.”

The last question about GTA6 is whether Zelnik feels at ease that long has passed since the last completely original Rockstar game.In response, Zelnik said: "In the 'good times' of the past, or in the 'bad times' from a different perspective. We will develop a game, release it, hope it succeeds, and then make the next game. Now, we have the opportunity to keep consumers engaged in our popular games."

"Taking GTA as an example, we have GTA OL, and Rockstar has been providing content for GTA OL, and some of it is very rich. If you look back 15 years ago, all of this content could be considered an independent game. One can indeed say that Rockstar launches new GTA versions a few times a year."

Whether you agree with Zernick’s comments about GTA OL or not, the current guarantee on the release date of GTA 6 is good news.While there is still a possibility of a delay, it is nice to hear that a specific date has been set as both Rockstar and Take-Two are confident about it.
