GTA 6 May Launch on September 17 Amid Trailer Speculation

Los Angeles, CA — Fans of the Grand Theft Auto franchise are buzzing with excitement as leaks suggest that GTA 6 could launch on September 17, 2025, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The anticipation grows ahead of an expected trailer release, which may coincide with Take-Two‘s earnings call on May 15.

Rockstar Games has been tight-lipped since the unveiling of the first trailer for GTA 6 on December 4, 2023. That initial preview offered glimpses of the next chapter in the acclaimed series, but details have been scarce since then. Analysts believe the May earnings call could finally break the silence, possibly confirming the release timeline or unveiling new information about the game, including a second trailer.

“Leaks indicate a fall 2025 release window, but some reports speculate it may be pushed to 2026,” said a gaming analyst. This speculation arises from Rockstar’s silence and lack of updates, prompting fans to prepare for potential delays.

On social media, users are actively dissecting every hint related to the game. One known leaker, Detective Seeds, believes the new trailer will arrive before the end of May. If this is accurate, it would kick off a marketing blitz ahead of the anticipated launch.

Adding to the intrigue, Gearbox Software announced that the release of Borderlands 4 will be moved up to September 12, 2025, just days before the rumored launch of GTA 6. This has led to speculation on whether the scheduling changes might be a strategic move to avoid competition with the new Grand Theft Auto title. Randy Pitchford, CEO of Gearbox, highlighted the favorable development timeline as the reason for the shift.

In the gaming community, discussions are rampant. One Twitter user expressed, “GTA 6 launch date end of September, early October, I’m calling it now.” However, others caution that this is purely speculative.

The anticipation around GTA 6 remains high, as the game is set to be a significant milestone for this gaming generation. Features from the YouTube birthday video, which included a brief clip from the game, further heightened expectations.

As the May 15 event approaches, the gaming community watches closely. Will Rockstar provide the updates that fans desperately crave, or will uncertainty linger a while longer? Only time will tell.
