Take-Two's upcoming earnings call could be the GTA 6 news goldmine fans have been waiting for.
If it isn't already clear yet, Rockstar Games has no intention of revealing any Grand Theft Auto 6 news until it's absolutely sure that it's ready to release the game. With no signs or indication that this is happening soon outside of T-shirt fueled rumors and insider speculations, the only other official source of information that Grand Theft Auto fans can turn to is Take-Two Interactive.
The good news? Rockstar's parent company is set to hold its next earnings call in mid-May. If we all still haven't heard from Rockstar about GTA 6 by May, this upcoming financial report could finally shed some light on the status of the game and for Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick to either reaffirm the game's timeline or announce a delay.
As Take-Two enters its new fiscal year on April 1, the company is obligated to provide investors with accurate projections for the next 12 months, extending to March 31, 2026. This means that if GTA 6 is not on track for its Fall 2025 release, Take-Two must disclose any delays due to the potential impact on its quarterly earnings.
This situation mirrors last year's earnings call, where projections of billions in revenue by Spring 2025 were pushed back to Fall 2025, coinciding with the current GTA 6 release window. So, regardless of whether it's good news or bad news, some form of GTA 6 news is almost guaranteed to emerge from this upcoming call.
For what it's worth, the most likely scenario is still that GTA 6 is coming out later this year. During the last earnings call, a company representative disclosed that they have adopted a more compact marketing approach, focusing on shorter campaigns closer to release dates. This strategy aims to better capture the goldfish-like attention span of the Millennial audience, while also explaining the prolonged silence surrounding GTA 6.
The shift suggests that the lack of recent GTA 6 news may not necessarily indicate development issues, but could instead be a calculated move to maintain peak interest closer to launch. So while the silence may have been frustrating, it appears to be part of a larger strategy rather than a cause for concern. At least, that's what we all hope!
With that said, it is interesting that all the speculation and rumors are centered around the months of April or May. Aside from the talks of a new GTA 6 trailer, there's also reports that Sony will announce its marketing deal with GTA 6 within the next two months. It certainly seems like Grand Theft Auto fans will want to stay tuned for the next sixty days lest they risk missing out on the official release date of what many consider as the frontrunner for this year's Game of the Year award.
In the meantime, you can keep yourself busy by literally flying around Vice City in this mod for Grand Theft Auto V.
