GTA 6 Release Date Finally Leaked? Here’s the Lowdown

So, you’re itching to know when you’ll finally get your hands on Grand Theft Auto 6, huh? Well, aren’t we all! The rumor mill is churning, and the latest buzz comes from an unexpected corner of the globe—Uruguay. Yes, you read that right.

The Uruguayan Leak

A video game retailer in Montevideo, XUruguay, recently listed GTA 6 with a release date of September 17, 2025.

Now, before you start marking your calendar, let’s take a step back. This date is significant; it’s exactly 12 years after GTA 5 hit the shelves on September 17, 2013. Coincidence? Maybe. But it does make you wonder if Rockstar has a penchant for anniversaries.

Official Word from Rockstar

As of now, Rockstar Games has confirmed that GTA 6 is slated for a Fall 2025 release.

However, they’ve been tight-lipped about an exact date. The gaming giant is known for its meticulous attention to detail, and delays aren’t uncommon in the industry. So, while a September release would be a treat, it’s best to keep expectations in check.

Industry Speculations

The gaming community is buzzing with theories. Some believe that the September 17 date is a placeholder, given its alignment with GTA 5‘s anniversary. Others think it might be a genuine slip-up. Adding fuel to the fire, Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent company, has an earnings call scheduled for February 6. Many anticipate that more concrete information—or at least a new trailer—could drop around that time.

While the idea of cruising through the streets of Vice City in September 2025 is tantalizing, it’s essential to approach these leaks with a healthy dose of skepticism. Until Rockstar makes an official announcement, all we have are rumors and speculation. So, keep your excitement in check, stay tuned for official updates, and maybe start saving up for that next-gen console upgrade. After all, good things come to those who wait, and in the world of GTA, the wait is always worth it.
