The recent “leak” regarding the release date of Grand Theft Auto 6 has been refuted by the retailer that supposedly revealed it. With Grand Theft Auto 5 having been around for an impressive 12 years, it’s no surprise that fans are eagerly anticipating Grand Theft Auto 6. Unfortunately, updates have been scarce since Rockstar Games confirmed they were developing the game.
The most significant news came when Rockstar released the first trailer for GTA 6. This trailer confirmed that the game will feature a female protagonist named Lucia and will be set in a version of Florida, including Vice City. It’s been over a year since the first GTA 6 trailer made a splash online, and Rockstar has remained silent about when fans can expect the second trailer to arrive.
The date of September 17, 2025, doesn’t seem plausible for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, as it falls on a Wednesday. Most new video games are typically launched on Tuesdays or Fridays, and there has been a trend of games being released on Thursdays as well. While it’s not impossible for a game to come out on a Wednesday, it’s quite rare. That said, there’s a chance that the actual release date for GTA 6 could follow the pattern of Grand Theft Auto 5 and be set for September, especially since the release window is fall 2025.
However, Grand Theft Auto fans should remain cautious about their expectations for GTA 6 until a definitive release date is provided. Even then, it’s important to be prepared for the possibility of delays. Rockstar is known for pushing back its game releases, and some have already speculated that a delay could push the GTA 6 launch to 2026. Only time will tell, but if Rockstar is serious about a fall 2025 release, we can expect Trailer 2 to be revealed soon.
