Will GTA 6 make 2025 after all?

The Game Awards was stacked with reveals, from The Witcher 4, to Elden Ring Nightreign and Steel Hunters, but despite winning the 'most-anticipated' award, Grand Theft Auto 6 wasn't there.

With Rockstar's game first shown off in a trailer more than a year ago, fans are getting antsy waiting for new information, but the developer's parent company has been fanning the flames in a conversation with YouTuber Conner Mather.

Take-Two's CEO, Strauss Zelnick has been heaping high praise indeed on Rockstar's next title, which is sure to keep the fervent fanbase excited even with a lack of news, dubbing the game "extraordinary" and "worth waiting for".

Speaking in the video above, Zelnick says the next installment in Rockstar's crime epic will be "extraordinary", saying the game will be "worth waiting for" but stopped short of saying how long players will be waiting.

Instead, he said: "You thought you were anticipating this thing but this is way bigger and way better and more exciting and more beautiful than you could have possibly thought of".

Still, over on Reddit, fans are a mixture of disappointment that Zelnick may have played an early build before they have, or moaning about the interview you can't please everyone it seems.

Maybe they're a little salty. After all, we've heard reports the game could be pushed to 2026, while many theorised GTA 6 would appear at a Sony event that never took place.
