Overview
- Strauss Zelnick, approached on the street by TikTok channel The School of Hard Knocks on Tuesday, June 16, reiterated that Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to release on November 19, 2026.
- Zelnick said Rockstar aims to “do something that's never been done before,” framing past delays as quality-driven and explaining why development has taken longer than expected.
- He gave Take‑Two revenue figures in the interview, citing $6.7 billion for 2025 and projecting “a little over $8 billion” for the current year, linking company guidance directly to the title’s performance.
- Key consumer details remain unannounced, including retail price, exact pre‑order and trailer timing, console-versus‑PC release sequencing, and how Rockstar will handle online monetization.
- Skepticism persists because Rockstar previously shifted two launch windows, and the industry will watch the planned summer marketing push and pre‑order rollout as the next real test of the November date.
