GTA 6 Release Date Was Leaked Right Before ‘Major Announcement’

GTA 6 Release Date Was Leaked Right Before ‘Major Announcement’
Rockstar Games

A South American retailer may have accidentally leaked the release date for Grand Theft Auto VI, listing it for September 17, 2025. The Uruguay-based store, X Uruguay, posted a pre-sale listing for the highly anticipated game, including the supposed release date alongside PlayStation 5 copies. Rockstar Games and parent company Take-Two Interactive have yet to confirm the date, and given their history of keeping tight-lipped, they are unlikely to comment before an official announcement.

Take-Two has previously stated that GTA 6 is planned for an autumn 2025 release, but no exact date had been given. The leak comes just before Take-Two’s upcoming earnings report on February 6, where fans are hoping for a significant update. Many believe this financial call could include confirmation of the release window or even a second trailer.

While some industry insiders speculate that the date could be a placeholder, reports suggest the retailer works directly with PlayStation for listings, making the leak seem more credible. Gaming website 80 Level noted that a miscommunication between the store and Rockstar could have led to the unintended reveal of what was meant to be a secret.

With GTA 6 already sending the gaming world into a frenzy, this latest development has only intensified the hype. Fans remain hopeful that Rockstar will stick to the 2025 release and avoid any dreaded delays into 2026.
