Do you think you can wait a year and a half to play GTA 6? Sorry, but it seems like you don't have a choice.

In an interview with IGN, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick said pretty explicitly that we should expect the next entry in the GTAseries to launch late next year. Previously, the game was announced with a vague release window of just "2025," so Zelnick's comments should help narrow things down for those who simply need GTA VIin their lives.

"We do feel highly confident that we'll deliver [Grand Theft Auto VI] in fall of 2025," Zelnick said, per IGN.

This news will surely disappoint those who were holding out hope that it might come out earlier in 2025, but what's another few months when you've been waiting for the next GTAsince 2013?

GTA VIhas, obviously, been a magnet for rumor-mongering and discussion online for more than a decade at this point. After years of speculation (and leaks), Rockstar confirmed the game in December with a Tom Petty-set trailer. It's a modern take on previous series setting Vice City, which is a not-especially-subtle pastiche of Miami.

At this point, you probably already know if you're excited for GTA VIor not. Now, the waiting game begins. Or continues, I guess.
