Speculation Grows Around GTA 6 Release as Borderlands 4 Launch Date Announced

Take-Two's strategy to space out major game launches and Rockstar's autonomy fuel uncertainty over GTA 6's Fall 2025 release window.

Borderlands 4 is confirmed to release on September 23, 2025, as revealed during Sony's State of Play event.
Take-Two Interactive, publisher of both Borderlands 4 and GTA 6, avoids overlapping major releases to prevent sales competition between its own titles.
Speculation suggests GTA 6 may release in November 2025 to provide breathing room for Borderlands 4's market performance.
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra asserts that Rockstar Games operates independently and can release GTA 6 whenever it chooses, unaffected by other titles.
Rockstar's GTA 6 is widely regarded as a dominant force in the gaming industry, with publishers reportedly adjusting their schedules to avoid competing with its launch.
