Borderlands 4 now has a decisive release date on September 23, 2025, as confirmed during the State of Play 2025 broadcast. But where does the Grand Theft Auto 6 leave?
Last week, the mother company Rockstar Take-Two repeated the GTA 6 Fall 2025 release window, but now we know that Borderlands 4 is not in September, there is no chance that GTA 6 will be available in the same month.
So when October? November? December 2025? Everything seems to get for GTA 6 now. The risk is of course that Take-Dójka ends the cannibalization of its immense games 2025, spending them too close together. And let’s not forget about the mafia: the elderly country is starting at some point in summer 2025.
Could gigantic games Take-Two could, and thus we really mean GTA 6, eventually do more than good for each other, spending too close to each other? This question we asked, the general director, Strauss Zelnicki in an interview with financial results in the third quarter. As you might expect, Zelnick said that Take-Two is planning his release to avoid the risk of cannibalization, insisting that time results from the desire to “respect the consumer’s needs to spend a lot of time playing these hits before they go further to the next. “
“No, I think we will plan releases so as not to have this problem,” said Zelnick. “We discovered that when you give consumer hits, they are interested in realizing other hits. In other words, I said it many times, even when the hits are not ours, they are good for the industry. In this case, we hope that hits will be largely ours. So we feel really good from it and I think we will devote our releases to respect the consumer’s need, to spend a lot of time playing this hit before they go to the next. “
In the context of the Borderlands 4, the September release date has just been completed, when can GTA 6 come out? If Take-DwO wants Borderlands 4 fans spend a lot of time playing before going to, say, GTA 6, how long is a lot of time? One month? Two months? Three?
Of course, all these speculations include the prospect that GTA 6 will be delayed either early winter or at some point in the first quarter of 2026.
“Listen, there is always a risk of slipping and I think that as soon as you say words as absolutely, you jinx,” Zelnick answered, when Ign asked how certain he is that Rockstar hit the fall 2025 on GTA 6. “So we feel really feel . Good about it. “
At Borderlands 4, Zelnick insisted that the brand would remain “really strong”, despite the catastrophic Borderlands film, which he bombed at the ticket office and was weakened by critics and fans. In fact, Zelnick said that the defeat of the film would not affect the potential success of Borderlands 4.
“It’s no secret that the film was a disappointment, but interestingly, it really brought the benefits of our catalog of the catalog,” explained Zelnick. “So the effect was quite positive. It would assume that it would be more positive if the film was better received. But the brand is really strong. We feel great in the borderland 4. “
