Yet another Take-Two financial report is upon us, which means the company is once again reconfirming that subsidiary Rockstar's long-awaited open-world opus GTA 6 is still on track to launch in fall 2025. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick is confident that the game will be released on schedule, but he's willing to admit that a delay is never out of the question.

"Look, there's always a risk of slippage and I think as soon as you say words like absolutely, you jinx things," Zelnick tells IGN. "So we feel really good about it."

In a separate interview with VentureBeat, Zelnick notes that "it’s always the possibilities in our business. However, we’ve given the narrow window for upcoming titles. After all, it is February and we’ve outlined the release schedule through calendar year end."
