Ubisoft, the French video game company, suggests that the anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) after April 2025 will usher in a significant boost for the gaming industry. This follows recent reports from Take-Two Interactive, parent company of Rockstar Games, outlining its plans to increase marketing spend during the fiscal year 2024-25, leading to speculation on GTA 6’s launch timeline.

Take-Two Interactive’s Planned Marketing Boost

Take-Two Interactive has indicated an increase in marketing expenditure in its five-year forecast, particularly in the fiscal year 2024-2025. This news has spurred discussion among industry analysts and fans alike, hinting at the possible release of the highly anticipated GTA 6 during this period.

Ubisoft’s Positive Outlook on GTA 6 Release

Frederick Duguet, Ubisoft’s CFO, expressed the company’s optimism during a financial call.
