The eagerly awaited GTA 6 release date is anticipated to be revealed later this year, stirring excitement among fans of the franchise. Alongside superlative titles like Mafia: The Old Country, these upcoming games are some of the most anticipated within Take-Two Interactive’s catalog. Mafia: The Old Country is projected for a summer release, potentially landing on August 8, 2025, based on a recent leak, while GTA 6 is optimistically slated for Fall 2025.
Fan Reactions to the Leaked Release Dates
The absence of a definitive release date for GTA 6 has raised concerns within the gaming community about possible delays. Although Rockstar Games has yet to disclose new information about this highly anticipated open-world adventure, the rumors surrounding Mafia: The Old Country’s release have reinvigorated fan optimism.
A prominent member of the Grand Theft Auto community on X, known as @videotechuk_, claimed that a version of the Spanish Steam page for Mafia: The Old Country listed a release date of August 8, 2025. In their post, they included a screenshot of the page, though it appears the specific date was removed at the time of writing.
Interestingly, while there was no mention of GTA 6 on that page, fans interpret the potential August release of Mafia as a favorable indication for the timing of GTA 6. If the Mafia title does release in early August, this could allow GTA 6 to arrive later in the year, potentially in late October or November. Such scheduling would help create a gap, avoiding competition with another major release—Borderlands 4, which is set for September 23, 2025. This aligns well with Rockstar Games’ stated target of a Fall 2025 release.
However, it is crucial to note that as of now, Hangar 13 has not officially confirmed the release date for Mafia: The Old Country. Therefore, any leaked information regarding both Mafia and GTA 6 should be approached with cautious optimism.
At this juncture, there’s still no concrete release date for GTA 6, but with Fall 2025 on the horizon, eager fans can expect more definitive announcements in the upcoming months.
