Grand Theft Auto VI isn’t just going to be the biggest video game of 2025. It will almost certainly be the biggest game of the decade—and possibly the most lucrative entertainment product of all time.

One of Shakespeare's famous tragedies, the story follows Prince Hamlet, who is encouraged by his father's ghost to avenge his death by killing his uncle, the usurper of the throne. The actors' attempt to bring theatre to the gaming world inspired Crane's wife, film-maker Pinny Grylls, to create a documentary called Grand Theft Hamlet.

Truthfully, given how so many big games ended up in 2025’s slate, Grand Theft Auto 6 does not need to release in the same year as well. Perhaps all these big releases may be enough to make the industry recover even without Rockstar’s signature title to release alongside them.

If you're wondering why publishers are refusing to commit to release dates for 2025, there's one big reason: Grand Theft Auto VI. Rockstar Games ' highly anticipated game is currently planned for release in Fall 2025 and will most likely set sales records.
