However, he still opened up the possibility of the game needing additional time to develop, stated "Look, there's always a risk of slippage and I think as soon as you say words like absolutely, you jinx thing."
Regardless, Zelnick said they "feel really good about it", pertaining to the expected release window for the game. He did not want to divulge anything related to the development of GTA 6, but said "We know that Rockstar seeks perfection. I never claim success before it occurs. I'm fond of saying arrogance is the enemy of continued success, so we're all running scared and looking over our shoulders and we know that the competition is not asleep. Our whole organization is super excited."

Zelnick emphasized how big 2025 is shaping up to be for the company, especially with the upcoming releases of their games."Looking ahead, this calendar year is shaping up to be one of the strongest ever for Take-Two, as Sid Meier’s Civilization VII launched in Early Access today, with the official launch on February 11th, and we also plan to release Mafia: The Old Country in the Summer, Grand Theft Auto VI in the Fall, and Borderlands 4 before year-end." he said.

GTA 5 Actor Does Not Hate His Character
Fans have speculated for a while that the actor for Trevor in GTA 5 hates being associated with that character. During an interview on the Inside You podcast, GTA 5 Actor Steven Ogg expressed his thoughts about his character Trevor.
Ogg clarified that the rumor about him hating his character is not true at all. He wanted people to know that he just didn’t want to be called Trevor because that wasn’t his name. “When people call you by your character name, it's kinda weird because I kinda get it, but I'm also like meh," Ogg said.
He then briefly explained that "He's[Trevor] a great character", and added "He's awesome. I still see [Fonteno, Franklin's actor] and Ned [Luke, Michael's actor], we're friends. We were just doing a Comic Con this past weekend."
In a previous interview with Screen Rant, Ogg shared his idea of Trevor appearing in GTA 6 just to be killed at the beginning of the game. However, he said that he has not recorded anything for GTA 6, nor does he have any idea whether Trevor returns to the series or not.
