Take-Two's 2025 Game Lineup: GTA 6 Got Delayed But There's Still Plenty to Play

Posted on August 7, 2025 by [Your Name]

So yeah, GTA 6 got pushed to 2026 (ugh), but Take-Two's 2025 roster is still stacked with bangers. From mafia dramas to basketball sims and alien planets, here's everything coming from the gaming giant this year—plus why that GTA delay might not be the worst thing.

The GTA 6 Situation: Why We're Waiting Until 2026

Remember when we all thought we'd be stealing cars in Vice City by Christmas 2025? Yeah, that's not happening. On May 2nd, Rockstar dropped the bombshell: GTA 6 got delayed to May 26, 2026. Cue the collective groan from gamers and a noticeable dip in Take-Two's stock price.

"We want this game to be absolutely legendary when it drops—not just another sequel."
— Rockstar's PR spin on the delay

The silver lining? This isn't another Cyberpunk 2077 situation. Rockstar's being upfront about needing more time, and let's be real—after the GTA Trilogy remaster disaster, we should probably be grateful they're not rushing it.

The 2025 Game Lineup: No GTA, No Problem?

Take-Two's playing 4D chess with their release calendar, spacing out major titles so each gets its moment. Here's the confirmed roster:

Game	Release Date	Platforms
Mafia: The Old Country	August 8, 2025	PS5, Xbox, PC
NBA 2K26	Early September 2025	All platforms
Borderlands 4	September 23, 2025	PC, Switch 2, consoles

Pro tip: If you're into strategy games, Civilization VII dropped back in February and is already eating everyone's free time with its cross-play features.

Why This Actually Makes Sense

At first glance, delaying your biggest cash cow seems insane. But look closer:

No cannibalization: Mafia, NBA 2K, and Borderlands each get their own spotlight
DLC pipeline: Expect tons of post-launch content to keep us busy until GTA 6
Marketing breathing room: Rockstar can now go ALL IN on GTA 6 hype later

What's Next? (Besides Crying About GTA 6)

While we wait, here's what to watch for:

    Late 2025 Predictions
    More GTA 6 trailers (duh)
Borderlands 4 story expansions
Surprise mobile drops from Zynga
That one friend who still won't shut up about Red Dead 3

  

Take-Two's playing the long game here. Yeah, the delay sucks, but with this lineup? 2025's still gonna be wild.

The Bottom Line

GTA 6 got ~~delayed~~ perfected, but Take-Two's giving us plenty to play while we wait. Between Mafia's gritty storytelling, NBA 2K's new features, and Borderlands' chaotic fun, there's something for everyone. Just maybe don't check your stock portfolio if you invested based on that original 2025 release date.
