Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games and 2K Games, has a big lineup of games releasing in 2025! While we don’t yet have any updates on GTA 6, 2K Games’ upcoming game Mafia: The Old Country release date has been revealed. Without wasting much time, let’s discuss what this means for GTA 6! As both the game releases come from Take-Two!
Mafia: The Old Country Release Date
First spotted by Ben (@videotechuk) via X, we got to know that while 2K Games hasn’t officially announced the release date for the game. Rather, it has been revealed in a blog post published on the Spanish Steam page. As per the post, the game will be released on August 8, 2025.
Aside from the leaked release date, the developers did officially announce their presence at the PAX East event! The event is supposed to be held on 8th May, and the gameplay for the game will be showcased during the event! Not only that, but there’s also a developer panel that has been set up, so we’ll get to know more about the game through the developer interviews!
What Does It Mean For GTA 6?
Well, the bigger question that most people would be asking is, what does this mean for GTA 6? If you notice, Take Two has a very packed schedule of games releasing this year! First, Mafia: The Old Country comes out in August. Right after that, Borderlands 4 is releasing in September. Last but not least, while we don’t yet know the release date, the flagship title, GTA 6, comes out this fall!
Given that all these games come from the same company, Take-Two Interactive. It is highly likely that the release date for Mafia: The Old Country has been set very strategically. It could have been done so that both games get enough time for marketing. Not only that, but it is likely that all of this is being done so that none of the games clash with each other!

In an interview, a few publishers talked about the release date for their games! While the publishers were unnamed, it was revealed that they don’t want to release their games at the same time as GTA 6.
In other news, it was recently reported that GTA 5 Beta assets from PS3 are being ported to the PC version. If you didn’t know, a beta build for the game was leaked earlier this month! The build showcased some never-seen assets, as they were likely cut out from the game’s final build.
