Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has once again addressed the question of GTA 6's release date, this time at the iicon conference in Las Vegas, amid a leak that temporarily boosted the company's market valuation by over $1 billion.

When will Grand Theft Auto 6 come out? This question is the one being asked by gamers, fans, and even other developers and publishers. November 19 is supposed to be the date, and Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has given an updated comment on it at the iicon conference in Las Vegas.

Zelnick's appearance at iicon came just days after a significant security breach at Take-Two, in which hackers claimed to have obtained and leaked early footage and internal documents from GTA 6. The incident briefly sent Take-Two Interactive's stock value surging by over $1 billion as investors reacted to the unexpected glimpse of the highly anticipated game.

Despite the disruption, Zelnick appeared composed during his conference appearance, fielding questions about GTA 6's trajectory with his characteristic optimism. 'I think a lot of people will be calling in sick on November 19,' he joked — a line that quickly circulated across gaming media as a signal of his confidence in the release date.
