During the earnings call, CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed confidence in the timeline but remained cautious about guaranteeing an exact date.

Zelnick refrained from going into specific details about the game’s development, but praised Rockstar Games’ pursuit of perfection: "Rockstar seeks perfection. I never claim success before it occurs... we're all running scared and looking over our shoulders."
