Honestly, I wish it was June instead, you don't tend to get many huge titles releasing in Summer so a nice big title to play across June/July would be nice and also wouldn't get in the way of many releases, it seems the perfect date to release GTA with minimal impact on other publishers, I was actually predicting that Fable would release in May 2026 but now that's fucked my prediction.
Now you're going to see a bunch of announcements for Holiday 25, Lmao. I bet a lot of publishers delayed their titles to early 26 as well due to GTA and are now considering pulling them forward back into 2025 so they can get back in the Holiday season sales, but I doubt anything actually planned for Jan-April will move, anything releasing before GTA 6 is safe. It'll just be the titles moved from 25 into 26 which may come back to 25 because they were already prepared for a release in 25 and want the holiday money.
But then it is awkward to change plans that drastically, I hope we don't end up with a barren end of year because of that.
