Anticipation is so high that some competing game publishers are waiting as long as possible to commit to their release dates for the fall, according to people familiar with their deliberations who asked not to be identified because they weren't authorized to speak publicly. The publishers want to see whether GTA 6 will make its deadline or slip into 2026, these people say, and they're determined to keep their own games far, far away.
‘GTA 6’ Release Date Will Decide Much of the 2025 Game Calendar - Bloomberg
It'd be funny and annoying if GTA 6 ends up causing a drought if they announce a date for it so everyone delays their games by a few months but then GTA 6 ends up being delayed anyway and nobody can bring their games back forward by a few months because plans have now adjusted to the new date which is now also in danger, Lmao.
I'm hoping GTA 6 is as late as possible, like December or the very end of November, it'll be better to launch before GTA than after GTA so if it's in December we could still get a lot of releases in November/October and publishers will skip December/January which don't tend to be packed anyway but if it's around October then October/November are going to be dead.
