GTA 6 launch prompts rival game publishers to delay 2025 release schedules

Rockstar Games is set to launch Grand Theft Auto 6 in Fall 2025. This has led rival gaming publishers to delay finalizing their 2025 release schedules, fearing competition from the highly anticipated title. Take-Two Interactive confirmed that GTA 6 is on track for its release, although delays are possible. Rockstar has a history of postponing major games, including previous GTA and Red Dead titles. Some developers, like Ubisoft, remain confident about releasing games near GTA 6's launch. Rockstar is also refining its content to avoid insensitive portrayals, indicating a change in its approach.
