GTA VI's May 2026 Delay Throws Game Industry Into Chaos as Publishers Scramble to Revise Plans
After the official transfer Grand Theft Auto VI May 2026 The gaming industry is in a state of total uncertainty. According to information from a reputable insider Jason Schreier, now all the major studios are revising their plans, and 2026 has become a 'minefield' for releases, especially in the first half of the year. No one wants to be anywhere near GTA VI.
One of the publishing houses has already postponed multiplayer project from autumn 2025 to spring 2026, but now this step is under threat: in the event of a new transfer of GTA VI, the losses will be huge. The situation is complicated by uncertainty surrounding GTA VI online release - If Rockstar relaunches the story and multiplayer separately, it will create two "explosive waves" in the market, completely eclipsing the competitors.
According to analysts, GTA VI release is capable of literally "wiping" all other releases off the radar, and now many managers are in a panic: no marketing campaign can compete with Rockstar. Even the transfer itself caused a stir: Take-Two shares fall 10%, and the moderators of the r/gta6 subreddit were forced to temporarily close the posts and fix the support hotline number.
However, this decision gave extra breath for games coming out in autumn 2025Among the potential "winners" are Bungie's Marathon, The Outer Worlds 2, Ninja Gaiden 4 and Ghost of Yotei. According to EA boss Andrew Wilson, the release window for the new Battlefield is now "cleaner", without the fear of being destroyed by Rockstar's megahit. But the main intrigue remains: When exactly will GTA VI come out and what will it “swallow” along the way?
