How GTA 6 Delay And Switch 2 Launch Could Impact Video Games In 2025 And Beyond
- Rockstar Games postponed the launch of GTA 6 from its initial Fall 2025 schedule to May 26, 2026.
- The delay occurred because the game required more development time, as insiders and reporter Jason Schreier explained that the initial deadline was unrealistic.
- The postponement caused panic among developers and disrupted other game releases, including the Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake, which may move to 2027 to avoid competition.
- According to a Push Square poll, over 55% of respondents believe the May 2026 release will be delayed again, reflecting uncertainty despite Rockstar's statement about the new date.
- This delay suggests significant industry-wide scheduling challenges and could influence gamers' spending habits, while the GTA 6 launch may dominate releases in 2026 and beyond.
