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.
