A sequel to one of the best-selling video games of all time, GTA 6 is expected to demand an unprecedented amount of media and public interest when it releases. Any game releasing in close proximity will almost certainly have its sales affected, so developers are looking to avoid such as a situation as much as possible. As of right now, more than a year after the first trailer release, GTA 6 is slated to release in Fall 2025, though rumours circulating over the past 12 months have suggested a delay to 2026 is possible.
