Video Game Releases on Hold Due to GTA VI
Rockstar's Giant Shadow
The anticipation for GTA VI is causing a ripple effect in the gaming industry. As reported in a podcast by Jason Schreier from Bloomberg, many game publishers are holding back on announcing release dates for their 2025 titles. This delay stems from the desire to avoid clashing in the market with Rockstar's next major release. Reflecting on a similar situation in 2018, publishers like Activision adjusted their timelines to steer clear of Red Dead Redemption 2. Until Rockstar officially announces a release date for their anticipated game, many potential competitors remain cautious.
