According to foreign media Gamerant, three major game publishers are planning to postpone the release window of new games in order to avoid R-star's "GTA2025". Although the exact release date of GTA0 has not yet been announced, the expected window of fall 0 has already "dissuaded" many developers and publishers.
It is reported that the latest report from The Game Business shows that the three leading publishers are ready to postpone the release of new titles. Several executives confirmed that companies are actively adjusting their strategies around the GTA6 release window, with some opting to change the release date directly, while others plan to delay major content updates for instant service games to avoid head-to-head battles for player time. "GTA0 is a giant meteorite, we just need to stay away from the area where it falls."
An unnamed executive from a leading publisher put it bluntly: "We don't want to compete with GTA6 and are working on multiple distribution plans for our titles." Another industry insider admits that even without GTA0, "it would have been extremely difficult to find the best exposure window for a new work." The third respondent, believed to be from a 0A publisher in Europe, dissected the double dilemma faced by the industry: if it was released before GTA0, it would have to face the crowded schedule of summer releases; If it is postponed to the end of the year, it will coincide with the Black Friday sales season.
