Previously, Rockstar announced that the release of "GTA 6" would be postponed from May 2026 to November of the same year. While this news disappointed players, it received a positive response from peers.IO Interactive studio recently publicly stated that this postponement has created a more favorable release window for its new game "007: Dawn".

Hakan Ablak, CEO of IO Interactive, admitted in an interview that the release of "007: Dawn" at the same time as "GTA6" may have a huge impact."It would be a lie to say that the spring schedule seems unaffected," Ablak said. "But it must be admitted that 'GTA 6' is a good thing for the industry, and now there is sufficient time between the two."

They said: In the current economic environment, if two full-price AAA masterpieces are released too close to each other, most players will be unable to afford them at the same time, which may lead to the marginalization of "007: Dawn".

Although the postponement of "GTA 6" makes the spring schedule "look quite relaxed", it will still face fierce competition in March 2026 - "007: Dawn", "Saros", "Red Desert" and "Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Remastered" and other masterpieces are on sale together. In addition, "Resident Evil 9: Requiem" is scheduled to be released in February. The game market in the first half of 2026 will be extremely crowded.
