GTA 6 is set to release in fall 2025, generating immense excitement among gamers after a decade-long wait. Concerns arise from EA regarding potential competition with its upcoming Battlefield title, with both games possibly launching around the same time. Although no official release date for GTA 6 has been confirmed, analysts suggest a price range of €80 to $100. The game is unlikely to be available on PS4, given its advanced requirements. The first trailer was revealed on December 5, 2024.
The highly anticipated arrival of GTA 6 is no longer a secret, and it’s safe to say that when it finally debuts globally, it will be a monumental success. After waiting more than a decade, gamers are buzzing with excitement. However, some industry players are feeling a bit uneasy about its launch…
EA’s Concerns Amidst the GTA 6 Buzz
Recently, the parent company of Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive, reaffirmed that GTA 6 is set to release in the fall of this year. But if you’re keeping up with gaming updates, you know that it won’t be the only major title hitting the market.
Several other games are slated for release by the end of 2025, including Ghost of Yotei from Sucker Punch, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater Remake from Konami, Death Stranding 2 from Hideo Kojima, and a new Battlefield from EA. The studio has recently made an exciting announcement about reviving its iconic franchise and aims to leave a lasting impression.
While a specific release date for the next Battlefield installment hasn’t been disclosed, the latest financial reports indicate it’s anticipated for the fiscal year 2026. This means we can expect the new Battlefield game to launch by March 31, 2026, at the latest. However, CEO Andrew Wilson has mentioned that a delay beyond this fiscal year is a possibility.
In a discussion with Chris Schoell, a UBS analyst, he revealed that if there were to be a delay for GTA 6, EA might also consider postponing Battlefield for the sake of their game’s success.
Is GTA 6 a Threat to Other Game Studios?
During his address, Andrew Wilson acknowledged the potential for GTA 6 to be delayed until early 2026. With Battlefield expected to release before April 2026, it could face fierce competition from GTA 6, especially if both games launch simultaneously, risking player attention for the latter.
Currently, GTA 6 is slated for a fall release, while Battlefield is anticipated before April 2026. Despite the circulating rumors, it seems unlikely that EA would schedule its release around October or November unless Rockstar announces a delay for GTA 6. Therefore, it’s reasonable to speculate that the FPS might debut early next year. Stay tuned!
