Following the widespread misinterpretation of Jason Schreier’s comments regarding the highly anticipated GTA 6, the industry insider has been frequently invited to various platforms to provide direct clarification. One such deep dive occurred during a recent appearance on the Xbox Expansion Pass podcast.
The journalist revealed that even rival game developers have reached out to him privately, inquiring about the potential release date for Grand Theft Auto VI. These studios are looking to synchronize their own schedules, hesitant to launch their flagship projects anywhere near the likely November release window for fear of being overshadowed.
For Sony, finding the perfect gap for Marvel’s Wolverine is critical, as a head-to-head collision with Rockstar’s juggernaut could severely cannibalize sales. Microsoft faces a similar dilemma with Fable. Another high-profile title potentially in the “danger zone” is the rumored remake of the original Halo: Combat Evolved. While a November 15 launch would perfectly mark the franchise’s 25th anniversary, the proximity to a potential GTA debut creates a massive strategic risk for Xbox, despite the historical significance of the date.
Ultimately, GTA VI is expected to be the definitive technical milestone for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S era. It is widely viewed as the final frontier of graphical and mechanical innovation for current hardware before the industry begins its inevitable shift toward next-generation consoles.
