Overview

• Devolver Digital co-founder Nigel Lowrie told IGN that GTA 6 is "potentially the AAAAA game," pointing to its unmatched scale and cultural impact.
• Rockstar has set a global release for May 26, 2026, moving the title out of an earlier 2025 timeframe.
• Developers and publishers are reported to be reconsidering their launch schedules to steer clear of GTA 6’s window.
• Coverage notes that the quintuple‑A label is rhetorical, extending earlier "AAAA" usages by companies such as Ubisoft rather than signaling a formal classification.
• Analysts have issued ambitious projections—such as a possible $80 price and about $7.6 billion in revenue within 60 days—that remain estimates rather than confirmed figures.
