Devolver Digital Aims to Launch Game on GTA 6 Release Day

Author : Charlotte May 25,2025

Rockstar Games has officially announced that Grand Theft Auto 6 will hit the shelves on May 26, 2026. In a bold move, indie game publisher Devolver Digital has declared its intention to launch a new game on the very same day, playfully challenging the giant in a way only Devolver can.

Devolver Digital made this announcement on X/Twitter with a cheeky nod to the monumental release of GTA 6, stating that they are set to release their own mystery title on May 26, 2026. This audacious marketing strategy seems to be one that Devolver Digital is committed to pursuing, at least for the time being.

This decision comes after Devolver Digital had previously promised to launch a game coinciding with Rockstar's announcement of the GTA 6 release date. With the date now set for May 26, 2026, Devolver Digital's message to the gaming world is clear: "You can’t escape us."

Devolver Digital boasts a rich catalog of indie hits, including titles like Hotline Miami, Enter the Gungeon, The Messenger, Katana Zero, and Cult of the Lamb. Whether they will launch a sequel to an established series or introduce something entirely new remains a mystery. The company is also gearing up to release Baby Steps and Stick It to the Stickman before the end of 2025, while Enter the Gungeon 2 and Human Fall Flat 2 are slated for 2026. However, developer No Brakes Games has confirmed that Human Fall Flat 2 will not be part of the May 26 launch.

With more than a year until its launch, GTA 6 is already shaping up to be a colossal event in the gaming industry. As the first numbered entry in Rockstar's iconic sandbox series since 2013, anticipation is sky-high. Devolver Digital, in its characteristic style, is aiming to carve out its own piece of the action on this high-profile day, though the specifics of their plans are yet to be unveiled.
