GTA 6 Delayed to 2026 – This is the awesome game that is coming in 2025 that you can play

We all know that what is going to happen is finally happening: GTA 6 has been delayed. Originally scheduled to be released in 2025, it is almost certain that the most anticipated game of all time will now arrive on May 26, 2026.

But that doesn't mean 2025 will go bankrupt in history, it's a disappointing year. Stay away from it! We've already had some amazing versions this year Clear and obscure: Adventure 33,,,,, Kingdom Comes: Save 2,,,,, Prince Blueand Split novelthere are more in the pipeline. In fact, dozens of them. If you need a second Samurai fix this year, Borderlands 4 can meet your collaborative mess needs, even a brand new console and a game from a small company called Nintendo, there is the ghost of Yotei.

This is everything you have to expect for the rest of 2025, and there is no word “Grand Theft Auto 6” in the title.

What's next?

Since GTA 6 was scheduled to be later this year, you're almost certain that you haven't made any room in the gaming calendar for the next few months. But, just in case you do, there will be some massive declines coming soon. Doom: The Dark Ages Arriving on the Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC on May 15, it looks like an incredible Gothic reimagining of shooters we know and love. Following soon is a matter of all soul fans, because Elden Ring Nightreg Xbox, PlayStation and PC fell on May 30. It's a co-op Roguelike, and therefore a whole new territory for Frofsoft, but if you're always looking for faster studio core recipes, it could be the backbone of your multiplayer night for the foreseeable future.

Skip a month to June and you can take your next wild adventure at Hideo Kojima Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Arriving on June 26, the trailer is already full of wild and weird ideas, so we hope this trailer will push the envelope higher than the predecessor of the FedEx simulator. It is difficult to walk on a large scale without making mistakes when talking about games. Dunes: Awakening Landed on PC on June 10. Please be aware of the sandworms and drink plenty of water.

Switch 2

With GTA 6 now disappearing, the biggest event of the year is undoubtedly Nintendo Switch 2. The new console will be launched on June 5th and along with its first major game: Mario Karting World. The Switch 2 version was also released on the same day The Legend of Zelda: Breathing in the Wild and The tears of the kingdomso you will be able to play these classics with better resolution and frame speed. Then Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tourthe console's mini-game-based tutorials and a bunch of third-party games that enter the system, including Hogwarts Legacy,,,,, Spit novel,,,,, Street Fighter 6,,,,, Yakuza 0 Director's Cut,,,,, Cyberpunk 2077,certainly – Fortnite.

However, June is only the beginning of a few weeks later Donkey Banana It will arrive on July 17 to ensure that Switch 2 does not have mandatory 3D platforming games. From what we've seen so far, it looks like a banana worth a visit. You can also expect later this year Metroid Prime 4: Beyond,,,,, Pokemon Legend: ZA and Hyrule Warriors: age for incarceration. Oh, a small game called Hollow Knight: Silkobviously, this will indeed arrive in Switch 2 and everything else this year.

Big hitter

There is no three to four months of big hitters entering the Christmas holiday, and that will not be the end of the year. Although not officially announced yet, we will definitely get a new one call of Duty also EA Sports FC 26 Around that time.

The launches of two large shooters will be seen in September: Border 4 On the 12th, marathon On the 23rd. You know what weird violent fun will be in the border area, but this time the gun is guaranteed to be better. The marathon is more like an unknown person, but extracting the Sagittarius from the mind behind fate is definitely something worth paying attention to.

Playstation's long-awaited follow-up to Tsushima, Yotei's Ghostwill arrive on October 2 and bring a story of revenge with a group of dark masked warriors – hopefully this year's Assassin's Creed Shadow will only make you want more plots.

There may be some other things to be excited about, too. While we don't have a confirmed date, we hope to expect much-anticipated games for 2025, e.g. Outside World 2 and Crimson Desertalso in the last part of the year.
