The approach of GTA 6 distorts the gaming calendar so that studios are running away from the fall of 2026, as if from the kill zone. And against this background, it is being seriously discussed whether the game, released back in 2015, is capable of competing with Rockstar.
The reason is simple: a meme in the spirit of “I can’t wait for the 29th,” dedicated to the updated version, went viral on Reddit The Witcher 3which will go to game owners for free. There are less than two months left until the release of GTA 6, set for November 19, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series, but the meme makes it seem that the remaster could become a serious threat to the Rockstar hit.
The difference in weight categories is obvious to everyone, including those who joke about Roach and monsters. When someone noticed that The Witcher 3 – “a game ten years ago”, he was immediately corrected:
She is actually eleven years and three months old.
At the same time, CD Projekt RED does not arrange any duel, but does exactly the same as the others, carefully giving way to Rockstar. The scheme was worked out back in RDR 2 in 2018, when major publishers unanimously released October. A free update to an old game also does not take anything away from GTA 6, since it is a gift to an existing audience, and not a fight for a new buyer.
“Ballads of the Past” will conclude the story of The Witcher 3, and not pave the way for The Witcher 4
Among the commentators there were immediately many gamers who are not going to launch GTA 6 on release day at all. Part of the audience is waiting for the PC version, which has not yet been announced. Others honestly admit that they haven’t even completed GTA 5 and would prefer to spend time on a backlog that already contains Blood of the Dawnwalker, Crimson Desert and 007: First Light.
