GTA 6 release window has one major downside, fans complain

GTA VIhasn’t shown us too much yet at this point, but one thing is already clear: this is going to be an absolutely massive game that takes up a huge amount of our time.

This is great, of course, but one has to wonder: will we have time for anything else in 2025 onceGTA VIlaunches?

Over on theGTA VIsubredditfans are already worried about what looks to be an increasingly stacked 2025, andGTA VI’s place within it.

One of the major concerns seems to be around the 2025 release ofMafia: The Old Country, a game fans ofGTA VIwill definitely be interested in playing. Unfortunately, if gamers have to choose between the two, it seems obvious where most will be focusing their time and money.

“I hate that Mafia is competing withGTA VIin the same year,” one user wrote. “I really like those stories and gameplay. I hope it drops beforeGTA VI.”

“Mafia: The Old CountryandGTA VIreleasing at the same year won’t really make any difference as long as the new Mafia releases beforeGTAVI,” another users reasoned.

“They know the entire universe will be playingGTA VI,all the attention will be onGTA VI,so there’s no way they will release it afterGTA VI,people will be busy playing it and not giving a shit about any other new game, they have that all in consideration.”

It’s worth noting that Take-Two Interactive owns both Mafia and Grand Theft Auto, so it would seem an odd move to release the new Mafia anywhere nearGTA VI. We can probably assume, then, we’ll have plenty of time to finish upThe Old CountrybeforeGTA VIreleases.
