Xbox recently announced the delay of Fable to 2026, and it intrigued the interests of GTA 6 fans. The game was initially scheduled to release between October-November 2025 and was expected to clash with the release of Rockstar Games’ upcoming Grand Theft Auto title. After the recent update about Fable, popular GTA YouTuber TGG (X/@TGGonYT) stated:

Another user named Aaron H. (X/@Cyber_Fox_) stated that game developers got a free pass to delay their upcoming projects:

“With Fable being delayed, I think all studios should get a free pass this year to push back a game’s release date. All they have to say is "We don't want to release around GTA 6" and just wait it out.”

X user PJ (X/@truth_pj) commented on what measures other video game developers were taking to avoid clashing with Grand Theft Auto 6’s release:

“EA said they're happy to move the next Battlefield to 2026 if GTA 6 releases 25. The whole industry is looking at this game, scared to sh*ts they'd have to release at the same time as R*, finding way to somehow release now or 26”

While Rockstar Games has yet to reveal the definitive release date for Grand Theft Auto 6, other game developers are seemingly trying to avoid a conflict with the previously announced 2025 release window.
