Devolver Digital Plans to Launch Game on GTA 6 Release Day

Rockstar Games has officially announced that Grand Theft Auto 6 will hit the shelves on May 26, 2026. In a playful twist, indie game publisher Devolver Digital has decided to crash the party with a release of its own on the very same day. Devolver Digital cheekily shared its plans on X/Twitter, announcing a mysterious new title set to launch alongside the highly anticipated GTA 6. This audacious move underscores Devolver Digital's commitment to its earlier promise of releasing a game when Rockstar finally revealed the release date for GTA 6. Their bold message? "You can’t escape us."

Devolver Digital boasts an impressive catalog of smaller-scale yet critically acclaimed titles, including gems like Hotline Miami, Enter the Gungeon, The Messenger, Katana Zero, and Cult of the Lamb. Whether they'll unveil a sequel to one of these beloved series or surprise us with something entirely new remains a tantalizing mystery. Before the end of 2025, fans can look forward to Baby Steps and Stick It to the Stickman. Moreover, Enter the Gungeon 2 and Human Fall Flat 2 are slated for 2026, though developer No Brakes Games has firmly stated that Human Fall Flat 2 won't be part of the May 26 showdown.

We'll have to wait and see how this bold strategy unfolds.
