September 2026 has too many new video games trying to escape GTA 6

Major publishers are shifting big releases into September 2026 to avoid competing with GTA 6’s November launch.

After PlayStation State of Play, games like Marvel’s Wolverine, Control Resonant, Silent Hill Townfall, and Onimusha: Way of the Sword were dated for September or early October.

More release dates are expected at Summer Game Fest, which could further crowd an already unstable fall schedule.

The result is a packed lineup of high-profile launches, with publishers trying to dodge GTA 6’s impact.
