Devolver Digital Boldly Launches Game on GTA 6 Release Day

by Olivia May 21,2025

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 ride the wave of this monumental announcement by planning to launch a new game on the very same day. Devolver Digital took to X/Twitter to humorously declare their intention to release a mystery title alongside GTA 6's launch, showcasing their characteristic chaotic yet strategic marketing approach.

Following Rockstar's long-awaited reveal of the GTA 6 release date, Devolver Digital promptly responded with a message: “You can’t escape us.” This cheeky statement was accompanied by their announcement to launch a game on May 26, 2026, underscoring their commitment to this bold strategy.

You can’t escape us.

Devolver Digital boasts an impressive portfolio of smaller-scale yet impactful titles, including hits like Hotline Miami, Enter the Gungeon, The Messenger, Katana Zero, and Cult of the Lamb. Whether this mystery game will be a sequel to an existing franchise or an entirely new venture is still a mystery. The company has several upcoming projects, such as Baby Steps and Stick It to the Stickman, slated for release before the end of 2025, and Enter the Gungeon 2 and Human Fall Flat 2 expected in 2026. Notably, developer No Brakes Games has already clarified that Human Fall Flat 2 will not be part of this May 26 release plan.

As the first numbered entry in Rockstar’s acclaimed sandbox series since 2013, anticipation is sky-high, with many eager to play from day one. Devolver Digital is uniquely positioning itself to capture some of that excitement with its unconventional approach, though the exact nature of their plan remains to be seen.
