Will GTA 6 be all you play once it comes out? (Rockstar Games)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While some publishers worry that GTA 6<\/a> is going to make selling other games impossible this autumn, the head of PlayStation’s indie team disagrees.<\/p>\n

It is not an exaggeration to say GTA 6 will be the biggest video game release<\/a> of the year. Scratch that, it\u2019s going to be the biggest release in all of entertainment<\/a> this year. In fact, it’ll probably be the biggest entertainment launch in human history.<\/p>\n

As such, it\u2019s completely believable that other publishers and developers are eager to avoid releasing their games<\/a> anywhere near GTA 6, for fear that they\u2019d be overlooked. It seems likely even the Nintendo Switch 2<\/a> is trying to stay out of its way.<\/p>\n

This applies especially to indie studios, that lack the same kind of marketing power that Rockstar has, although Sony\u2019s own indie boss is optimistic that GTA 6\u2019s launch will be beneficial for smaller games.<\/p>\n

The comments come from Greg Rice, who serves as the head of PlayStation Creators, which means he’s responsible for maintaining the company\u2019s relationship with indie developers, as well as being head curator for Day of the Devs – a non-profit that raises awareness for indie titles.<\/p>\n

While attending, on behalf of Day of the Devs, GDC (Game Developers Conference) this week, in San Francisco, Rice told GamesRadar<\/a> how he\u2019s heard other developers admit they\u2019re \u2018worried about [GTA 6] sucking all the space out.\u2019<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, they\u2019re apprehensive about launching a game even in the same month as GTA 6, since \u2018that’s all anyone’s gonna be playing.\u2019 Which isno doubt extra infuriating, as Rockstar and owner Take-Two have yet to say exactly when GTA 6 will launch, only that it\u2019ll happen this autumn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rice very much agrees that GTA 6 will \u2018do gangbusters and sell millions of copies,\u2019 but he doesn\u2019t think other games are doomed to fail if they happen to come out around the same time.<\/p>\n
