It didn't much of this year's Summer Game Fest to realise that, in racing to escape the orbit of https://www.eurogamer.net/gta-6-everything-we-know-so-far-9357">GTA 6, the https://www.eurogamer.net/gta-6-release-date-black-hole">games industry has created a new problem: a September 2026 so packed with releases that it's going to take some dedication - not to mention time and money - for players to get through even a fraction of them all.
