Did Borderlands 4 just accidentally reveal GTA 6's release date?

Did Borderlands 4 just accidentally reveal GTA 6's release date?

The latest announcement from the Borderlands 4 development studio has reignited the debate over the still-unknown release date of GTA 6.

Was the release date of GTA 6 revealed by mistake or as a strategic move? That's a question many gamers are asking this week following a new announcement from the developers of Borderlands 4. The shooter published by 2K Games has just revealed that its release date has been moved up by a week.

Through a video posted prematurely on social media and a tweet, the Borderlands 4 teams confirmed that the title, initially planned for September 23, 2025, will finally be available a little earlier with a new release date decided on September 12, 2025.

While this sudden announcement has delighted many internet users, it also allows the debate around the release date of GTA 6 to be rekindled. Since both games are under the supervision of the same parent company (Take Two), it is entirely possible that the developers of Borderlands 4 have chosen to postpone the release date of their shooter in order to avoid being too close to the release of the behemoth that is GTA 6. A theory quickly refuted by Randy Pitchford, current CEO of Gearbox Software, the developers of Borderlands.

GTA 6 release date, the unknown that worries the industry

Of course, the chances that Borderlands 4 has been delayed to avoid GTA 6's release date are not zero. Currently, the highly anticipated next installment in the Grand Theft Auto series has no release window other than a very vague "2025."

An unknown fact that worries many players in the video game industry. According to a recent article published by TheGameBusiness , many studios are holding back the release date of their next game as much as possible to avoid finding themselves in direct confrontation with GTA 6. The latter represents such a weight in the entertainment industry that it has a good chance of avoiding many other productions that would dare to compete with it during the same release period.
