Last week’s Xbox Developer Direct set up Microsoft’s gaming division for a stacked 2026, particularly with the long-awaited Fable revival set to land this fall. Obviously, the gaming industry has an 800-pound autumn gorilla lurking in the form of GTA 6’s November launch, but Xbox Game Studios head Craig Duncan isn’t overly concerned about what Rockstar’s planning.
“I mean, it’s more that they’re going to do what they’re going to do,” Duncan says when asked about GTA 6’s impact on Xbox’s release plans in an exclusive interview with GamesRadar+. “My job is to do what we should do for the best of our games. So yeah, we don’t… there’s always other games, and there’s always other things we have to consider.”
I doubt Xbox is entirely sticking its head in the sand when it comes to GTA 6 – I wouldn’t expect Gears of War: E-Day to launch on November 19, for example – and certainly, every indication suggests that it’d be a bad idea for any game to release up against Rockstar’s open-world epic. But Duncan suggests that it’s just one factor among many in setting a release date.
