The ground has just shifted for anyone trying to figure out the exact release
date for Grand Theft Auto 6 as 2K has altered plans for another game in its
stable, Borderlands 4. The latest entry in Gearbox's series will arrive 11
days earlier than previously announced as it will debut on September 12.

After teasing a delay, Gearbox co-founder and CEO Randy Pitchford said "the
team has been working very hard. Everything's going great, actually. In fact,
everything's going kind of the best case scenario. The game is awesome, the
team is cooking." As such, Gearbox and 2K are bringing the release date
forward. Gearbox said the decision was made after "a lot of meetings,
playtesting and incredible development work."

Sony is hosting a dedicated State of Play for Borderlands 4 on April 30
(which is tomorrow, fact fans). The stream will run for around 20 minutes or
so and you can watch it on the PlayStationΓÇÖs Twitch and YouTube channels at
5PM ET.

Meanwhile, that sound you just heard was countless game developers and
publishers scrambling to deduce what the revised Borderlands 4 date means for
GTA 6. The latter is still scheduled to arrive this fall and 2K is likely to
want to have a buffer of at least a few weeks to avoid cannibalizing
Borderlands 4 sales. If the fall release window still holds for GTA 6, that
means it should arrive sometime in October or November (2K will certainly
want to have the game out before Black Friday in that scenario).

It's been widely reported that publishers and studios are holding off on
revealing release dates for any games they have coming out this fall to see
when GTA 6 lands, so they can give that guaranteed juggernaut as wide a berth
as possible. As it happens, Sony is one of the few companies that's locked in
fall dates for major games. Marathon will drop on Borderlands 4's old date of
September 23 while Ghost of Yōtei is slated to hit PS5 on October 2. Perhaps
Sony, which is working with 2K on promoting Borderlands 4, knows more about
the GTA 6 release date than it's letting on.
