Grand Theft Auto VI Delayed Until May 2026
Fans had expected to return to the sun-drenched beaches and gleaming condominiums of Vice City, a fictionalized Miami, this year based on the game's first trailer, which featured Tom Petty's 'Love Is a Long Road.'
'With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception,' Rockstar said in a statement. 'We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve.'
Rockstar did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Matthew Ball, a video game analyst, said that Grand Theft Auto VI had been expected to drive the sales of PlayStation and Xbox consoles this holiday season. Few other video games had announced release dates this fall, wary of directly competing with what is expected to be a blockbuster title.
'For the rest of the market, GTA's delay provides much needed — though only temporary — oxygen,' he said. 'The title was expected to devour billions of dollars in consumer spend.'
The previous game in the franchise, Grand Theft Auto V, was released in 2013 and has generated more than $8 billion in revenue.

‘R-Type Delta HD Boosted' Comes Westward This November
Following the news that the classic shmup R-Type Delta was getting an HD remaster, we now know that the game will come Westward this November. Called R-Type Delta HD Boosted, it has all the modern features for classic retro shmups, and looks really rather lovely with it. When Delta was originally released on the PlayStation in 1998, it was a big departure for the series. Not only were the visuals in 3D, but you also had multiple ships to choose from. While the new trailer for the game (shown below) lists three playable ships: the R-9A2, RX-10, and R-13A, you can also pilot the Pow Armor once certain conditions are met. My only gripe with this release is that there will also be, hopefully optional, arranged musical tracks included. This does feel entirely unnecessary, as the music for Delta was already thoroughly excellent and was in no need of updating. All that aside, it's also worth saying that for many fans of R-Type, Delta is often regarded as being the best game in the series. It certainly has ingenious level design, which is a series hallmark, but it also blends 2D and 3D really cleverly. In any case, R-Type Delta is getting re-released on modern consoles and will be widely available again, and that makes me very happy indeed. R-Type Delta HD Boosted will be released on November 20 for Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

Swing Into Action in Marvel's Spider-Man on PlayStation Plus Soon
Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can, and PlayStation Plus subscribers can become the famous web-slinger in Marvel's Spider-Man on Aug. 19. PlayStation Plus is Sony's version of Xbox Game Pass, and it offers subscribers a large and constantly expanding library of games. There are three PlayStation Plus tiers -- Essential ($10 a month), Extra ($15 a month) and Premium ($18 a month) -- and each gives subscribers access to games. However, only Extra and Premium tier subscribers can access the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog. Here are all the games PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can access on Aug. 19. You can also check out the games all PS Plus subscribers can play in August, including Lies of P. Marvel's Spider-Man When you start this game, Spider-Man is already a pretty experienced crime-fighter. That means you aren't working your way up from fighting street-level crooks to organized criminals. No, you're swinging right into fighting heavy-hitters like Wilson Fisk and Shocker. As you're fighting these major players in the criminal underworld, you'll also have to navigate Peter Parker's personal relationships and career while still trying to help the millions of people in New York City. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach (game trial)* Hideo Kojima is back with another trippy and visually stunning game. Death Stranding 2 is set a few months after the first game in the series. The United Cities of America are connected, but humanity still faces the threat of extinction. It's up to you and your team to travel a world filled with strange enemies to answer haunting questions, like whether people are better off disconnected from one another. Note that this is a time-limited trial. PS Plus Premium subscribers can only play five hours of gameplay. If you decide to buy the game, your progress and trophies will carry over. Resident Evil 2* Sony Experience the classic 1998 PlayStation game that helped spark a media franchise. This isn't the 2019 Resident Evil 2 remaster, but the story remains mostly the same. A few months after the Mansion Incident, Raccoon City has been overrun by zombies. You'll play as rookie cop Leon Kennedy and college student Claire Redfield as they explore the city's remains and try to escape with their lives. But plan accordingly. With limited supplies scattered around the map, you might not be able to shoot your way out of every situation. Other games coming to PS Plus PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can play all of the games listed above on Aug. 19, as well as the ones listed here. *Premium subscribers only. For more on PlayStation Plus, here's what to know about the service and a rundown of PS Plus Extra and Premium games added in July. You can also check out the latest and upcoming games on Xbox Game Pass and Apple Arcade.
