How Will Grand Theft Auto VI's Delay Impact The Games Industry?
Rockstar Games It was the news that video gamers around the world were dreading: Grand Theft Auto VI was being delayed. The long-awaited sequel was due to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in the Fall of 2025, but earlier this month, Rockstar Games announced that its crime epic will now launch on May 26 next year. '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 its statement. It added that it needed 'extra time to deliver at the level and quality you expect and deserve'. Grand Theft Auto VI follows on from GTA V which has become one of the best-selling games of all time since it was released in 2013. It's sold more than 200 million copies, but this sixth instalment is set to dramatically surpass its predecessor and have a wider impact on the entertainment industry. Within its first year, GTA VI is projected to earn $3 billion. A billion of that will come from pre-orders alone, according to research from DFC Intelligence, as reported in the Financial Times last year. However, the delay means that the games industry will miss out on $2.7 billion in revenue, according to a report by Ampere Analysis, a data and analytics company based in London. It is believed that the loss will come from a downturn in console sales. GTA VI's release is predicted to act as a catalyst for many casual gamers to upgrade their hardware by purchasing current generation systems, like a PlayStation 5, but now many may wait until next year. Chris Hewish, chief strategy officer at Xsolla, a financial technology company in Los Angeles says that GTA VI's Fall release would have actually truncated its impact on the games industry in 2025 anyway. 'The projection is a big number, but the industry is much larger than that. The delay creates a lot of opportunities for other developers to move into that [Fall] Ampere forecasts that the games industry will still grow by one percent this year, despite GTA VI's move. For the first time, gaming will generate just over $200 billion ($201.3, precisely) while Rockstar's game will trigger a growth of 2.2 percent in 2026. 'The demand from people to play games hasn't diminished just because Grand Theft Auto has moved to next year' Hewish explains. 'We may see more people acquire a Switch 2 now instead and buy more games on that platform than they would have otherwise' he says. Nintendo Nintendo's new console, the Switch 2, is going to be released on June 5 and it will sell 15 million units within its first year, according to Nintendo's president, Shuntaro Furukawa. Hewish believes that the games industry will feel the impact of GTA VI's delay the most in 2026. He explains that some publishers may now try to move the release date of their game forward from next year to the Fall of 2025 to capitalise on the space left behind by Rockstar. 'This will have an impact on the developers , especially if launch dates are moved into this year. Now [developers] may have to crunch throughout the summer. That may be the untold story here; the impact on the teams themselves' he says. The delay has not dampened the world's appetite for GTA VI, however. After announcing the new release date, Rockstar revealed its second trailer for the game. Within days, it had been viewed over 475 million times across various platforms across the internet. As it stands, it's been watched 113 million times on YouTube alone.

The TV personality, 44 - who celebrated Mother's Day by taking a trip to Paris for her daughter's 13th birthday - briefly appeared in the trailer which dropped on Tuesday, prompting fans to flock to social media to share their thoughts. Ryan Murphy 's latest series is set to premiere in Fall 2025 and the cast also includes Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash-Betts, Sarah Paulson and Teyana Taylor. At one point in the two-minute teaser, Simpson could be seen angrily tossing a drink onto another character before quickly cutting to another scene. Over on X, one penned: 'I love to see Jessica Simpson returning to acting. She's an underrated actress.' Simpson has taken on roles in a number of films over the years such as The Dukes Of Hazzard (2005), Employee Of The Month (2006) and Blonde Ambition (2007). She also had a recurring role in the hit series That '70s Show during the fifth season where she played the character of Annette. Her last credit is when she voiced herself in the animated series Duncanville for one episode back in 2022. Jessica has recently put her main focus into her clothing brand as well as diving back into her music roots. 'If that was Jessica Simpson I watching,' another typed out, and one added, 'Y'all got Jessica Simpson out of retirement?!?! Okay...' An X user also typed out, 'And Jessica Simpson?? Whoah, Disney+ isn't holding back anymore.' 'I think I peeped my girl Jessica Simpson somewhere in there too. They got me lol,' one commented, and another wrote, 'Jessie Spano on here... Jessica Simpson with an appearance...I'm GAGGING #AllsFair.'

'If that was Jessica Simpson I watching,' another typed out, and one added, 'Y'all got Jessica Simpson out of retirement?!?! Okay...' 'I think I peeped my girl Jessica Simpson somewhere in there too. They got me lol,' one commented, and another wrote, 'Jessie Spano on here... Jessica Simpson with an appearance...I'm GAGGING #AllsFair' Other celebrities that have been cast in the project in recurring roles include Brooke Shields, Meryl Steep's daughter Grace Gummer and Ed O'Neil. While most plot details have remained under wraps, cast member Sarah Paulson has briefly opened up about what viewers can expect. The actress - who is no stranger to working with Ryan Murphy - also gushed about working with Kim during an interview with Yahoo Entertainment last year. 'I think it is absolutely time for people to take Kim Kardashian seriously as an actress. She was absolutely excellent in American Horror Story: Delicate.' She also added, 'I think the show we're about to do together is going to be a tremendous amount of fun and she's going to be glorious on it. I have absolutely no doubt about that. Zero.' Simpson's return to the screen comes nearly five months since she announced her split from husband Eric Johnson back in January. At the time, the singer revealed the separation in a statement to People and shared: 'Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage. 'Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.' The pair tied the knot in 2014 and also share three children: Maxwell, 13, Ace, 11, and Birdie, six. Two months earlier in March, Jessica dropped her latest EP titled Nashville Canyon: Part 1 which contains a total of five tracks including Use My Heart Against Me and Blame Me. In one song titled Leave, the star seemingly hinted that Johnson may have cheated on her following their heartbreaking split. During a joint interview with sister Ashlee Simpson for The Cut in February, Jessica talked about creating the album. 'Making this record wasn't about having a hit. It was just about having a vibe. There's really not a lot of that in L.A. right now. It's formulaic,' she explained. 'I wanted to break that mold for myself personally. I don't care if anything's a hit. I'm not with a record label. I don't expect it to even be on the radio.' The singer then told her sister Ashlee, 'I appreciate that you realize how deeply rooted, in unexpected ways, this project is for me to set myself apart from old versions of myself. It's not like it's not me singing.' Jessica has been keeping busy and recently enjoyed a lavish trip to Paris as she rung in Mother's Day and also her daughter Maxwell's 13th birthday. The mom-of-three uploaded an assortment of photos from the special getaway - and was also joined by her mother Tina. One snap was taken as both Jessica and Maxwell sat on a comfy couch inside their hotel room with the Eiffel Tower lit up behind them. The trio explored the city by stopping by museums and a number of restaurants in the city. 'Happy Mother's Day to ALL! Life doesn't come with instructions… it comes with Mamas! A Mother's love is something no one could ever explain,' the actress penned to her followers. 'It is made up of deep devotion, compassion, protection, sacrifice, comfort, persistency, intuition, hope, faithfulness, stamina and courage. 'It is because of my Mother that I have learned that love begins not from being perfect (although it is profound perfect love), but by the very root of being present and consistent,' she added. 'For everything I am today, my Mother's love showed me the way. There is no role in my life more essential than that of motherhood.…' Simpson also gushed about her eldest daughter and revealed that her own mom Tina 'surprised us with the most beautiful celebration of Parisian life and love. '3 generations 3 connected hearts 3 spirit filled souls 3 women who smile, laugh and shine brighter through it all. It is official...I AM THE MOTHER OF A TEENAGER and I LOVE IT.'

BEIGE, TAUPE, OATMEAL: Subtle shades that scream wealth quietly
Anne Hathaway wore a khaki trench coat with sequinned trousers at the Ralph Lauren Fall 2025 show (left)/Deepika Padukone exuded elegance wearing a beige embroidered kurta set at the WAVES 2025 (right) Colours evoke emotions and reflect personalities, but did you know they reflect wealth too? Shades like beige, ivory, taupe and more are known to exude elegance, luxury and prosperity. These neutral colours are a favourite of the ultra-rich, and there is a reason for it. Alessandro Sartori, the artistic director of Ermenegildo Zegna, an Italian luxury goods label, told The New York Times, 'The ultrawealthy don't want to show off, and beige colours are good in that sense… This class of people is super discreet and doesn't want to be seen.' 'To be fashionably super-rich,' he adds, 'is to be clad in the anodyne colours (colours that are neutral, bland and that are not intended to evoke strong emotions or statements)... It is all within a limited tonality — stylish, but not too much out of the perimeter of being noticeable.' PANTONE 'S MOCHA MOUSSE IS ALL ABOUT ELEGANCE Pantone Colour Institute named 'mocha mousse' its 2025 Colour of the Year. The Pantone committee was inspired by the feelings of comfort, indulgence and subtle elegance it evoked. Leatrice Eiseman, the institute's executive director, said, 'When we do colour/word association, the creams, the taupes, the camels signify that something has longevity, lineage, and is secure.' SHADES OF WEALTH & TIMELESS LUXURY Ivory Taupe Ecru Greige Stone Camel Oatmeal Dusty rose and blush WHAT NEUTRAL TONES CONVEY Soft browns and neutral shades convey various emotions and statements. Shilpi Gupta, a fashion designer, says, 'These colours elevate confidence and suggest a lifestyle that does not need external validation. They also highlight quality and craftsmanship.' According to Bhawna Rao, a fashion designer, 'Soft hues are visually soothing and are associated with mindfulness. Neutrals convey permanence and reliability. They suggest a lifestyle that is not swayed by fads. Essentially, they project a quiet form of power.' Muted tones and minimalist dressing are central to the visual language of modern wealth. They highlight quality over quantity… They signal 'old money' values. The understated tones suggest generational wealth, where luxury is lived, not flaunted Bhawna Rao, fashion designer HOW TO WEAR NEUTRALS Mix textures, not just colours Mix cottons, linens, knits and silks to add dimension to the look. Think oatmeal-toned linen shirt on white denim or a taupe silk slip dress with chunky ivory knit. Pair a cream cashmere sweater over wide-leg beige linen trousers with a textured waist belt. Go monochrome and layer smartly For example, layer an ivory tank with a stone-toned oversized blazer and wide-leg trousers in the same family, adding depth with tone-on-tone accessories like suede loafers or a nude clutch. Add an element that pops the overall look Add a rich chocolate brown leather bag, gold jewellery or tan sandals to a blush or camel outfit. For special outings, opt for a bold red lip or statement earrings to elevate the look. For glam evenings, go with satin Pair a dusty rose silk midi dress or a greige co-ord set in velvet with nude heels and minimal gold jewellery for the 'less is luxe' vibe.
