Microsoft fears DOOM: The Dark Ages will be overshadowed by GTA 6

The executive noted that Microsoft has chosen not to give release dates for its games, which have so far been planned for 2025 , because the company fears its games will be "overshadowed" by Grand Theft Auto 6 .

We make our plans according to GTA 6

Matt Booty said: " I think a lot of people in the industry are definitely making their plans around GTA 6. We're all looking forward to the release of this game, which is expected to be amazing. Of course, everyone in the industry wants to make sure their projects aren't overshadowed by such a big release, so we still have a choice." "We do not give specific release dates for this to happen ." he said.

Another problem that Matt Booty touched on is that there are too many games in Microsoft's internal studios . Booty said that the company needs to plan releases so that each project gets the attention it deserves, and there is no such thing as one project overlapping with another . Therefore, not giving a specific release date leaves the company room to maneuver.
