Rockstar Games has officially announced that Grand Theft Auto 6 will hit the shelves on May 26, 2026. In a playful twist, indie game publisher Devolver Digital has jumped on the bandwagon, announcing their own game release on the very same day. This strategic move showcases Devolver Digital's characteristic humor and boldness in the gaming industry.
Taking to X/Twitter, Devolver Digital cheekily declared their intention to launch a mystery title alongside the highly anticipated GTA 6. Their tweet boldly states, "You can’t escape us," setting the stage for what promises to be a chaotic yet intriguing marketing strategy. Devolver Digital appears committed to this plan, aiming to capture some of the spotlight on what's expected to be the biggest game launch of 2026.
You can’t escape us.
May 26, 2026 it is then. https://t.co/eVa5bB1vrh

Known for its eclectic library featuring titles like Hotline Miami, Enter the Gungeon, The Messenger, Katana Zero, and Cult of the Lamb, Devolver Digital keeps fans guessing about what their mystery game might be. It could be a sequel to an existing series or an entirely new venture. The company is also gearing up for other releases like Baby Steps and Stick It to the Stickman before the end of 2025, and Enter the Gungeon 2 and Human Fall Flat 2 in 2026. However, developer No Brakes Games has confirmed that Human Fall Flat 2 won't be part of the May 26 showdown.
