The First PS5 Game Delay Out of September 2026 Has Been Confirmed
Push Square • • technology
Key Points:
- Valor Mortis, one of the smaller game releases in the current period, risks being overlooked due to the crowded market and the upcoming release of GTA 6.
- The decision to release Valor Mortis on September 5th, well before Halloween, has puzzled some, who expected a release closer to the holiday for thematic reasons.
- September and October are exceptionally busy months for game releases, with many titles like Control, Fire Emblem, and Silent Hill competing for players' attention and budgets.
- Some believe delaying Valor Mortis to October wouldn't improve its chances, as both months are saturated with major game launches, though its unique niche might offer some protection.
- There is criticism of GTA 6's release timing, as it is expected to dominate sales and overshadow other quality games, forcing them to compete fiercely against each other for limited consumer attention.
