There was a while there where Sucker Punch seemed to be in the unenviable position of releasing Ghost of Yotei within the same general launch orbit as GTA 6, which will likely be the biggest video game release ever.
Before GTA 6 was delayed to May 26, 2026, it was on track to launch late 2025, which would put it within striking distance of Ghost of Yotei's then-confirmed October 2 release date - not an advantageous position for Sucker Punch at all. But then Rockstar announced the GTA 6 delay, and suddenly the Ghost of Tsushima studio's prospects looked dramatically brighter.
