FAQ: IO Interactive Says GTA 6 Delay Gives 007 First Light More Breathing Room
- What did IO Interactive say about GTA 6's delay?
- CEO Hakan Abrak said he would be lying if he claimed he did not care, because GTA 6 moving from May to November gives 007 First Light a bit more breathing room.
- Is IO Interactive celebrating Rockstar's delay?
- No. Abrak said IO never wishes another studio ill, called GTA a huge industry behemoth, and said Rockstar likely had good reasons for moving GTA 6.
- Which game benefits from the extra breathing room?
- IO Interactive's 007 First Light, a James Bond game scheduled for May 27, 2026, now has a clearer launch window after GTA 6 moved to November.
- Why is this not a duplicate of other GTA 6 delay stories?
- Earlier stories focused on the delay itself or studios avoiding November. This one adds a named studio CEO discussing the original May window and a specific Bond game affected by Rockstar's calendar move.
