PlayStation has shared a list of what it believes to be the most anticipated games confirmed to launch on PS5 throughout 2026. The thing is, one of the most interesting things about the list is its most notable omission - GTA 6.
The article published on the PlayStation website includes both first-party and third-party games, so it isn't the fact that GTA 6 is being developed by Rockstar, a studio that isn't owned by PlayStation, that's keeping it out of contention. Lego Batman: The Legacy of the Dark Knight, Nioh 3, and Resident Evil Requiem are all on there.
They're joined by PlayStation exclusives such as Saros and Wolverine, and even Halo: Campaign Evolved, the remake of the original game that will mark Master Chief's arrival on Xbox's rival console, gets a mention. No love for GTA 6 whatsoever, though, which is incredibly surprising as it comes just days after reports suggested Rockstar's upcoming juggernaut is being treated like an exclusive internally by PlayStation.
That potent combination has some GTA fans fearing the worst when it comes to the next game in the series hitting its latest release date. GTA 6 was originally supposed to be here...
