Will Devolver Digital actually release a game on November 19, 2026, the same day as GTA 6?

Market context

Every publisher in the industry fled to September. Devolver quote-tweeted the coverage with two words: "Not every publisher." The indie publisher has now pledged twice to ship a game the exact same day as GTA 6, re-committing each time the date moved. The logic is sneaky-smart: GTA 6 isn't on Steam at launch, Devolver's $20 games don't compete with an $80 blockbuster for wallet share, and November 19 Steam traffic will be at an annual peak with nothing new to buy. Or it's all an elaborate bit from the most meta publisher in gaming. Devolver Directs have a habit of blurring that line.
