‘No offense to Zelda’ but GTA 6 and COD Modern Warfare 4 are ‘the two biggest games of the year’, Activision exec says

An Activision executive has called GTA 6 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 “the two biggest games of the year,” according to Video Games Chronicle. The comment came in response to a question about competition in 2026, with the executive adding, “No offense to Zelda,” while highlighting the scale and anticipation surrounding Rockstar’s and Activision’s upcoming titles. The remarks align with industry expectations for a fall 2026 release window, though no official launch dates have been confirmed. For players counting down to GTA 6’s November 19, 2026, release, the statement reinforces the game’s position as a cornerstone of next-gen gaming, potentially shaping console and PC hardware demand in the lead-up.
