Valor Mortis Targets October as GTA 6 Nears Its November Launch
Valor Mortis will launch on October 13, 2026, for $39.99 for its standard digital edition, weeks before Grand Theft Auto VI’s November 19 console release. Rockstar lists GTA VI for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S and has not announced a PC version or PC release date on its official game page. money.pl
Publisher Lyrical Games is maintaining the October 13 date despite a crowded autumn release schedule, PC Gamer reported on September 18. The outlet describes Valor Mortis as a first-person soulslike from Ghostrunner developer One More Level; Steam also lists October 13 as its release date. pcgamer.com
Lyrical Games CEO Blake Rochkind said the publisher wanted the game to be something players could buy “alongside these other great games.” PC Gamer reported that the $40 price was intended to make Valor Mortis an additional purchase rather than an either-or choice. pcgamer.com
One More Level’s September 17 market disclosure lists the standard digital edition at $39.99 in the US and €39.99 in Europe on PC, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. It also lists a Deluxe Edition at $59.99 and €59.99, including access to a planned story expansion. money.pl
There is no confirmed evidence that GTA VI directly set Valor Mortis’ release date or price. The link is a publishing strategy described by Lyrical Games and reported by PC Gamer. pcgamer.com

Is the October 13 release date intended to give players enough time to finish Valor Mortis before GTA 6 arrives on November 19, or is the overlap still expected to be a concern?
-
Based on the timing in the summary, it seems positioned as a separate, lower-priced purchase in the weeks before GTA 6. Whether that is enough time will probably depend on how long Valor Mortis is and how much replay value players want from it.
-
The $39.99 price point also sounds like part of that strategy: some players may be more willing to pick it up before committing to a major November release. Still, the article summary does not say how the developers expect the two launch windows to affect sales.
