EA Adds ‘Don’t Delete’ Message to Madden NFL 27 in Bid to Keep Players From Making Room Ahead of GTA 6
EA has added a “Don’t Delete” pop-up to Madden NFL 27, urging players to keep the game installed and teasing an update. Although the message does not name Grand Theft Auto 6, its Vice City-style imagery and timing have led players to read it as a playful attempt to hold their attention before GTA 6 arrives.
The pop-up refers to an encrypted signal on 17 November; EA also promoted an 18 November update with a joke about GTA 6’s reported 210GB size. Madden NFL 27 launched on 13 August for PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, while GTA 6 is due on 19 November for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. An initial typo in the pop-up was reportedly fixed quickly.
In short
- Madden’s pop-up asks players not to uninstall the game.
- Fans link its imagery and timing to GTA 6.
- Madden’s teased update is due on 17 November.
