Fallout 4 og Rise of the Tomb Raider slippes samtidig, altså 10. november, i USA (sistnevnte kommer 13. november i Europa). Dette innebærer at Lara får konkurranse fra årets kanskje mest etterlengtede spill. Markedssjefen i Xbox, Aaron Greenberg, sier dog i en podcast at han ikke er bekymret, og det var heller ikke snakk om noen alternativ lanseringsdag:
"The challenge with Tomb Raider is if you go a week later you're against Star Wars Battlefront, if you go a week earlier you'll be against Call of Duty Black Ops 3 and if you go two weeks earlier you're against Halo. And then you go late and then you're like well, the consumer doesn't have any money left to buy the game so there wasn't a better scenario for us except that was the week it was not going head to head against Call of Duty or Star Wars Battlefront. We felt like the Fallout audience-they are not direct competitors per se, but you are right, it's two big, big titles launching at the same time and we hope people will buy both."
Microsoft er uansett trygge på at Rise of the Tomb Raider vil gjøre det bra ettersom det er et godt spill, og Greenberg fortsetter:
"And once you know then would you rather launch against Call of Duty, Star Wars or Fallout? So you just got to launch and stick with the date and feel confident that the game still stand up and we believe it will. It's a fantastic title."
