Will GTA 6 be released on PC? We already know the answer from Rockstar

When asked to comment on the status of the PC version, Rockstar confirmed that all the information was in the press release.

One of the big questions about GTA 6 is whether Rockstar will pull a move similar to GTA 5 in 2013. That is, releasing the game first for consoles and a year later launching it for PC (and at that time, also for the new generation of consoles).

The first trailer for GTA 6 only tells us that Rockstar’s next open-world criminal adventure will arrive in 2025, without mentioning any platform. However, in a press release, Take-Two has announced that GTA 6 will be released on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

The press release doesn’t mention the PC, suggesting that Rockstar will again reserve the PC version for a later date, similar to what they did with Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5.

Repeating a move that’s very profitable

When asked to comment on the status of the PC version, Rockstar stood firm and confirmed that all currently available information is in the press release.

Some thought that Rockstar would adapt to modern times and abandon this absurd game of console temporal exclusivity. It’s terribly outdated to make the GTA audience on PC wait.

There’s a substantial number of people, including a huge audience in China, accessing the international version of Steam via VPN, and there are also influential individuals like GTA Online role-players who have been setting trends on Twitch for years.

But at Rockstar, they have their customs and the lucrative tradition of getting people to buy games twice, which is challenging to give up. Rockstar has undergone some high-level personnel changes in the last decade (even one of the Houser brothers left), but Rockstar remains Rockstar.

And if there’s a game that can get people to relent and buy a console version or grit their teeth for a year-long wait, it’s GTA. It’s one of the few single-player series that feels as massive as it did a decade ago. The trailer already has over 50 million views.
