Take-Two Chief Confident GTA 6 Will Boost Console Sales in 2025

Take-Two Interactive's CEO Strauss Zelnick recently addressed concerns regarding Grand Theft Auto 6's absence on PC at launch. Scheduled for release in fall 2025 exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, GTA 6's delayed PC release raises questions about missed opportunities in the gaming landscape. Zelnick acknowledged the significance of the PC market, stating that it can account for up to 40% of overall sales for multiplatform titles. Although GTA games typically land on PC after the console release, analysts suggest that delaying this major blockbuster on PC could be a significant misstep.

While GTA 6 will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in fall 2025, the PC version might not arrive until 2026 or later, based on historical patterns of Rockstar's game releases.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is poised to be one of the biggest entertainment launches in history. As the next installment in the iconic series, it is highly anticipated by gamers worldwide. Rockstar Games has historically launched its titles on consoles first, with PC releases following several months to a year later. Despite the growing demand for simultaneous launches across platforms, it seems the developer is sticking with its traditional release strategy. Many fans speculate that the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro may be the preferred platform for the game, setting the stage for a major surge in console sales upon its release.
