Take-Two's Boss Hints at No Simultaneous GTA 6 PC Launch

Feb 10, 2025 1:03 PM

It appears PC gamers might have to wait for Grand Theft Auto 6, as Take-Two's Strauss Zelnick suggested in a recent interview that the game may not launch on PC simultaneously with console versions. Historically, Rockstar has delayed PC releases for its major titles, such as GTA 5, which arrived two years after its console debut. Although a PC version is expected given the success of past GTA titles on the platform, Zelnick emphasized that simultaneous multi-platform launches are not always the studio's approach. Consequently, it could be as late as 2026 before PC players can enjoy GTA 6.

Will Grand Theft Auto 6 be available on PC at launch?

No, it is unlikely that GTA 6 will be available on PC at launch, with a release date possibly pushed back to 2026.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is one of the most anticipated video game releases, following the massive success of its predecessor, GTA 5, which sold over 165 million copies worldwide. GTA 6 is expected to build on its legacy with an expansive open world and engaging gameplay, but fans are now apprehensive about another delay for PC players, given Rockstar's historical trend of staggered releases across platforms. The gaming community is eager for more information as the official fall release date approaches.

Honestly, Rockstar’s PC delay strategy feels like a tradition at this point—annoying, but not entirely surprising. Guess it’s time for PC players to mentally prep for the long haul and hope the wait means a polished, mod-friendly masterpiece.

Ah, the classic Rockstar move—keeping PC gamers on their toes with delayed releases. While it’s a bummer, at least it gives us time to upgrade our rigs before diving into what’s sure to be a massive, system-pushing game.
