Rockstar Games, the renowned developer behind the Grand Theft Auto series, has announced that GTA 6 will be released for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 in Fall 2025. However, the company has not provided a clear answer regarding the highly anticipated PC version of the game, leaving PC gamers wondering when they will get their hands on the latest installment of the popular franchise.
During a recent conference, Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games’ parent company, addressed questions about the potential PC port of GTA 6. When asked about the lack of an announcement for the PC version, Zelnick responded, “Well, the lack of an announcement is not something that could be set in stone as near as I could tell, because the only thing that happens after the lack of an announcement is an announcement, I suppose, or a continuing lack of an announcement.” While his answer did not confirm a PC release, it hinted at the possibility of one in the future.
Rockstar Games has a history of releasing their titles on consoles first before eventually launching them on PC. This approach allows the company to focus on initial sales surges on consoles and later refine the game for PC, often resulting in enhanced versions with improved graphics and features. “Rockstar’s pattern of phased releases suggests that a PC version of GTA 6 is likely, even though they haven’t made an official announcement yet,” said Michael Pachter, a gaming industry analyst at Wedbush Securities.
The absence of a formal announcement for the PC version of GTA 6 has not diminished the expectations of fans. GTA 5, the previous installment in the series, followed a similar release pattern, with the console versions launching in September 2013 and the PC version arriving in April 2015. This precedent has reinforced the belief among gamers that GTA 6 will eventually make its way to PC.
The delayed announcement of the PC version of GTA 6 could be a strategic move by Rockstar Games to maintain interest and buzz around the game. By withholding information about additional platforms, the company can generate renewed attention for GTA 6 after its console launch, keeping the game in the spotlight for an extended period.
While PC gamers eagerly await official confirmation of GTA 6’s PC release, they can find solace in Rockstar’s track record and the likelihood of an eventual announcement. In the meantime, the gaming community will continue to speculate and discuss the potential enhancements and features that a PC version of GTA 6 might offer, keeping the anticipation alive.
The wait for a PC version of GTA 6 may be longer than some fans had hoped, but Rockstar’s history and the recent comments from Take-Two Interactive’s CEO suggest that an announcement is likely to come in the future. Until then, PC gamers can look forward to the console release of GTA 6 in Fall 2025, knowing that their patience may be rewarded with an enhanced and optimized PC version later on.
