GTA 6 to Skip PC at Launch Despite Big Market

Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick discussed the company's multi-platform release strategy, particularly concerning Grand Theft Auto VI. Zelnick confirmed that delaying the PC version will result in approximately 40% revenue loss – the typical earnings from PC sales. However, the company remains committed to staggered platform releases.

The GTA franchise has historically followed this pattern, with PC versions arriving later – partly due to Rockstar's complicated dynamic with modders. This decision isn't driven by slowing PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series console sales, meaning GTA 6 will maintain the established release approach.

Assuming GTA 6 launches in fall 2025 as anticipated, PC gamers will likely need to wait until 2026. The upcoming installment carries enormous industry expectations – its debut trailer shattered multiple YouTube records. The gaming sector watches closely as GTA 6 may potentially break the $100 price point barrier, setting new precedents that could benefit the entire industry.
