Why hasn’t GTA 6 been announced for PC yet?

GTA 6 It’s on its way, and while there’s still a long way to go before it’s in our hands, expectations are growing every day. Rockstar Games plans to release the game in autumn 2025 —if there is no delay— but fans are still doubtful will it come out on PC or not?.

At the moment the only official fact is that GTA 6 It will be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Until now, its developers have remained silent regarding a possible launch outside of Sony and Microsoft consoles. But Take-Two Interactive is aware that the lack of details about the game’s availability on PC is causing concern among the public.

Strauss ZelnikCEO of parent company Rockstar Games, addressed the issue during a recent conference appearance (via VGK). The manager avoided explicit statements about whether GTA 6 Whether it comes to PC or not, it did leave some important clues to take into account.

The businessman said that the lack of announcement GTA 6 for PC isn’t necessarily something set in stone, although its concepts can’t help but be mysterious. “The only thing that happens after a missing announcement is an announcement, I guess; or that announcement remains missing. I guess that can happen as well,” he said.

But beyond some mystery, there’s something logical for the long-awaited launch, Take-Two leader He made a point that cannot be ignored.:

“Rockstar has an approach to platforms that we have seen before, and we will make more announcements over time. I think the right strategy for our business is to be where the consumer is, and historically this company has been about reaching consumers wherever they are. There is.” that they are, on whatever platform makes sense, over time.

Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive

What does it mean? What if Rockstar Games repeated the strategies they’ve already used in previous releases? probably GTA 6 will be released on PC one to two years later than on consoles.

We are waiting for news about GTA 6 on PC

If experience with GTA V And Red Dead Redemption 2 serve as a predecessor It is logical to assume that we will have to wait a year or more to receive GTA 6 on PC. Let’s remember this Grand Theft Auto V It was originally released on PS3 and Xbox 360 in September 2013, but didn’t arrive on Windows until April 2015.

WITH Red Dead Redemption 2 Something similar happened, although the gap between consoles and PC was somewhat narrower. The game debuted on PS4 and Xbox One in October 2018, before making its way to PC 13 months later in November 2019.

So if history repeats itself with GTA 6, the public will have to be patient before it becomes available on their PC. The fact is that between its appearance on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S and its subsequent release on Windows, you will have to take into account not only the waiting time, but also pray Rockstar sticks to the original release window and the game will be released on consoles in the fall of 2025, as promised.

The studio has a pretty poor track record when it comes to meeting release deadlines for its games. In fact, a few months ago there were rumors that GTA 6 It could be delayed until 2026 due to delays in its development. A situation that could influence the decision to study finally impose the return of its engineers to offices. An order that caused controversy and discomfort among employees, but which the company defended by saying it was done for safety reasons.
