PC gamers eagerly awaiting the release of GTA 6 will have to be patient. Although the long-awaited Rockstar Games title has already confirmed its arrival on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S for fall 2025, the parent company, Take-Two, has not yet officially announced its PC version. However, its recent statements have suggested that, although it will not be available from day one, it is practically a fact that it will eventually arrive.

As has happened with previous installments in the series, the PC debut could be delayed by a few months or even a year. This strategy has been common for Rockstar, which also released GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 first on consoles and later on PC. According to Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, the PC is an increasingly important platform, but the company has its own approach to distributing its titles.

Take-Two leaves the door open for a PC launch

In a recent interview, Zelnick explained that Rockstar's strategy has been to release its games initially on consoles. and then expand its availability to other platforms. "In the case of Civilization VII, we have launched the game simultaneously on consoles and PC, but other titles follow a different schedule," said the director.

Although he did not confirm a specific date for the PC version, his words make it clear that it is an option under study. The PC represents a key part of the business, with some titles generating up to 40% of their total sales on this platform.

When could GTA 6 arrive on PC?

If we go by Rockstar's track record, GTA 6 on PC could arrive between six months and a year after the console launchThis would place its release in mid to late 2026.

This possible delay follows the trend set by previous deliveries. For example, GTA V It came to PC about 18 months after its release on previous-gen consoles, while Red Dead Redemption 2 landed on computers a year after its debut on PS4 and Xbox One.

While waiting over a year may be frustrating for some players, this could translate into higher quality optimization. The PC version of GTA 6 will be able to take advantage of powerful graphics technologies such as NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS, as well as improvements to loading times and performance on high-end hardware configurations.

Why does Rockstar prioritize consoles?

Rockstar's focus on consoles could be related to the revenue they represent for Take-Two. According to recent data from the company, consoles generate around 40% of its profits., while PC and other platforms account for only 8%.

In addition, a console-only release in the first year could influence a noticeable increase in hardware sales. Zelnick has pointed out that the release of GTA 6 could significantly boost PS5 and Xbox Series sales, as many gamers might purchase a console simply to enjoy the game.

However, the growth of the PC market is undeniable, and More and more players are demanding that titles arrive simultaneously on all platformsThe anticipation for GTA 6 is so great that any decision to delay its arrival on computers is under great scrutiny.

Although Rockstar has not made an official announcement regarding GTA 6 on PC, statements from its parent company make it clear that it is only a matter of time. The company's track record, the weight of the PC market and sales potential indicate that computer gamers will be able to enjoy the new instalment, although possibly with a delay compared to the console versions.
