Grand Theft Auto VI PC Launch May Occur After Console Release

Speculation Mounts: Will GTA 6 Arrive on PC?

Take-Two Interactive's CEO hints at a potential future PC release for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6), fueling anticipation among fans. While an official PC announcement remains absent, the company's history and recent statements suggest a strong possibility.

Take-Two's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, recently confirmed with IGN that Civilization 7 will launch simultaneously on consoles and PC. However, he noted Rockstar Games' established pattern of staggered releases across platforms. Referencing past releases of GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, Zelnick indicated that a similar approach might be taken with GTA 6. While not explicitly confirming a PC release, the implication is clear: a PC version is likely, but not at launch.

Strong PC Sales Projections for GTA 6

Zelnick highlighted the growing significance of the PC market, stating that PC versions of multi-platform games can contribute up to 40% of total sales. He expressed confidence in GTA 6's success across all platforms, including consoles, despite recent reports of declining console sales. He believes the game's impact will boost console sales and that the increasing PC market share is a positive trend.

While GTA 6 is slated for an autumn 2025 release, a precise PC launch date remains unannounced. Stay tuned for updates on our Grand Theft Auto 6 page.

Expansion to Nintendo Switch 2?

During Take-Two's Q3 Fiscal Conference Call, Zelnick expressed interest in bringing their titles to the Nintendo Switch 2. This signals a potential shift in strategy, as Nintendo's audience expands. With Civilization 7 already confirmed for the Switch, the possibility of future Rockstar Games titles on the platform is significantly increased.
