Set to launch in fall 2025 exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, Grand Theft Auto 6 is leaving PC players behind—a move that feels increasingly outdated as PC gaming grows in significance. Addressing this omission, Take-Two's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, hinted at a later PC release during recent financial discussions. Historically, Rockstar has released major titles like GTA 6 on consoles first before extending to PC, often sparking disappointment among fans. With GTA 6's anticipated status as a monumental launch, questions surround the missed opportunities by not launching on PC simultaneously. According to Zelnick, recent console sales have plummeted for the PS5 and Xbox Series X and S, and while fans speculate successor consoles are on the horizon, he maintains confidence that GTA 6 will bolster console sales significantly. Zelnick emphasized that blockbuster titles typically drive hardware sales, suggesting a rebound for consoles in 2025, while also recognizing the increasing importance of the PC market. Many anticipate the PlayStation 5 Pro could be the premier platform for enjoying GTA 6, especially as current devices may struggle to deliver 4K60 performance for the upcoming title.
