GTA 6 PC Release Hinted To Come At A Later Date

Based on Take-Two CEO's statements and Rockstar's release history, a PC version of GTA 6 is likely, though not yet confirmed. This article explores the possibility and the implications for PC gamers.

GTA 6 PC Release: A Strong Probability

While no official PC release date has been announced for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6), Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick hinted at a future PC launch during a February 10, 2025 interview with IGN. Zelnick noted Rockstar's pattern of initially releasing major titles on consoles before later bringing them to PC, citing GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 as examples. While Civilization 7 will launch simultaneously on consoles and PC, Zelnick's comments strongly suggest a similar staggered release for GTA 6.

PC Sales: A Significant Factor

Zelnick highlighted the increasing importance of the PC market, stating that PC versions of multiplatform games can contribute up to 40% of total sales. This underscores the financial incentive for Take-Two to eventually release GTA 6 on PC. Despite concerns about declining console sales, Zelnick remains confident in GTA 6's overall success across all platforms, believing its release will boost console sales as well.

Release Timeline and Future Outlook

GTA 6 is slated for release in Fall 2025, but a PC release date remains unannounced. Stay tuned to our Grand Theft Auto 6 page for updates.
