Speculation Mounts: Will GTA 6 Arrive on PC?
Take-Two Interactive's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, recently hinted at a potential future PC release for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6), fueling fan anticipation. While not explicitly confirmed, Zelnick's comments to IGN on February 10, 2025, suggest a staggered platform rollout, mirroring the release strategies of previous Rockstar titles.
A Look Back at Rockstar's Release Patterns:
The release history of GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 reveals a pattern of console-first launches followed by PC releases. This precedent lends credence to the possibility of a delayed PC release for GTA 6. While fans hoped for simultaneous release across all platforms, Zelnick's statements indicate a strategic approach to platform deployment.
PC's Growing Significance:
Zelnick highlighted the increasing importance of the PC market, noting that PC versions can contribute up to 40% of a multi-platform game's total sales. This underscores the financial incentive for a future PC release of GTA 6. Despite concerns about declining console sales, Zelnick remains confident in GTA 6's success across all platforms, emphasizing its potential to boost console sales.
Release Timeline and Future Outlook:
GTA 6 is slated for a Fall 2025 release, but an official PC release date remains unannounced. For the latest updates, visit our Grand Theft Auto 6 page.
Expanding Horizons: Take-Two and the Nintendo Switch 2:
Take-Two's interest in the Nintendo Switch 2 platform was also revealed during their Q3 Fiscal Conference Call on February 6, 2025. Zelnick expressed a willingness to support the Switch 2, citing its broadened appeal beyond its traditionally younger demographic. The inclusion of Civilization 7 on the Switch further supports this shift in strategy.
