Take-Two CEO hints at possible GTA 6 PC release following console launch: Know what’s cooking

GTA enthusiasts received a tantalising update on GTA 6 from Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive. Although the game's release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S is set for Fall 2025, the fate of its PC release remains uncertain.

In December 2023, Rockstar Games excited fans with the first GTA 6 trailer and announced a 2025 release window for consoles. However, information regarding a PC version was conspicuously absent. This has led to rampant speculation, with some suggesting a delayed PC launch and others hoping for a simultaneous release with consoles.

During a recent interview with Video Games Chronicle, Zelnick provided a cryptic update on the PC version. While he did not confirm or deny its development, he acknowledged the absence of a PC announcement. Zelnick emphasised Rockstar's strategy of prioritising “being where the consumer is,” indicating a potential for a future PC release based on market demand.

Historically, Rockstar has prioritised console releases, with PC versions often arriving later. Titles like GTA 4, GTA 5, L.A. Noire, and Red Dead Redemption 2 all launched on PC months to years after their console debuts. Insights from former Rockstar animator Mike York support this trend, hinting at a possible one-to-two-year delay for GTA 6's PC version.

Despite the ambiguity surrounding the PC release, excitement for GTA 6 remains high. The initial trailer, hinting at a return to Vice City, has fueled nostalgia among long-time fans. The introduction of new protagonists, Lucia and Jason, has further heightened expectations.
