Some fans were inconsolable, Take-Two&#8217;s shareholders needed the smelling salts, and my immediate reaction was, simply, <em>god we won&#8217;t be playing this thing on PC until 2027 at the earliest<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Before the delay was announced, Take-Two had been saying Grand Theft Auto 6 was on-track for release in fall 2025. But ever since the first reveal it&#8217;s refused to announce or even confirm a PC version. Grand Theft Auto 6 is confirmed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, and nothing else.<\/p>\n<p>The gap between GTA 5 and GTA 6 also means that the gaming landscape itself has changed. PC has not traditionally been a priority for Rockstar: GTA 5 launched in September 2013 on consoles, but it wouldn&#8217;t come to PC until April 2015. Even this was something of an industry hangover. As Rockstar North veteran <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/grand-theft-auto\/ex-gta-dev-says-pc-makes-scads-of-cash-now-so-hopefully-gta-6s-pc-version-will-be-closer-behind-consoles-that-is-if-decision-day-at-the-studio-doesnt-give-us-a-last-minute-delay\/\" target=\"_blank\">Obbe Vermeej put it<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Initially the consoles were a much bigger market for a game like GTA. They just got into the habit of doing consoles first. There used to be way more money in the console versions. Now that that&#8217;s changed, hopefully the PC version will be closer behind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Vermeej&#8217;s explanation does make a lot of sense. GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas always felt like one of the major reasons to own a PlayStation 2, and two decades ago games were still mostly sold in boxes. But now PC is a much more dominant force and boasts an installed base of players that, frankly, no console could ever dream of: one recent estimate says there are <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/pc-gamers-spend-92-percent-of-their-time-on-older-games-oh-and-there-are-apparently-908-million-of-us-now\/\"><u>908 million PC players<\/u><\/a>. They might not all have a rig that can handle GTA 6, but plenty will.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QdBZY2fkU-0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Even Take-Two head honcho Strauss Zelnick admits the winds have changed, and basically said the same as Vermeej. PC is a &#8220;more important part of what used to be a console business&#8221; not least because of ongoing elements like GTA Online still boasting &#8220;enormous ongoing engagement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So at least we can confidently say that a PC version will happen: GTA 5 consistently remains one of Steam&#8217;s most-played games, and thanks to having both a standard and premium edition is somehow in the global top 20 sellers list twice.<\/p>\n<p>But Rockstar hasn&#8217;t exactly rushed to take advantage of that. The expanded and enhanced version of GTA 5 was released for consoles in March 2022, but took fully three years to make its way over to PC.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got two big concerns about GTA 6 coming to PC. The first is that Rockstar and Take-Two really can afford to take their sweet time on this: everyone knows it&#8217;s going to be the biggest game on the planet from day one, and probably break every sales record going. If GTA 5 is any indication, it&#8217;s also planned as a living experience that will last well over a decade. Which means that 26 May 2026 is the current release date, but don&#8217;t go all surprised Pikachu if Rockstar decides it needs a little longer.<\/p>\n<p>The second is that, even if GTA 6 makes that date, Rockstar is being coy about a PC release for a reason, and that reason is probably that it doesn&#8217;t even want to think about it until the console versions are in perfect shape. GTA 4 took a mere seven months to come to PC in 2008, but ever since then Rockstar&#8217;s marquee titles have seen gaps of 13 months (Red Dead Redemption 2) and 19 months (GTA 5) before appearing on god&#8217;s own platform.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:3840px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"hZmVZEmYiEprC5txkSVJtY\" name=\"Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 00-00-08.jpg\" alt=\"GTA 6 trailer\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/grand-theft-auto-6s-delay-makes-me-think-we-wont-be-playing-this-thing-on-pc-until-2027-or-god-forbid-even-2028.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2160\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Rockstar)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It&#8217;s almost unimaginable but, if GTA 6 makes its new release date and that kind of form is maintained, we might not even be looking at 2027. It&#8217;s not what anyone wants to hear, but something like a 19-month gap here would push GTA 6 PC into early 2028, almost three years out. Rockstar just <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/grand-theft-auto\/gta-2025-release-date-probably-not\/\"><u>delays games a lot<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>PCG&#8217;s EIC Phil Savage said around the time of GTA 6&#8217;s reveal that he couldn&#8217;t see the PC version &#8220;<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/so-were-not-getting-gta-6-on-pc-until-2026-at-the-very-earliest-right\/\"><u>stretching into 2027<\/u><\/a>,&#8221; but a year-and-a-half later it&#8217;s looking like that might be optimistic and, right now, feels like the most likely scenario to me.
