GTA 6 PC Release Hinted To Come At A Later Date

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 excitement among fans. While an official PC launch hasn't been confirmed, Rockstar Games' historical release patterns suggest a PC version is likely.

PC Release Remains Unconfirmed, Yet Take-Two Shows Enthusiasm

In a February 10, 2025 interview with IGN, Zelnick discussed platform release strategies. He noted that while Civilization 7 will launch simultaneously on consoles and PC, Rockstar Games often employs a staggered approach. He cited past releases of GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 as examples, both initially released on consoles before later arriving on PC.

This precedent, while not a confirmation, strongly suggests a similar strategy for GTA 6. While fans hoped for a simultaneous PC launch, Zelnick's comments indicate a strong possibility of a later PC release.

Take-Two's Confidence in GTA 6 Sales Across All Platforms

Zelnick highlighted the growing importance of the PC market, stating that PC versions can contribute up to 40% of a multiplatform game's total sales. He expressed confidence in GTA 6's success across all platforms, including consoles, even amidst reports of declining PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S sales. He believes the game's popularity will boost console sales, echoing past trends.

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

Expansion to Nintendo Switch 2?

During Take-Two Interactive's Q3 Fiscal Conference Call on February 6, 2025, Zelnick expressed interest in bringing their titles to the Nintendo Switch 2. He cited a shift in Nintendo's target audience, making the platform more appealing for a wider range of games. The inclusion of Civilization 7 on the Switch 2 further supports this expanding strategy.
