When is GTA 6 release date for PC? GTA producer Take-Two Interactive has confirmed the official reveal of its next game in a press release and released the trailer ahead of schedule. The publisher announced that GTA 6 will come to PS5, Xbox Series X|S gaming and entertainment systems in 2025. But there’s one thing missing here…
The GTA 6 release date for PC will be not the same as for other platforms
However, there was one notable omission from the list of platforms mentioned in the press release: PC. Take-Two doesn’t mention the PC version at all in the release, suggesting that Rockstar is following tradition with most of its recent releases. On the other hand, it does mean that PC gamers will have to wait longer than console gamers to get their hands on the latest game in the popular series.
A look at Rockstar’s release patterns
It’s worth noting that GTA 4 didn’t launch on PC until December 2008, more than seven months after the game’s Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. It’s been an even longer wait for GTA 5, which will wait two years before coming to PC, even after the PS4 and Xbox One releases. Rockstar’s last game, Red Dead Redemption 2, came to PC just a year after its initial release.
The pattern here suggests that Rockstar perhaps didn’t want to rush PC releases to ensure optimal performance or maximize console sales profits. While it may seem surprising or disappointing to some, it’s worth remembering that GTA 5 made billions of dollars, and Rockstar probably knew what a big game this was going to be. A staggered release could be beneficial for the company and allow them to focus on perfecting the game for each platform separately.
While the lack of a GTA 6 release date for PC may be disappointing for some fans, it’s important to remember that Rockstar has a history of delivering high-quality games that are worth the wait. With a confirmed 2025 release date for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, gamers can look forward to experiencing the next chapter in the Grand Theft Auto saga very soon. For PC gamers, patience may be a virtue, but it’s a virtue that will ultimately be rewarded with an exceptional gaming experience.
