The GTA 6 PC release is still unconfirmed, but recent comments from Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick have given players something to discuss about the update. Here's what he said and what it means for the GTA 6's potential PC launch. Let's dig in.

What Did Zelnick Say About GTA 6 PC Release Update?

On September 17th, a shareholder asked Take-Two about the PS5 Pro shortage and PC plans. CEO Strauss Zelnick answered it as a general question about PC launches. He said the company goes where there is a "meaningful audience," and that PC is becoming more and more important to Take-Two. But he never mentioned GTA 6 specifically. So it's just a good sign, but not a confirmation.

GTA 6 PC Release Update

GTA 6 will launch only on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S this November. It's single-player, with no online mode and no microtransactions at launch. Rockstar hasn't shared a launch time, and PC has no date at all. For now.

Why Does PC Release Always Come Second

Zelnick told Bloomberg's Jason Schreier at the Interactive Innovation Conference in Las Vegas that Rockstar starts on console because you are judged by serving the core. He also said Sony has no deal keeping GTA 6 off PC. It's just Rockstar's habit. GTA 5 reached PC about 19 months after console, and Red Dead Redemption 2 took about 13.

GTA 6 PC Release update

If you look at the latest data, PC made up only about 5% of NBA game sales in 2007. Zelnick now believes it could hit 45% to 50% for a game like GTA 6. Newzoo also expects the PC and console market to reach $103.7 billion by 2028, with PC growing faster. That's too much money to ignore.

When Will GTA 6 Launch on PC

I think 2027 is the safest bet. If we copy RDR2's gap, we will land in December 2027. Copy GTA 5's, and we will land around June 2028. Twitch's CEO also hinted that multiplayer arrives next year, so I wouldn't be shocked if Rockstar pairs it with a PC version.

But GTA 6 is massive, so a rushed port would definitely hurt. I'd take a late, polished launch over a broken one.

If you own a PS5 or Xbox, I'd play on November 19th (check our countdown timer to see how many days are left until the game drops). Waiting a year means dodging spoilers here and there the whole time. If you only have a PC, don't plan around it before late 2027. The upside of waiting is that PC versions usually bring mods, like GTA 5 did, so you can explore the game even more.

PC is coming, probably, just not on launch day. Pick your platform and get ready for Vice City!
