GTA 6 is skipping PC (for now) but will boost flagging console sales says Take-Two Comments by Take-Two’s CEO reinforce the idea that consoles are where GTA 6 will better perform, which is why a PC version isn’t being prioritised.
Admittedly, a PC version of GTA 6 is bound to happen (after all, GTA 5 saw a PC release eventually), but there’s been confusion on why Take-Two has opted to not have such a version launch simultaneously alongside the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions.
However, with a huge release like GTA 6 expected to launch this year, Zelnick thinks more people will be encouraged to invest in either console and thus drive up sales: ‘I think there will be a meaningful uptick in console sales in calendar 25 because of the release schedule, not just coming from us, but coming from others.’.
Considering it took GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 over a year to come to PC, it’s reasonable to assume PC owners won’t get to experience GTA 6 until late 2026 at the earliest… so long as the game does come out this autumn.
Ahead of the earnings report, IGN questioned Zelnick on GTA 6’s lack of a PC release, especially considering the PC platform has only grown more popular over the years.
