Take-Two seemingly hinting at eventual Grand Theft Auto 6 PC release
‘Historically, Rockstar has started with some platforms and then moved to others’
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has seemingly teased plans to bring Grand Theft Auto 6 to PC at some point.
Grand Theft Auto games have historically been released for consoles first before making their way to PC at a later date.
Therefore, it’s anticipated that GTA 6 will come to PC following its PS5 and Xbox Series X/S release this fall, even if it this has yet to be confirmed.
In an interview with IGN, Take-Two boss Zelnick discussed the growing importance of the PC gaming business, and the publisher’s strategy for releasing titles for the platform.
“So with Civilization 7 it’s available on console and PC and Switch right away,” he said of Firaxis’ recently released game. “With regard to others in our lineup, we don’t always go across all platforms simultaneously. Historically, Rockstar has started with some platforms and then historically moved to other platforms.”
“We have seen PC become a much more and more important part of what used to be a console business, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see that trend continue,” he added. “Of course, there will be a new console generation [too].”
Grand Theft Auto 6 could generate more than $1 billion from pre-orders alone, according to research firm DFC Intelligence, which has predicted it will be by far the biggest launch of 2025 in all of entertainment.
DFC forecasts that GTA 6 will generate $3.2 billion during its first year on sale, which is double what its predecessor managed back in 2013, and significantly more than 2024’s biggest movies Inside Out 2 ($1.7bn) and Deadpool & Wolverine ($1.3bn).
