Speculation Mounts: Will GTA 6 Arrive on PC?
Take-Two Interactive's CEO hints at a potential future PC release for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6), fueling anticipation among fans. While an official PC launch remains unconfirmed, the company's history and recent statements suggest a strong possibility.
Take-Two's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, recently spoke with IGN, revealing that Rockstar Games' release strategy often involves a staggered rollout across platforms. He cited past releases of GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 as examples, both initially launching on consoles before making their way to PC. While not explicitly confirming a PC version of GTA 6, Zelnick's comments strongly imply it's under consideration.
PC's Growing Importance in Gaming
Zelnick highlighted the escalating significance of the PC gaming market, noting that PC releases can contribute up to 40% of a multiplatform game's total sales. This underscores Take-Two's awareness of the PC market's potential and its likely influence on GTA 6's future release plans.
Despite concerns about declining console sales, Zelnick remains confident in GTA 6's success across all platforms, believing its release will boost console sales as well. He emphasized the increasing market share held by PC gaming.
GTA 6's Release and Future Plans
GTA 6 is slated for a Fall 2025 release, but a concrete PC release date remains elusive. The absence of a confirmed PC launch at this stage hasn't dampened expectations, given the historical precedent set by previous Rockstar titles. Stay tuned for updates on our Grand Theft Auto 6 page.
Expansion to Nintendo Switch 2?
Take-Two's interest extends beyond PC. During a recent conference call, Zelnick expressed enthusiasm for bringing their games to the Nintendo Switch 2, citing the platform's broadened appeal. With Civilization 7 already confirmed for Switch 2, the possibility of other Take-Two and Rockstar titles following suit is certainly intriguing.
