Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is highly anticipated, but its PC release remains unconfirmed. However, recent statements from Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick and Rockstar Games' historical release patterns suggest a PC version is likely. Let's delve into the details.
GTA 6 on PC: A Likely, Though Unconfirmed, Future
While not officially announced for PC, Take-Two's comments strongly hint at a future release. During a February 10, 2025 interview with IGN, Zelnick discussed platform release strategies. He noted that while Civilization VII will launch simultaneously on consoles and PC, Rockstar Games often employs a staggered approach. This is consistent with past releases: GTA V launched on consoles in 2013, followed by a PC release in 2015; Red Dead Redemption 2 followed a similar pattern in 2018 and 2019 respectively.
Although no official confirmation exists for a GTA 6 PC release, Zelnick's remarks clearly indicate a strong possibility. Given the history of major Rockstar titles eventually arriving on PC, fans remain hopeful, even if a simultaneous launch wasn't achieved this time.
Take-Two's Confidence in GTA 6 Sales Across All Platforms
Zelnick highlighted the growing significance of the PC market, stating that PC versions of multi-platform games can generate up to 40% of total sales. He emphasized the continuing growth of PC gaming and its impact on the overall gaming landscape.
Despite reported declines in PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S sales, Zelnick expressed confidence in GTA 6's success across all platforms, including consoles. He believes the game's popularity will boost console sales for both Sony and Microsoft, a trend historically seen with major title releases. He further anticipates an increase in console sales in 2025 due to a strong release schedule from multiple publishers.
GTA 6 is slated for release in Fall 2025, but a specific date remains unannounced. For the latest updates, visit our Grand Theft Auto 6 page.
Take-Two and Rockstar Games on the Nintendo Switch 2?
During Take-Two Interactive's Q3 Fiscal Conference Call on February 6, 2025, Zelnick expressed interest in bringing their games to the Nintendo Switch 2. He cited a shift in Nintendo's target audience and the Switch's increased capability to support a broader range of games. The inclusion of Civilization VII on the Switch further strengthens this possibility. While no concrete announcements have been made, the future looks promising for Take-Two and Rockstar titles on the Nintendo Switch 2.
