GTA 6 will not initially launch on PC, even though it has a big market share

Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick recently commented on the company's staggered platform release strategy, particularly concerning the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI. Zelnick acknowledged that delaying the PC release of GTA 6 will result in a significant revenue shortfall—approximately 40% of typical PC launch earnings. However, Take-Two remains committed to its established release model, prioritizing a non-simultaneous launch across platforms.

This approach aligns with the historical release pattern of the GTA series, where PC releases have consistently been delayed. This delay, in part, stems from Rockstar Games' complex relationship with the modding community. Importantly, Zelnick clarified that this decision is unrelated to the sales performance of the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S consoles. GTA 6's release strategy will not deviate from this established pattern.

Assuming a fall 2025 release for other platforms, PC gamers can likely expect to wait until 2026 to play GTA 6. The game's launch carries immense weight, not only for Take-Two Interactive but for the entire gaming industry. The initial teaser trailer shattered several YouTube records, fueling anticipation and hopes that GTA 6 will surpass the $1 billion sales milestone, potentially boosting the entire industry.
