The excitement surrounding Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) continues to build, especially with hints that a PC version may eventually hit the market. Based on comments from Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick and the historical release patterns of Rockstar Games' major titles, there's a strong indication that GTA 6 could make its way to PC in the future. Dive into the latest developments and what this could mean for gamers eagerly awaiting the next big installment in the GTA series.
GTA 6 on PC: Not Confirmed, But Hinted At
While GTA 6 has not been officially announced for PC, recent statements from Take-Two Interactive's CEO have sparked speculation. In an interview with IGN on February 10, 2025, Strauss Zelnick discussed the platform strategy for their upcoming titles. He highlighted that while Civilization 7 would launch simultaneously on both console and PC, other games in their portfolio often follow a staggered release pattern.
Zelnick noted, "Historically, Rockstar has started with some platforms and then historically moved to other platforms." This pattern is evident with past titles like GTA 5, which debuted on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in September 2013, followed by PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in November 2014, and finally on PC in April 2015. Similarly, Red Dead Redemption 2 was released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in October 2018, with a PC version following in November 2019.
Although no concrete confirmation has been made regarding GTA 6 on PC, Zelnick's comments suggest a keen interest in eventually bringing the game to this platform. Fans had hoped for a simultaneous launch across all platforms, but it seems likely that PC gamers may need to wait a bit longer.
Take-Two's Confidence in GTA 6 Across All Platforms
Zelnick also emphasized the growing significance of the PC market for their games. He revealed that a PC version of a multiplatform title can account for up to 40% of total sales, underscoring the platform's importance. "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.
Despite reports of declining sales for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Zelnick remains optimistic about GTA 6's performance on consoles. He believes the game will not only perform well but also boost console sales. "When you have a big title in the market and we have many of them coming, historically that has sold consoles," he stated.
Looking ahead to 2025, Zelnick anticipates a surge in console sales, driven not just by Take-Two's releases but by other major titles as well. "And I think that will happen this year. I don't think tariffs are going to be our friend, but 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. So I'm not concerned about that [console sales falling]. I think the trend that you'd want to focus on is this increasing share of the market that is reflected in PC."
GTA 6 is slated for a Fall 2025 release, though specific dates remain unannounced. Keep an eye on our Grand Theft Auto 6 page for the latest updates and news.
More Take-Two and Rockstar Games Possibly on Switch 2
In a recent Take-Two Interactive Q3 Fiscal Conference Call on February 6, 2025, Zelnick shared insights into their plans for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. He noted their long-standing relationship with Nintendo and their willingness to support the platform when it aligns with their game releases.
Zelnick pointed out a shift in Nintendo's audience, stating, "the Switch device can support any audience." This perspective was reinforced with the announcement that Civilization 7 would be available on the Switch. He concluded, "As you may have noted, Civilization 7 is now on Switch. So while we have nothing specific to report, we actually would fully expect to support Switch."
This opens up exciting possibilities for fans hoping to see more Take-Two and Rockstar titles on the next generation of Nintendo consoles.
