Grand Theft Auto 6 hype is now in overdrive thanks to the game’s first trailer arriving online. One of the questions that has followed is whether or not GTA 6 will be available on PC.
Rockstar Games had a certain way of doing things back when it was developing GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 in the past decade, so to have a better understanding of what’s happening with GTA 6 in the future, our best bet is checking what Rockstar did in the past.
Will GTA 6 be on PC?
We now have confirmation GTA 6 won’t be coming to PC on launch. It will only be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
Though it might be disappointing having to wait for GTA 6 longer than you already did if you’re a PC gamer, this process ensures the PC port is well-optimized and players avoid any nasty performance bugs in the computer version.
Historically, Rockstar doesn’t release its games for PC and console simultaneously, so the delay here was to be expected. The developer, for example, first released GTA 5 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in September 2013 and only released a PC version in April 2015—after the game had already been ported to PS4 and Xbox One. Years later, Rockstar used the same strategy for Red Dead Redemption 2 when the game first came to PS4 and Xbox One in October 2018 and only arrived for PC in November 2019.
It’s a sad reality for those who were eager to put GTA 6 to the test on their powerful gaming rigs, but the silver lining is one day it will be possible. That just won’t be in 2025.
