Speculation Mounts: Will GTA 6 Arrive on PC?
Take-Two Interactive's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, recently hinted at a potential future PC release for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6), fueling anticipation among fans. While an official PC announcement is absent, Zelnick's comments to IGN on February 10, 2025, suggest a staggered release strategy mirroring past Rockstar titles.
Zelnick highlighted Rockstar's history of initially launching major titles on select consoles before expanding to other platforms. GTA 5's release trajectory—PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2013, followed by PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2014, and finally PC in 2015—serves as a precedent. Red Dead Redemption 2 followed a similar pattern.
Although not explicitly confirming a PC version, Zelnick's remarks indicate a strong likelihood. Given the consistent PC releases of past Grand Theft Auto installments, expectations for a future PC launch remain high, despite initial disappointment that it wasn't a day-one release.
Strong PC Sales Projections for GTA 6
Zelnick emphasized the growing significance of the PC market, noting that PC versions of multiplatform games can contribute up to 40% of total sales. He expressed confidence in GTA 6's performance across all platforms, even amidst reported declines in PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S sales. He believes GTA 6's release will bolster console sales, echoing past trends where major game releases stimulate hardware purchases.
GTA 6's autumn 2025 release date remains firm, but the PC release remains unconfirmed. Stay tuned for updates on our Grand Theft Auto 6 page.
Expansion to Nintendo Switch 2?
During Take-Two Interactive's Q3 Fiscal Conference Call on February 6, 2025, Zelnick expressed interest in bringing their titles to the Nintendo Switch 2. He cited a shift in Nintendo's target demographic and the Switch 2's broader appeal as factors driving this consideration. The inclusion of Civilization 7 on the Switch further underscores this evolving strategy.
