The future of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) on PC remains unconfirmed, but recent statements from Take-Two Interactive's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, suggest a potential PC release down the line. Dive into the latest developments and what this could mean for GTA 6's future.
GTA 6 on PC: Unconfirmed, Yet Promising
While Grand Theft Auto 6 has not been officially announced for PC, hints from Take-Two Interactive's CEO Strauss Zelnick during an interview with IGN on February 10, 2025, suggest that a PC version could be on the horizon. Zelnick highlighted that their upcoming title, Civilization 7, will launch on both console and PC, but noted that Rockstar Games typically rolls out their titles on select platforms initially before expanding to others.
Reflecting on past releases, GTA 5 initially launched 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 debuted on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in October 2018, with a PC release following in November 2019. Although no concrete confirmation has been made for GTA 6 on PC, Zelnick's comments indicate a strong interest in eventually bringing the game to the platform. Fans had hoped for a simultaneous PC launch, but history suggests a delayed PC release might be more likely.
Take-Two's Confidence in GTA 6's Multiplatform Success
Zelnick emphasized the growing significance of the PC market, noting that PC versions of multiplatform games can account for up to 40% of total sales. He remains optimistic about GTA 6's performance across all platforms, despite declining console sales for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Zelnick believes that major titles like GTA 6 can boost console sales, stating, "When you have a big title in the market... historically that has sold consoles."
He further predicted a rise in console sales in 2025 due to a robust release schedule from various publishers, including Take-Two. Zelnick's confidence in the market's trajectory towards PC is clear: "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 no specific date has been announced. Stay updated with the latest on our Grand Theft Auto 6 page.
More Take-Two and Rockstar Games on Switch 2?
During the Take-Two Interactive Q3 Fiscal Conference Call on February 6, 2025, Zelnick expressed enthusiasm about bringing their games to the upcoming Switch 2 console. He acknowledged their long-standing relationship with Nintendo and noted the evolving demographics of Switch users, stating, "the Switch device can support any audience."
With Civilization 7 already confirmed for the Switch, Zelnick hinted at broader support for the platform: "While we have nothing specific to report, we actually would fully expect to support Switch." This suggests that fans might see more titles from Take-Two and Rockstar Games on the Switch 2 in the future.
