It appears that Grand Theft Auto 6 might be playing hard to get with the PC crowd, at least initially. SO PC gamers, you might have a wait just a little bit longer!
Why? Well, the official announcement gave a nod only to the current-gen consoles, leaving PC enthusiasts on the sidelines for now. It's like the popular kid at school giving everyone else the cold shoulder – sorry, PC players! Rockstar decided to spill the GTA 6 beans a day early, thanks to a leak spilling the trailer before the big reveal on December 4. Oops, spoiler alert!
The first GTA 6 trailer spilled some enticing details. We're headed back to the iconic Vice City for some sunshine, beaches, and of course, a bit of mayhem. Meet the dynamic duo – Lucia and her rumored boyfriend, Jason, ready to dive into the world of crime. Buckle up, gamers! The ride is set to kick into gear in 2025.
The winds of rumor are suggesting that GTA 6 might be taking a detour around the PC at launch. The official word from Rockstar focused on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S for the initial release. Hold on to your keyboards, though, because a seasoned Rockstar leaker, Tez2, hinted on social media that the PC port could be cooking up a bit more behind the scenes, indicating it might take some extra time to hit the virtual streets.
If history is any indication, GTA 6 might not be taking a direct route to your gaming rig at launch. Rockstar has a knack for keeping PC gamers on the edge of their seats, with previous titles in the franchise taking anywhere from 6 to 19 months to reach PCs after the initial console release. The tradition of delaying PC versions seems to be holding strong, and the careful wording of GTA 6's announcement hints that it might not be bucking this trend. Theres a potential wait, but hey, good things come to those who wait, right?
The gaps between the release of mainline GTA games on consoles and PC have been growing steadily wider since the 2000s. The delay for GTA 5 was a whopping 18 months, partly due to Rockstar prioritizing next-gen console ports. Now, with GTA 6 set to launch in the middle of the ninth console generation, the wait for the PC version might not be a sprint but more of a marathon. While speculation suggests an April 2025 or a Q1 2025 launch, keep your eyes on the horizon for more news. Patience is a virtue, especially in the world of PC gaming!
