GTA 6 Trailer 2 Hints at PS5 and Xbox Release, No PC Sighted

May 06, 2025 3:25 PM

The highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI has received a major update with the release of its second trailer, which reveals a specific launch date of May 26, 2026, exclusively for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The lack of mention of a PC release raises questions about Rockstar's approach to multiplatform launches, as the studio has historically delayed PC versions of their games. Despite this, groans from the community about PC gamers missing out on an immediate launch endure, given the platform's critical sales contribution. In an interview, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick hinted at a future PC release, though no concrete timelines were provided. Fans remain eager for an eventual PC version, especially given the growing significance of the platform in overall video game sales.

Will GTA 6 release on PC at the same time as console now it's been delayed to May 2026?

It seems unlikely that GTA 6 will release on PC simultaneously with console platforms, as Rockstar has a history of launching their games first on consoles. While a PC version will likely follow, gamers should not expect a day-and-date release.

Grand Theft Auto VI marks the next chapter in the legendary series known for its open-world gameplay and intricate storytelling. The franchise has garnered immense popularity and has had a lasting impact on gaming culture. The previous installment, Grand Theft Auto V, set sales records and remains a mainstay in the video game landscape years after its release. As anticipation builds, players are excited yet anxious about the direction and innovations GTA 6 will bring to the beloved franchise.
