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 not explicitly confirmed, Zelnick's comments to IGN on February 10, 2025, suggest a staggered platform release strategy, mirroring the rollout of previous Rockstar titles.
Take-Two's Stance: A Gradual Approach
Zelnick highlighted the success of a phased release strategy, citing the examples of GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2. Both titles initially launched on consoles before later seeing PC releases. While Civilization 7 will enjoy simultaneous console and PC launches, Zelnick's comments strongly imply a similar, delayed PC release for GTA 6.
PC's Growing Significance: A Lucrative Market
Zelnick emphasized the expanding importance of the PC gaming market, noting that PC versions of multiplatform games can contribute up to 40% of total sales. This underscores Take-Two's awareness of the PC market's potential and suggests a strong financial incentive for a future PC port of GTA 6. Despite concerns about declining console sales, Zelnick expressed confidence in GTA 6's success across all platforms, believing its release will boost console sales as well.
The Future of GTA 6: A Fall 2025 Release (Consoles First?)
GTA 6 is slated for a Fall 2025 release, but the specific date and platform details remain unannounced. While a simultaneous release across all platforms would be ideal for many fans, Take-Two's history and Zelnick's statements point toward a console-first release, with a PC version following at a later date.

Nintendo Switch 2: A Potential New Frontier for Take-Two
In a separate announcement during Take-Two Interactive's Q3 Fiscal Conference Call on February 6, 2025, Zelnick indicated a growing interest in bringing their games to the Nintendo Switch 2. This shift in strategy, driven by the Switch 2's broader appeal, suggests a wider platform reach for future Take-Two and Rockstar titles.
