Waiting for GTA 6’s PC release might save you dropping an extra $20 for access to some special shops, based on my wading through GTA 5’s editions soup

On June 24th, Rockstar Games announced details about GTA 6, which will not be available on PC at launch. The PC version of GTA 5 was released on April 14, 2015, a year and a half after the console version, featuring enhancements and additional content not available in the original release. The PC version has since become the definitive experience for GTA 5, with many features from special editions of the console version eventually included, though some content was made purchasable. For GTA 6, the ultimate edition will include exclusive access to five shops, raising concerns about whether PC players will have access to these features without additional costs. The landscape of game monetization has changed, and there are questions about whether PC players will miss out on exclusive content due to platform choice. Players of the standard edition may face disadvantages in accessing certain shops only available to premium purchasers.
