PC gaming is the real next-gen and now’s the best time to switch

Cyberpunk 2077 offers an immersive gaming experience on high-end PCs, showcasing advanced technology such as real-time reflections and path tracing for enhanced visuals. The game runs seamlessly at maximum settings on an RTX 5070Ti, achieving over 120fps in 4K resolution. The current gaming landscape indicates that next-generation gaming is primarily driven by PC technology, which remains more viable due to stable hardware prices compared to rising console costs. Modern platforms like Steam and the Epic Games Store have simplified PC gaming, making it more accessible and often more economical. Recent advancements, including ray tracing, enhance even older titles like Half-Life 2. Major console games are increasingly launching on PC simultaneously, and PlayStation titles are appearing on Steam within a year of their console release. Speculation about future consoles suggests they may adopt PC-like features, but they are unlikely to match the performance of top-tier graphics cards.

Why GTA 6 will release on PC but likely not on launch day

GTA 6 has been officially confirmed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with speculation about a PC version. Take-Two Interactive has hinted that a PC release is likely, although no official announcement has been made. The CEO of Take-Two indicated that the company typically focuses on console launches first. Historically, Rockstar has delayed PC releases for major titles, with GTA 5 launching on PC 18 months after its console release and Red Dead Redemption 2 launching 13 months later. This pattern suggests that GTA 6 may launch on consoles in Fall 2025, with a PC version expected between late 2026 and early 2027. The popularity of GTA Online and Rockstar's acquisition of Cfx.re, a key player in the modding community, further support the likelihood of a PC release.

GTA 5’s free Enhanced PC update spoiled by missing in-game text chat, but it may only be temporary

Grand Theft Auto 5 has received an Enhanced update on PC, featuring ray-traced graphics, support for AMD FSR and NVIDIA DLSS, and new luxurious vehicles for GTA Online. Players who own the previous Legacy version can upgrade at no cost, but the Enhanced version requires double the RAM and graphics card memory. Enhanced version players cannot interact with Legacy players, creating a community divide. The update includes kernel-based anti-cheat protections, which have raised concerns about intrusiveness and false positives. In-game text chat has been removed, leading to player dissatisfaction and discussions about its importance for accessibility and communication. Players have also reported issues with transferring progress between versions. Many are expressing interest in news about the upcoming GTA 6 trailer and its console release.

There are concerns about potential delays in the console release, and fans are awaiting further updates from Rockstar. Historically, Rockstar has staggered releases, with PC versions following console launches, which raises uncertainty about the timeline for GTA 6. The optimization process for PC games can be time-consuming, and there are concerns about technical issues at launch.
