Take-Two Interactive's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, highlighted the increasing importance of PC gaming in the market and indicated that the release date for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) on PC has not yet been announced. GTA 6 is set to launch on Xbox and PlayStation in the fall of 2025. Historically, PC versions of Rockstar Games titles have been released after their console counterparts, with GTA 5 debuting on PC approximately 18 months after its initial console release. Zelnick noted that the PC version of a multiplatform title can contribute over 40% to total sales. He expressed optimism that the release of GTA 6 could boost console sales, despite current stagnation in the console market and ongoing trade disputes. The delay in announcing the PC release date may be a strategy to maximize initial console sales before offering a refined version for PC.

Take-Two Interactive's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, emphasized the growing importance of PC gaming in the industry, noting that it significantly contributes to sales for multiplatform titles. He mentioned the recent launch of Sid Meier's Civilization 7 on multiple platforms simultaneously but indicated that this strategy may not apply to all games. Speculation exists that the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) on PC may be delayed to maximize revenue by initially launching on consoles. Zelnick acknowledged that PC has become a crucial part of the gaming landscape and hinted that the release of GTA 6 on PC might not occur until after the next console generation. He also predicted an increase in console sales in 2025 due to a strong release schedule. The timeline for a PC release of GTA 6 remains uncertain, with speculation suggesting a possible 2026 launch.
