Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said at a recent conference that a potential PC release for Grand Theft Auto VI isn’t set in stone yet. The Take-Two CEO was asked about a PC release, since presently the game has only been announced to arrive in 2025 for consoles, and he seemingly provided a water-is-wet type of answer while also dancing around the question. He was asked if the current announcement, or lack thereof, is set in stone.
As transcribed by VGC:
“Well, the lack of an announcement is not something that could be set in stone as near as I could tell, because the only thing that happens after the lack of an announcement is an announcement, I suppose, or a continuing lack of an announcement, I guess that could happen too. It doesn’t seem to me that either would be set in stone,”
Rockstar has repeatedly launched titles on consoles first and then eventually, even though it could be years, releasing a PC version. It had been hoped by the PC community that Grand Theft Auto VI might be an exception, and given how much closer some current console technology is to PC, it seemed a possibility but more than likely Take-Two is sticking to its guns with its prior release strategy to optimize profits across all platforms.
As transcribed by VGC:
“But Rockstar has an approach to platforms which we’ve seen before, and they will make more announcements in due time. I do believe that the right strategy for our business is to be where the consumer is, and historically what this company has done is address consumers anywhere they are, on any platform that makes sense, over time.”
So while the Take-Two CEO did not formally commit to a PC release announcement happening any time soon, players should expect one to happen at some point.
