Take-Two Interactive's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, recently addressed the company's staggered platform release strategy, particularly concerning the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI. Zelnick confirmed that delaying the PC release of GTA 6 will result in a significant revenue shortfall—approximately 40% of typical PC sales—but insisted the company remains committed to its phased rollout approach.
This strategy aligns with past GTA releases, where PC versions have historically launched later. This delay, in part, stems from Rockstar's complex history with the modding community. However, Zelnick clarified that the decision isn't a response to slowing PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S sales; GTA 6's release strategy won't change this established pattern.
Projecting a fall 2025 release for GTA 6, PC gamers might not experience the game until 2026. The game's launch is highly anticipated, not only by Take-Two but the entire industry. The initial teaser trailer shattered YouTube records, fueling speculation that GTA 6 could surpass the $100 million sales mark, potentially boosting the entire gaming sector.
