Let’s just say that her journey didn’t lack challenges, both mental and physical.More info:…

Rockstar Games It looks like Grand Theft Auto 6 won’t come to PC when it releases in 2025. Developer Rockstar hasn’t confirmed that’s the case, but a press release put out alongside the trailer said the game would release on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, with no mention of PC.
