PC gamers were probably disheartened to learn that, much like all previous Rockstar games, Grand Theft Auto 6 would be arriving a little later on Windows.

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. Unsurprisingly, there’s outrage. PCGamer says that there’s “no technical reason” for GTA 6 not coming to PC at launch, while TechRadar’s Matt Hanson says the lack of a PC release confirmed his “worst fears.” Those are just comments among…

While it was unveiled a little earlier than planned, this has only made it possible for even more people to watch it many, many times. At the time of writing, over 70 million people have seen the GTA 6 trailer over on YouTube. By comparison, “Baby Shark” has amassed around 13 billion views at the time of this writing, so GTA still has some way to go, but we’re…

Shady behaviour might be part of the Grand Theft Auto DNA, but leaking video game trailers on TikTok before launch is probably not what developers had in mind. Especially not when it can be traced back to a senior Rockstar developer’s son.  The fact that fans will need to wait more than a year for the next instalment in the GTA saga (or, as one viewer close to the author expressed this morning, “2025 just means not 2024”) did not diminish the enthusiasm when Rockstar Games released the GTA VI…
