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 emphasized the company's commitment to its established release model.

This strategy, employed consistently throughout the GTA franchise, involves a delayed PC launch. This decision, partially attributed to Rockstar's complex history with the modding community, remains unaffected by the current sales figures of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. GTA 6 will not deviate from this pattern.

Projecting a fall 2025 release for GTA 6, PC gamers can anticipate a potential 2026 launch. The game's release is highly anticipated, not only by Take-Two Interactive but by the gaming industry as a whole. The initial teaser trailer shattered several YouTube records, fueling speculation that GTA 6 could surpass the $100 million sales mark, potentially influencing the financial performance of other game developers and studios.
