‘The PC platform is becoming more and more important,’ Take-Two chief says, as we continue to wonder when we’re going to get GTA 6
Grand Theft Auto 6 remains a PlayStation 5 exclusive for now, with a PC release planned for the future but no timeline provided. During Take-Two Interactive’s recent annual shareholders meeting, CEO and chairman Strauss Zelnick reaffirmed the publisher’s commitment to the PC platform, describing it as becoming “more and more important.” However, this reassurance comes with an ironic caveat: despite these statements, the company continues to withhold its most anticipated title from PC gamers at launch, leaving players on that platform waiting for an eventual, unscheduled release.
The topic emerged during a shareholder discussion that also touched on PlayStation 5 Pro supply constraints, which may be partially driven by demand from GTA 6 players. Zelnick’s comments suggest Take-Two recognizes PC’s growing significance in the gaming industry, yet the exclusivity arrangement—whether driven by financial arrangements with Sony, technical considerations, or other strategic factors—continues to delay PC players’ access to the franchise’s latest installment.
This situation highlights the tension between major publishers’ public messaging about platform importance and their commercial decisions. PC gaming has grown substantially in recent years, with a large and dedicated user base, yet major AAA releases still frequently debut as console exclusives before coming to the platform. Take-Two’s repeated reassurances to PC gamers aim to maintain goodwill, but the ongoing wait for GTA 6 illustrates the gap between words and action when it comes to platform prioritization.
