GTA VI has been internally delayed by Rockstar Games and they’re already decided on the early to mid 2026 release window. PC is planned for around 12 - 18 months after the console launch. (Rumor)
Probably Microsuck or Sony. They lovvvvvveeeee this shit. What better way to sell garbage consoles no one wants than to force people to buy it or wait another year/year and a half for a game they waited like a decade for...
Delaying pc release that fucking long. What consoles are they even trying to force people to buy? Consoles have become kind of a niche thing, now everyone has macbooks and pcs. Nvidia graphics cards have replaced the console pyramid scheme. Will Nvidia even allow them to do this? They develop the game on pc for fuck sake.
If I play the game at all I'm pirating it. There is no acceptable reason to release the pc version 18 months after the console version. Are there even going to BE any consoles out in 2026 that can run the game?

That's the beauty of the greedy fucking console developers, they just reduce the quality of any game so it will absolutely work on the Xbox toaster edition. Games could be so much better, not just graphically, but they have to be limited by the weakest console that the companies force the devs to make it available on.
Wouldn't surprise me if they pulled the same exact shit with the PC release. It'll probably be full price as well, despite being over a year old when it releases on there. It's not like I was planning on buying it anyway, certainly not outside of the grey market for 90% off.
They're just trying to do the double dipping strategy that worked so well for them for GTA V, and possibly RDR2. The big thing that's changed even since RDR2 came out though is that PC is now the largest platform for this type of game. Some percentage of people will go buy a PS5 to play this game as soon as possible, but I'll bet more people will be patient for a PC version this time around. Of course, with a 2026 release date, the next Xbox might be launched or imminent by the time the console version comes out, and that next Xbox might basically just be a dressed up PC.
