Take-Two bosses don't care about PS5 and Xbox sales, insisting that GTA 6 will cause “meaningful rise in console sales” in 2025

Big Theft Automatic 6 Launched only on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, especially leaving a platform in Cold: PC.

This is a omission to developer Rockstar's script about previous games, but in 2025, it feels outdated. And, given the increasing importance of PC's success in multi-platform gaming, is GTA 6's speechless missed the opportunity, or even a mistake?

IGN submitted the issue to two bosses, Strauss Zelnick, ahead of the company's recent financial results. final Publish on PC.

Zelnick said of Firaxis' recent launch of Civilization 7: “So the CIV 7 can be used immediately on consoles and PCs and switched immediately. In our lineup, we don't always span all platforms at the same time. From history Watch it above, Rockstar starts with some platforms and then moves from history to other platforms.”

Rockstar fans noted that the studio was reluctant to release other past games with consoles on PCs and its rapport with Modding Community over the years. Still, some people hope that games as big as GTA 6 may be a turning point in studio PC gaming attitudes.

The title of Big Rockstar ultimately tends to use PCs, but PC gamers will have to wait for the problem that will eventually become one of the biggest games of all time. Given the 2025 fall release window for GTA 6, Which two are still rightIt seems that PC players will have to wait until 2026 at the earliest to play the game.

December 2023, former Rockstar developer Trying to explain why the GTA 6 can't use the PC after hitting the PS5 and Xbox Series X and Sand called on PC gamers to provide the studio with “questionable benefits” in its controversial release plan.

But how much is the chance of skipping a PC at the GTA 6 launch? Zelnick told IGN that the multiplier game of IGN's PC version can generate 40% of overall sales, and even more through some games.

The statistics are part of a discussion about the current console generation, and the game has seen sales of the PS5 and Xbox series X and S – both consoles, the GTA 6, will be launched later this year – PLUMMET. Even though Nintendo has a Switch 2 waiting on the wing, neither Sony nor Microsoft announced the next-generation console. How long does the industry need the PlayStation 6 and any Xbox next?

Zelnick noted that even as console sales decline, publishers are waiting for the next move from Sony and Microsoft, even as console sales decline, PC platforms are becoming increasingly important.

“We've seen that PCs have become an increasingly important part of the console business once, and I wouldn't be surprised to see this trend continue,” he said. “Of course, there will be a new game Machinery generation.”

Anyway, according to Zelnick, the release of the GTA 6 is expected to be the largest entertainment launch ever, and will drive console sales as fans jump into the current generation for the first time to play.

“When you have a big champion in the market, we have a lot of people coming and historically it has sold consoles.”

“And I think that's going to happen this year. I don't think the tariffs are going to be our friends, but I think the console sales in Calendar 25 because of the release schedule, not only from us, but from others, are from console sales in Calendar 25 because of the release schedule, not only from us, but from others. There will be meaningful improvement. So, I'm not worried about this (console sales decline). I think the trend you're looking at is the increasing market share reflected in PCs.”

Indeed, many people regard the PlayStation 5 Pro as the “GTA 6 machine” of the future, hoping it will be the best platform for playing games. However, tech experts believe PS5 Pro probably won't run GTA 6 on 4K60.
