Take-Two has delayed the console release of GTA 6 from May to November 2026, with uncertain PC release timing. The announcement came during the company's earnings call, leading to speculations about further delays.
Potential PC Release Impact
While the GTA Online community remains strong on platforms like Steam, Take-Two has yet to confirm when or if GTA 6 will arrive on PC. Rockstar Games' previous titles suggest a potential PC launch in 2028, considering Red Dead Redemption 2's timeline and the longer 19-month gap for GTA V's PC debut.
Development cycles have expanded, and a staggered release could bolster console sales while addressing potential online game security issues. Still, a more synchronized launch remains possible.
Internal Challenges at Rockstar
The delay coincides with issues facing Rockstar, including the dismissal of over 30 developers amid allegations of union-busting. The company's ability to manage these challenges may affect GTA 6's development and release schedule.
This delay, coupled with Rockstar's internal pressures, suggests a complex timeframe ahead for the highly anticipated title.
