Take-Two's CEO has again spoken about GTA 6, and has hinted that a PC version of the upcoming title could be on the agenda once it hits consoles later this yearTech17:38, 10 Feb 2025Rockstar could headline one of the best years in gaming(Image: Rockstar)Take-Two Interactive held its first earnings call of 2025 last week, and we now know that the publisher intends to release Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 6 in 'Fall 2025' leaving other publishers worried.In the days since, we've been picking apart what we didn't learn, as well as the company's thoughts on Switch 2, and even console sales numbers,Now, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has spoken to IGN, and has hinted that a PC port of GTA 6 is perhaps more likely than ever, arguably teasing that it's a case of "when", not "if".One dev thinks GTA 6 is likely finished(Image: Rockstar)So with Civ 7 it's available on console and PC and Switch right away, Zelnick told IGN, referring to this month's Civilization 7 launch.With regard to others in our lineup, we don't always go across all platforms simultaneously. Historically, Rockstar has started with some platforms and then historically moved to other platforms.We have seen PC become a much more and more important part of what used to be a console business, and I wouldn't be surprised to see that trend continue, he added. Of course, there will be a new console generation.It caught some by surprise when PS5 and Xbox were the only platforms listed for GTA 6 when it was revealed in December 2023, but for anyone following Rockstar's spotty history with PC ports it wasn't too surprising at all.While GTA 4, GTA 5, and both Red Dead Redemption titles did get PC ports, there was a sizeable gap between them and the console launches. It's an interesting choice to compare it to Civilization, too, a series which has always been very PC-centric.Last month, a former Rockstar developer said "They're [Rockstar] gonna try to optimize as much as they can to where it never goes below 30 [frames per second].""But it can be bumped up to 40, 41, 52, whatever, and I bet you, like, later, once it's on PC, it'll probably get super optimized and changed and new graphics cards that come out and you'll be able to run it at 60fps probably at that time."Article continues belowWhether it comes to PC or not, GTA 6 is likely to pull in billions of dollars in preorders alone, despite Take-Two not revealing the game's price point just yet.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.
