GTA 6 Trailer 2 and Website Still Lists Release Date for PS5 and Xbox Series X and S, With No Mention of PC

With the merchandise of Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 and a important update to its authoritative website, each eyes were connected the motorboat platforms accompanying the caller merchandise day of May 26, 2026.

At the extremity of the trailer, we spot the merchandise day alongside the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, confirming the consoles stay portion of GTA 6’s release. Indeed, Trailer 2 was captured connected a PS5 (the trailer specifically mentions PS5, arsenic opposed to PS5 Pro).

So, what does this mean for the inevitable PC launch, oregon possibly adjacent a merchandise connected the Nintendo Switch 2? Some had wondered, possibly adjacent hoped, that GTA 6’s propulsion to May 2026 would origin a rethink astatine Rockstar and genitor institution Take-Two and spark a simultaneous merchandise connected PC. The deficiency of notation of PC present possibly suggests otherwise.

It’s an omission successful keeping with developer Rockstar’s playbook for its erstwhile games, but successful 2025 and surely successful 2026 it feels outdated. And, fixed the expanding value of the PC for a multiplatform game’s success, is GTA 6’s no-show connected PC a missed accidental oregon adjacent a mistake?

IGN enactment that question to Take-Two brag Strauss Zelnick successful an interrogation successful February, and successful his effect helium teased GTA 6’s eventual merchandise connected PC.

“So with Civ 7 it's disposable connected console and PC and Switch close away,” Zelnick said of Firaxis' precocious launched Civilization 7. “With respect to others successful our lineup, we don't ever spell crossed each platforms simultaneously. Historically, Rockstar has started with immoderate platforms and past historically moved to different platforms.”

GTA 6 is inactive acceptable to motorboat connected console only.

Rockstar fans person noted the studio's humanities reluctance to merchandise different past games connected PC day-and-date with console, arsenic good arsenic its fraught narration with the modding assemblage implicit the years. Still, immoderate had hoped that a crippled arsenic large arsenic GTA 6 could beryllium a turning constituent for the studio's PC gaming attitude.

Big Rockstar titles thin to get to PC eventually, but the question of however agelong PC gamers volition person to hold for what could extremity up being 1 of the biggest games ever remains. If not May 2026, past when? Fall 2027? Early 2027? A twelvemonth later, successful May 2027?

In December 2023, a erstwhile developer astatine Rockstar attempted to explicate wherefore GTA 6 is coming to PC aft it hits PS5 and Xbox Series X and S, and called connected PC gamers to springiness the workplace the “benefit of the doubt” implicit its arguable motorboat plans.

But however large of a missed accidental could skipping PC for GTA 6’s motorboat be? Zelnick told IGN that the PC mentation of a multiplatform crippled tin make 40% of wide sales, oregon adjacent much with definite games.

“We person seen PC go a overmuch much and much important portion of what utilized to beryllium a console business, and I wouldn't beryllium amazed to spot that inclination continue,” helium said. “Of course, determination volition beryllium a caller console generation.”

Meanwhile, there’s nary Nintendo Switch 2 logo connected GTA 6 Trailer 2, which is possibly expected. While we inactive don’t cognize precisely what the Switch 2 is susceptible of, it is acceptable to get CD Projekt’s Cyberpunk 2077, truthful determination was immoderate anticipation that GTA 6, which, let’s remember, is inactive down arsenic coming to the little almighty Xbox Series S, could marque its mode to Nintendo’s next-gen console.
