on a serious note, it's smart from a business standpoint too. Who legit wants to wait until 2027 to play it when they can play it on ps5 in 2025??? Result? Double dip haha

Definitely, i also noticed PC ports of Rockstar games usually genuinely do push graphics forward compared to their console counterparts, especially RDR2 which frankly looks insane on PC

Plus Rockstar hates the PC online community lol with all the hacking

Rockstar does this because they know they can get people to double dip. It has nothing to do with "prioritizing what sells". They're an absolutely massive company. They can afford to develop a PC port if they can afford to develop multiple console ports. This is on-purpose.

I mean hasn't the gaming community changed since covid? more people with computers, more people with consoles as well but I think it would be better if we consider PC players on the same level as Console nowadays

GTA 6 is delaying PC, because... Look at the GTA Online revenues below. The gap between console and PC earnings is INSANE. PC players can easily bypass the Shark Card economy. They can use mods or play in unofficial roleplay servers like FiveM. But on Playstation and Xbox, you're locked into official servers where the only way up is to grind or pay. Rockstar is delaying the PC release to protect the launch economy of GTA Online 2.0 They're forcing the entire player base onto consoles for the first 12-18 months, and trapping their biggest whales in a closed ecosystem where microtransactions can't be bypassed. It guarantees them the maximum bag during the peak hype window. Plus, Rockstar acquired FiveM team back in 2023. The delay buys them time to figure out how to officially monetize the PC modding scene before they open the floodgates. What percentage of PC gamers do you think will get a console just to play GTA 6 at launch?

Crossplay on GTA Online between PS4 and PC has officially been achieved, thanks to LosSantosOnline. Using a custom LSO private server on a jailbroken PS4 anda dev copy of GTA 5, they found a loophole that allowed them to join the same lobby as PC players. This proves Rockstar can implement crossplay but has chosen not to.

The reason why Rockstar games are so good is because Rockstar iterates over and over with no end in sight. The downside of this is that devs end up working late for what feels like forever because there is no cut off point. I am guessing everybody working on GTA 6 will be iterating on the game right up until the day it drops.

The main reason why Rockstar doesn't release their games Day 1 on PC is due to lack of resources. As John Ricchio, GTA 5's producer puts it "if you are working on that that means you aren't working on something else." During the development of RDR1 they actually had a PC build running early on.

You can't compare Cyberpunk 2077 launch to GTA 6 and here's exactly why Cyberpunk 2077 was the CDPR's first installment to feature a futuristic city with tons of NPCs and fast moving cars, something which was never done before on Witcher games. The gameplay video from Cyberpunk 2077 shown off in 2019 had a clear text showing "work in progress - does not represent the final look of the game" After the launch disaster of Cyberpunk 2077, Marcin Iwiński also explained that the reason the game had so many bugs is that the game was designed for PC first in mind, then scaled down to consoles that still had a hard drive (PS4 and Xbox One) an extremely difficult task on its own, combined with the fact that the game development progress took a major hit during the pandemic. Rockstar Games on the other hand has a much different engine and experience working on large scale open world game filled with tons of NPCs and fast moving cars, including the fact that they're developing this game for current gen consoles first, then scaling it up for a PC release not vice versa. Are we guys suddenly forgetting the fact that Rockstar Games managed to get GTA V running on a PS3 console which had 256mb of VRAM and 256mb of RAM at that time? The reason Rockstar Games has shown zero gameplay of GTA 6 is because historically they save the gameplay showcase before the game launches, GTA 6 Trailer 2 came out in 2025 and all footage for that Trailer was captured on a base PS5 with a mix of gameplay and cutscenes. They'll obviously show off more gameplay on August 27th, but comparing Cyberpunk 2077 to GTA 6 isn't exactly fair for both companies. On one hand, it was CDPR's first time making that kind of genre of a game and on the other hand, it isn't Rockstar Games first time making a Grand Theft Auto game.

Dan & Sam Houser are/were simultaneously the reason why working at Rockstar can be very hard but also why all their games are very good. They care on a level, most leaders do not. Sam Houser in particular will sit and play the games over and over and has thrown the controller on occasions where a Rockstar game isn't up to the Rockstar standard.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 GTA 5 producer John Ricchio has said GTA 6 will skip PC at launch due to 'development priorities.' "PC release is not a switch that you just flip, it requires separate development, testing and optimization entirely." "You can't work on something else while working on that, hence consoles are prioritized."

Don’t wanna sound like a dickrider but I genuinely hope rockstar humbles people again (and make me excited again) on the 27th with the GTA 6 gameplay just like they did with RDR2 in 2018 You cannot deny how insane this is to achieve on 2013 hardware
