Usually Rockstar doesn’t release a pc version along with console releases at launch. Do you expect a PC version at launch or 1 or 2 years later.

 

[lh032]

EPIC exclusive.

 

[amigastar]

No, probably later (i hope it will come to PC at all)

 

[Sanepar]

I hope so

 

[Helghan]

Couple of years later

 

[Bulletbrain]

Considering their business plans seem to rely on stretching a single title as long as possible, I'd put little money on a PC launch version.

 

[Filben]

No, every PC GTA after GTA2 released later than the console version.

100% this.

 

[German Hops]

Absolutely..

 

[Solidsnake_1]

 

[sendit]

Day 1 PC release. If it doesn't, I'll buy someone an Xbox Series S.

 

[SSfox]

Don't care about GTA, call me when Rockstar make a new IP

 

[Gaiff]

Nah.

1. Release it on PS5/SX. GTA 6 is so huge that many PC players will simply bite the bullet and get it for console

2. Wait 12-18 months and release a much enhanced PC version. PC players who got suckered into buying the console version will double-dip for the PC version. You'll even have some console players who also own gaming PCs who will get it for PC.

3. If the consoles get Pro versions, they will release a free upgrade for them, rekindling sales and interest for those who missed out

3. Re-release an improved PC version for the for PS6/New Xbox

 

[GymWolf]

Lol of course not, rockstar knows that people are gonna double dip a year later.

 

[German Hops]

I'll buy someone an Xbox Series S.

Is this supposed to be some form of punishment?

 

[rodrigolfp]

No. Double dippers are very real.

 

[GymWolf]

Day 1 PC release. If it doesn't, I'll buy someone an Xbox Series S.

Why do you hate us so much.

 

[rofif]

of course not.
Rockstar cunts always do the same thing. They release on console, say "no plans for pc version"
and it releases 6-12 months later/

 

[Pakoe]

Nah.

1. Release it on PS5/SX. GTA 6 is so huge that many PC players will simply bite the bullet and get it for console

2. Wait 12-18 months and release a much enhanced PC version. PC players who got suckered into buying the console version will double-dip for the PC version. You'll even have some console players who also own gaming PCs who will get it for PC.

3. Re-release an improved PC version for the for PS6/New Xbox

Probably this.

 

[J3nga]

No, Take-two's greedy nature won't let that happen.

 

[Klik]

Probably 12months after console release

 

[Gamezone]

If it does, it's probably Rockstar Store exclusive for a long time, unless Epic or Valve really pushes trough some kinda deal. But who knows. When GTA 4 and GTA 5 released, we still had to deal with "Is PC gaming dead?" threads daily.

 

[Flabagast]

Nope

 

[SmokedMeat]

Depends. If the second release is the real release like last time, then might as well wait.

 

[sodstall]

Nope, plus they'll lock it down on PC in such a way that prevents mods

 

[Sybrix]

No way.

GTA VI will be the reason i get a PS5.

Then ill get GTA VI on PC a year and a half later when it launches.

GTA V went though PS3/Xbox One, PS4/Xbox One X/ PS5 and PC launches, made Rockstar a lot of money, they will do the same for GTA VI.

 

[nightmare-slain]

Not a snowballs chance in hell.

It'll come out about a year later if we're lucky. GTA V released in September 2013 and PC didn't get a version until April/May 2015 (can't remember exact month).

Don't care about GTA

And you clicked a thread about GTA?

EPIC exclusive.

The way Epic is bleeding money on that store it'll probably be shut down before GTA VI comes out .

 

[spartan30gr]

 

[BennyBlanco]

EPIC exclusive.

They have their own shitty launcher. They’ll probably launch it their then dump it on steam a few months later like they did with RDR2.

 

[NeoGiffer]

 

[ahtlas7]

They bet on the long run so I’m guessing double and triple dip will feed their decision to hold PC back at launch.

 

[Husky]

Day 1 PC release. If it doesn't, I'll buy someone an Xbox Series S.

Dibs

 

[YCoCg]

This is Rockstar Games, of course not, PC will be second or third release, maybe even double exclusive if they do an Epic deal again to have a one to three month exclusive window.

 

[DonJimbo]

No as always

 

[Ivan]

I think it might this time...PC is treated differently nowdays, things could change.

 

[hemo memo]

No. They want people to buy it again on PC.

 

[Danknugz]

it will never happen, but i would love a VR version

 

[Stuart360]

No as i think they do it the way they do to maximize sales through possible double, and triple, dipping.
Release the console version, then 1-2 years later release an upgraded PC version, and hopefully snag some double dippers from gamers that game on both PC and console. Then release a 'next gen' version of the next wave on consoles, and hopefully get a bunch of tripple dippers.

Its a bit cheesy really but gamers will do it.

 

[Gamezone]

No. They want people to buy it again on PC.

I'm sure PC gamers will rush out and buy gaming consoles.

 

[hemo memo]

I'm sure PC gamers will rush out and buy gaming consoles.

Most of them do but they only buy exclusives but just like GTA5 before it, they will buy it on consoles and buy it again when release on PC.

 

[.Pennywise]

>PS5 exclusive

>PS4 port

>Xbox Series port

>PC port (Epic exclusive)

>Steam port

>Game Pass cash grab (couple months)

> PS Plus cash grab (couple months)

>New Switch port

>PS6 upgrade

>Keeps going

 

[The Fartist]

Don't care about GTA, call me when Rockstar make a new IP

 

[poppabk]

This will be the first multiplayer GAAS focused GTA so all bets are off. Milking game sales may not be worth the loss in 6-12 months of microtransactions, battle pass revenue etc.

 

[rodrigolfp]

I'm sure PC gamers will rush out and buy gaming consoles.

Some maybe will. Others will wait to play without the compromisses of console versions.

 

[mortal]

Why even ask when you know that it's extremely unlikely?

T2 / R* have historically capitalized on double dipping. What makes you think they'll just stop for GTA VI? lol

 

[Spyxos]

Never. They want you to get it 2-3 times. They wait 1-2 years and then bring it out on the PC.

 

[Fbh]

On the one hand they've historically waited for the PC release and benefited from double dippers.
On the other hand GTA is now primarily an online GAAS, so maybe they'll benefit more from getting as many people as possible to play and buy microtransactions from day 1.
The question is: are double dippers going to make them more money than X months of microtransactions from PC only players?

My guess would be it will still launch on consoles first but the PC version will come around 6 months later instead of a year and half later like GTAV.

 

[Itchy Tickles]

We never know, but history kinda points 1 way. That being said, and not quite the same, but didn't the trilogy remaster release same day on PC?

Hope it does release day 1 and isn't a mess technically or gameplay / story wise.

 

[lmimmfn]

Of course not, too much $$$ to be made from double dippers

 

[Denton]

Rockstar and Take2 is uniquely cunty when it comes to GTA and RDR on PC, always pretending PC does not exist only to announce it later.

I fully expect them to continue their cunty behaviour because for 20 years, they have been practicing it.
