GTA VI has been internally delayed by Rockstar Games and they’re already decided on the early to mid 2026 release window. PC is planned for around 12 - 18 months after the console launch. (Rumor) (x.com)

Delaying pc release that fucking long. What consoles are they even trying to force people to buy? Consoles have become kind of a niche thing, now everyone has macbooks and pcs. Nvidia graphics cards have replaced the console pyramid scheme. Will Nvidia even allow them to do this? They develop the game on pc for fuck sake.

If I play the game at all I'm pirating it. There is no acceptable reason to release the pc version 18 months after the console version. Are there even going to BE any consoles out in 2026 that can run the game?

That's the beauty of the greedy fucking console developers, they just reduce the quality of any game so it will absolutely work on the Xbox toaster edition. Games could be so much better, not just graphically, but they have to be limited by the weakest console that the companies force the devs to make it available on.
