The release of the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI has stirred excitement and speculation across the gaming community, especially with the confirmed release date of May 26, 2026. At the trailer's conclusion, the spotlight was firmly on the launch platforms: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, indicating these consoles will be the initial homes for GTA 6. Notably, the trailer was captured on a PS5, emphasizing the console's role in the game's launch.
This focus on consoles raises questions about the release strategy for other platforms, particularly PC and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Despite hopes that the delay to May 2026 might encourage a simultaneous PC launch, the absence of any mention of PC in the trailer suggests Rockstar may stick to their traditional staggered release approach. This omission aligns with Rockstar's past practices, though it may seem out of step with current industry trends where PC releases are increasingly vital to a game's overall success.
In an interview with IGN, Take-Two's CEO Strauss Zelnick hinted at an eventual PC release for GTA 6. He highlighted the growing importance of PC platforms in the gaming industry, stating, "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." This acknowledgment raises the question of whether delaying the PC version could be a missed opportunity, especially given that PC versions can account for up to 40% of a game's sales.
Rockstar's historical approach to PC releases, coupled with their complicated relationship with the modding community, has left fans wondering when GTA 6 will make its way to PC. Speculations range from a potential release in late 2026 to early or even mid-2027. A former Rockstar developer in December 2023 urged PC gamers to give the studio the benefit of the doubt regarding the launch plans.
Meanwhile, the absence of a Nintendo Switch 2 logo in the trailer suggests that GTA 6 may not be coming to Nintendo's next-gen console at launch. Although the Switch 2 is set to run demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077, and GTA 6 is planned for the less powerful Xbox Series S, the lack of confirmation keeps the door open for future possibilities.
