Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick was straight to the point in explaining why Grand Theft Auto VI will not be on PC when it launches. Assuming that another delay doesn’t come into play, GTA 6 is expected to launch on November 19, 2026. Now, while there had been hopes it would arrive for PC and consoles, […]

And this usual attitude of treating PC gamers as 2nd-class citizens is why most people I know do NOT pay for GTA games on PC. They grab community demos. Besides, when it does eventually show up on PC, they're gonna charge way too much money for it anyways (given its age by then). And who knows what state it'll be in. Some of us remember how GTA 4 turned out at launch... GTA 5 fared better, but that's cuz they already made x86-64/AMD64 remasters for the 8th-gen consoles, and used that as a base for the PC version. I didn't play RDR2 at launch but I seem to recall the PC version was kind of a mess at launch too. Just saying, no one should be running to preorder the PC version when available. Definitely wait and see with that shiznit.

Maybe one day GTA 6 will be offered for free on EGS like 5 was. Whether or not you bother with EGS is up to you. I still grab the free games, and GTA 5 was one of them. Already had played it twice before that though. Borrowed X360 version when my friend was done with his copy and went through that, and then I played most of the way through the PC version. My X360 never ran so hot as it did when I ranthat game. The power brick was also giving off mad heat. The game hard-locked my system a few times, and I had to shut it down. Fun times. Only a few console games ever crashed my system, on X360 and PS3. But I've seen from videos that 8th-gen and 9th-gen consoles have had hardlocks and crashes "to desktop" too.

No, thanks I've tried playing GTA5 on PS3, it was an abysmal experience, and abandoned the game one or two hours in and sold my copy.
