GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles
Rockstar's highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto sequel set in Vice City will be out in 2025
I'm confused why Kotaku mentioning next gen in the title when Rockstar only commented on current generation PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
You're viewing a single thread.
Now imagine people wrote an article every time a game came out on PC but not consoles.
some game matters more than others
Only in personal opinions. Some people only play EVE or flight simulator
PC is typically easier to develop for because of the lack of strict (and frequently silly) platform requirements. Which typically makes game development more expensive and slow than it needs to be when just targeting PC. If that barrier to entry was reduced to that of PC, you'd see a lot more games on there from smaller developers.
With current gen consoles, pretty much every game starts as a PC game already, because thats where the development and testing happens.
Rockstar here is the exception in that they are intentionally skipping PC - something that should be well within reach of a company their size while clearly being capable of doing so.
If another AAA game comes out with only PC support I'll be right there with you - but most game developers with the capability release for all major platforms now. But not the small console indie studio called Rockstar Games it seems.
