GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

I'm confused why Kotaku mentioning next gen in the title when Rockstar only commented on current generation PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Because they're still referring to PS5 and XSX as "next gen", which is ridiculous this far into a generation. I'm glad even their own commenters are calling that out.

The PC version will come out with the PS6/Xbox whatever ports come out. Rockstar has figured out exactly how to milk the most sales out of their games

I'll wait anyway. And I'm most definitly not gonna preorder after the mega fail that was the GTA Trillogy.

I think I got GTA5 for 5 bucks. I think I'll wait for GTA6 for 6 bucks

As someone who games solely on pc nowaday simply because having other things to do, I don't mind waiting even more so the chance I will get it on launch day is null.

Remember fellas vote with your wallet, do not get blinded by hypetrain.

I’m not buying a console for this game. Pc gaming has gotten a lot bigger, I’d be surprised if they skipped it.

Almost every AAA release has pulled the same trick for at least the last 10 years if not longer. Don't announce the PC release until after the console release, that way some people buy the game twice.

Naturally. Rockstar likes to resell their titles no less than Bethesda. They will sell it to you on PS5 and series x/s, then again on PS6 and whatever Xbox will be around. Then probably Nintendo platform, finally PC.

This way they maximize the amount of times some people will buy the same game, each time with minimal quality upgrade.

Same as their previous titles. It's not that they didn't learn. They have the numbers and know very well what they're doing.

This is stupid because they literally developed the damn game on PC. The only reason to do a console priority release is artificial scarcity. They know a certain subset of PC gamers will buy the game twice. Once on console for FOMO. And again on PC for the proper experience.

The continued use of Next Gen for what is definitely the current console generation does make me pretty annoyed

Well, that's shitty. I'll never understand why some of these companies are so dated in their thinking.

They’ve done it with every generation of GTA recently. It will probably not come out at launch, people will buy the console version, and then suddenly it comes out on pc a year later. We’ve seen the tactic before

PC is always current gen. When will they learn?

Honestly I do understand why PC gamers are upset. But this isn’t exactly news. They’ve done this with every PC port. And given the clusterfuck that was GTA IV on PC I’m fine waiting another year for a GOOD PC port.

Again I get it. But I personally bought a Series X when PC gaming was too expensive to get into so I take it that’s who they’re gonna go for as well.

I bet its because console players are far more likely to dump their life savings into Shark Cards 2.0 in massive fits of hysterical FOMO, than PC players are.

Why would you buy GTA 6 after 5 became a live service game? Fuck rockstar.

Cool. Then I'll pirate it at lauch.

Likely? It's almost a certified R* moment to forget about PC for 1-2 years and then release the (better) version there later on.

Hope it will be good, the game will have to last 3 console generations anyway.

Oh no

Anyway

I think the bigger issue is that the franchise is stuck in the USA, at the same locations, in the same gangsta American dream plot. I was hoping by they would branch out as there as so many other interesting places outside of the USA that are car focused that are dying to be explored. When I watched the trailer, I felt like I already played this game.

I don't think anyone with more than 5 braincells thought this was coming out on PS4 and Xbone.

Well, yet another game that doesn’t exist.

Can't wait for an extremely polished game where it's impossible to step one step in the direction you want to go.

Now imagine people wrote an article every time a game came out on PC but not consoles.

Permanently Deleted

Eh they'll make a PC version at some point

Who cares? Rockstar is a joke. Play it years from now, it'll be carried for 10+ years

I know when the PS5/Xbox Series X/S came out they were referred to as "next generation" while the previous consoles were "current generation" when talking about games that were released on both consoles, for example NBA 2K.

I can see why you're confused and I agree that enough time has passed that we can start calling the PS5/ Xbox series X/S current generation.

Yeah if I ever were to play this game, it'd probably be a long time after release and the inevitable slew of bug fixes etc

Mark my words as the real JC Denton, this game will be bad

Honestly, based on current gaming trends, I'm fine either way. Everything is releasing in an almost important state for the first 6 months to a year anyway.

Reasons I never buy any of their games.

• Shitty studio practices
• Ignoring PC the first year

I'm confused why Kotaku mentioning next gen in the title when Rockstar only commented on current generation PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Haven't they been calling these the "next Gen" consoles for awhile? I also don't agree with changing the title to not match the article.

Looks very Florida.

I've never played any of the GTA games I was considering this one but it's not at the top of my list especially now

PC releasing at the same time might just rob consoles of sales they could have. While I don't support what they do, this is what I think the most logical reason

YO-HO, YO-HO

Whatever I still haven't played 5 🤷‍♀️

Here's to hoping this game doesn't make you feel like you're walking drunk. I would have played Grand theft Auto v if the movement didn't feel clunky

It looks pretty mid anyway, unless they announce dedi servers and rp support I really don't care about rockstars played out boomer ass writing

So? Who gives a shit lol

I'm actually ok with this. It will keep online hacker free for at least a year.

Is there PC gamers who don't own consoles??

So? I play on console anyway.

Maybe by skipping PC, the loading will be nice and fast. Actually take advantage of superior console tech.

This was the first entry I was actually excited about!

But Rockstar once again hates PC gamers...

Seriously.. sexy ladies in a modern AAA games.. no "stoic flat chested tomboys"

My jaw dropped when I saw that shit

Yes please. Tired of that woke shit

Too many games exist to be played in one lifetime now, who gives a shit, the series stopped being good after GTA 2 anyway

PC gamers are the biggest Pirates in the game industry and then get mad when studios don't care to release a PC version.
