New information about the game surfaced on the GTA6 network from Rockstar Games, who disclosed the release date and sparked strong reactions among fans.
With no official confirmation about Grand Theft Auto 6, fans speculated about a simultaneous launch on consoles and PC. Historically, Rockstar titles like GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 arrived on PC after a significant delay. A user poll among the online community asked what people think about GTA 6 debuting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X, and PC at once. The consensus leaned toward a console-first release, followed by a PC version after some months. The rationale shared by many is that Rockstar could aim for high first‑week sales on consoles, then extend revenue with a PC edition a year or more later.
Besides the timing, enthusiasts debated why the game has been delayed so long. Some speculate the title will target the current generation of consoles, PS5 and Xbox Series S|X, a move meant to maximize early adoption before the wider install base arrives. Others argue Rockstar might be chasing new sales records by drawing as many players as possible to purchase a console copy. There is also speculation that the release window could be pushed back to late 2024, according to some insiders, though these claims remain unconfirmed.
GTA 6 was announced earlier this year, but since the reveal, information from the developers has been sparse, and the project has seen little public discussion or visible previews.
