GTA 6 is the most hyped game of all time and I know you don't need me to tell you that Rockstar
has an absolute Blockbuster on their hands even if it ends up being super disappointing or even
completely trash it doesn't matter the game is going to sell tens of millions of copies right
out of the gate we all know that that being said there's been a lot of discussion over
the platforms of the game and what it's going to launch on because it could have a pretty
huge impact on how many copies the game sells during its launch window some have suggested
that either Sony or Microsoft are going to cut a deal for timed exclusivity of GTA 6 which I
think is complete nonsense and stupid there's no way take two and Rockstar there's no way they go
for that bait but there's a third version of the game that has been getting a lot of attention on
social media thanks to leaks that recently came out in its release date so if you're a PC player
who is interested in Grand Theft Auto 6 you need to watch this video all the way through because
we have a lot to go over and it might just be the news that you were waiting for so you let me know
in the comments are you ready for the game when do you think the game is coming out and let's go
as you probably know Rockstar has a very weird relationship with the PC Community despite the
PC versions of games like GTA 5 and Red Dead 2 selling millions of copies and being massive
modding communities Rockstar and take two are always kind of hesitant to release the games on
the platform GTA 5 initially dropped on September of 2013 but the PC version didn't come until April
of 2015. Red Dead 2 dropped in October of 2018 but no PC version until November of the following year
then there's other Rockstar Games that never got an official PC release I mean the first Red Dead
Redemption in fact the PC Community has been pretty upset at Rockstar and take two recently
because it was announced that the 50 re-release of Red Dead one is not coming to PC despite there
being millions of people who would buy it and play it and if they were able to mod it I mean it would
be crazy even if you're not a PC player you have to realize just how much money Rockstar is missing
out by not releasing games on the PC right away I mean I guess you could say they're trying to dub
will dip between the console and the PC markets but I mean as those two audiences get further and
further apart from each other as time goes on I don't think that's a winning strategy if you're
a PC player who's annoyed at how long wrong star takes to Port their games to your platform some
recent leaks may be right up your alley so these leaks came out very recently and they're obviously
not confirmed so take them with that grain of salt but according to GTA 6 countdown on
Twitter who has been compiling a lot of leaks and rumors throughout the months GTA 6's PC version
is actually going to launch alongside the Xbox and the PS5 version which that would be the first time
since GTA 2 that a new Grand Theft Auto game came out on PC the same day as its console counterpart
now according to the leaks this information comes from League gameplay footage and the game code
within it suggesting that a PC version is already in development thanks to things like various
references to Nvidia graphics cards Windows 10 as well as certain debug menus and a warning pop-up
that appeared at one point telling the user to close other apps in order to improve performance
that's convincing I mean as if the game was only in development for the PS5 and the Xbox it would
be safe to assume that the in-development footage would be tested on those consoles as opposed to
obviously being played on a PC now granted it's possible Rockstar is just doing the bulk of the
work on PCS obviously before making the final version of console exclusive but the fact that
there's so many references to PC specific things in that leak footage we got that suggests a PC
version is in development as we speak which would imply that the PC version is going to
launch alongside the Xbox and Playstation versions if not very soon after now in the past Rockstar
has said they want to finish the console versions of their game before they put a lot of work into
the PC Port which is why they usually lag behind a year or two at the most but if the team is already
working on a PC version and remember the console version is still quite some time away from release
it kind of makes it more believable the Rockstar intake 2 may be changing strategies this time
around so with how many copies rdr2 and GTA 5 sold on PC I just find it hard to believe that Rockstar
doesn't want to get the PC version of GTA 6 out on launch day in case you weren't aware both rdr2 and
GTA 5 sold an absolutely stupid amount of copies on PC and according to steam charts GTA 5 is still
the sixth most played game on the entire platform the modding Community absolutely loves these games
and then on top of all that the people who just want to play the game vanilla it was also recently
announced that rockstars partner with some popular GTA online role-playing host and GTA role playing
has a massive presence on the PC so even the the Red Dead re-release is not coming to PC there's
plenty of evidence to suggest that Rockstar and take two are taking the platform seriously which
would again back up the theory that GTA 6 is going to launch on launch day right next to
the consoles and be something that everybody would just be happy with now these leaks shouldn't get
you overly excited one way or the other because they seem to be a complete contradiction of some
PC version leaks that came out earlier this year in March of 2023 leaks floated around that GTA
6 was going to launch in the fall of 2024 on the PlayStation and the Xbox before coming to the PC
in 2025. now these leaks have since been possibly debunked thanks to take two interactive more or
less confirming the game isn't going to launch until October of 2024 at the absolute earliest yes
October is technically still the fall but with GTA 6 dropping in fiscal year 2025 according to take 2
themselves I think we should be looking later into that time period personally I'm of the opinion
that GTA 6 is going to launch in either late November or early December of 2024 and that's the
absolute earliest or it will be coming somewhere between February and April of 2025. October seems
just a tad early to me but that doesn't mean the PC version is going to come in that month as well
now there's a lot of moving Parts here I'm just not entirely convinced that October as a release
window is accurate so what am I convinced of what do I think well I'm in the middle I think
it's undeniable that a pretty massive portion of the GTA Community would want the next game to come
out on PC on day one Rockstar knows that the PS5 and the Xbox series consoles haven't done a great
job at converting PC Gamers away from their favorite platform and that's actually a pretty
decent amount of evidence suggesting that a lot of PS4 and Xbox One owners actually built gaming
PCs instead of upgrading to the new versions of their console so while Rockstar may have gotten
away with double dipping in the seventh and the eighth console Generations times have changed
I don't think that's gonna work this time at least not as well as they're hoping a lot of PC players
just aren't going to go out and buy a PS5 or an Xbox instead of just waiting for the PC version
Rockstar would generate a ton of additional hype for launch if they said all three versions on the
same day so that being said they do have a history of doing the console first and then fine-tuning
the PC version for another year or two and that's part of the reason why their PC ports are good so
even if you're a console player there's no deny the PC versions are they're good they are I mean
the versions of GTA 5 and Red Dead 2 are leagues better than the console version if Rockstar
wants extra time to make that happen well they're Rockstar they're gonna take all the time they want
so ultimately I think Rockstar should do whatever gets the best product out to the consumer you and
me even if it means holding on to the PC version for a little extra time but I think the amount of
additional Revenue they would be missing out on by not releasing the game on PC on day one it's
a lot we know for a fact the game is being built on the PC obviously and we know that the league
gameplay footage was from a PC built so whether or not that PC build ends up finishing development
at the same time is the console versions is something we have to remain to be seen but for
the sake of all the PC Gamers out there I see you I'm hoping that these new leaks are true and you
guys get to play GTA 6 at the same time as Xbox and Playstation players let me know what you guys
think in the comments I'll keep you covered if anything new breaks and I'll see you soon
