GTA VI could launch on PC in early 2026, according to Corsair

If I was selling PC hardware I'd say it's right around the corner too.

Moderated wildly
I feel confident that it will be the shortest Rockstar PC launch we have seen. Probs 6 months after Console.
I could be wrong but I want to be right lol.

If it's coming in early 26, why not just release it day one like other studios manage to do.

the scope of this project though is kinda incomparable to what anyone else is doing. I´d rather get 2 good versions with a delay in between than 2 rushed versions releasing at the same day.

I am fine with that. We see also other studios struggling over and over again with PC optimizations and Rockstar is actually one of the few who can do it pretty good. At least I can remember that I was pretty pleased with the GTA5 pc launch. If they need some focus time for it....go for it.
i was about too say this.

I'm surprised other studios don't do what Rockstar and Playstation do tbh.
Concentrate on console, where a sale is a sale and piracy is almost non-existent.

Maybe it's consoles in October 2025 and PC April 2026.

Because piracy hardly impacts sales

The unfortunate truth.

For big games like GTA it would. But it's a lot less if you put off the PC version.

If it has Denuvo it won't be cracked.
Not a single Denuvo game was cracked in 2024

GTA use to be day one on the PC but after GTA 2 Rockstar was getting exclusive deals with Sony for the GTA titles.

And the Corsair CEO worked in an executive position at Rockstar until recently and knows all about Rockstar's planning.

Because they know many people will double dip.

Honestly don’t care. It’ll come after Rockstar milks the 30fps version. Then they’ll release on PC, followed by a 60fps “next gen” console version to the people that bought the 30fps console version.
Rockstar knows how to play for the double dips.

Ok
What about consoles?

You mean a company that sells PC components is trying to hype the biggest game release ever to that platform? I'm shocked.
The game doesn't even have a release date for consoles... Rockstar will probably be all hand on deck at releasing those versions (that already include a Series S version...probably not an easy feat), making sure everything runs great, release GTA online for these versions, and then think about the PC release, and getting those extra sales from people that will for sure double dip.
They get more money from spacing out these releases than releasing everything day one. Then they will release the PS6 version of it in like 3 or 4 years and get even more sales. That's how it worked so well for them during the PS3/PC/PS4/PS5 eras.

SmokedMeat, how much is Rockstar making off the ‘console to PC’ double dips?

How much did Rockstar profit though from people double dipping from console to PC?

Doesn’t fitgirl repacks get around it? Also these publishers get charged a lot monthly for Denuvo. That alone might be enough reason to put off the pc version.

You need me to figure that out for you?

They want you to double dip. First console and then PC for extra features.

And then a re-release on PS6 for that triple-dip!

You can write everything you want if you just add the word "could".

No.
They are just repacks of scene games that just have basic steam protection.
Sometimes the publisher will remove denuvo from a title after a period of time due to cost, once that happens it will be cracked.

Yuppp!And then a re-release on PS6 for that triple-dip!
And of course a 4th one when it comes to Switch 2 for handheld GTA.

Yea, I wonder what the calculation is exactly. MS didn't bother using denuvo with Avowed I'm assuming since it was cracked. Not exactly a small game. No GTA, but not exactly Digging a Hole.
