“Grand Theft Auto VI (Grand Theft Auto VI)” is confirmed to be released only on PS5 and Xbox Series However, former Rockstar producer Obbe Vermeij, who participated in the development of “Grand Theft Auto V”, recently softened his cheek for his old club and frankly said that things are not as simple as everyone thinks.
Resources can only be put aside first
Obbe Vermeij said that game development is inherently a matter of resource allocation. If the team invests a lot of manpower in making the PC version from the beginning, it means that these people cannot invest in the development of the console version. He said bluntly: “If you are doing that thing, you can’t do another thing.” Therefore, Rockstar chose to focus on completing the console version first, and then deal with the PC version. In fact, this has always been the studio’s development strategy.
He also believes that this does not mean that Rockstar does not care about PC players. After all, both “Grand Theft Auto V” and “Red Dead Redemption 2” finally launched PC versions, but Rockstar has always been accustomed to waiting for the console version to be stable before turning resources to PC porting.
PC players have to wait, Rockstar mode will not change in the short term
So far, Rockstar has not announced the release date of the PC version of “Grand Theft Auto VI”. The official only confirmed that the game will be launched on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026.
For PC players, this explanation may be understandable, but it may be difficult to accept. After all, almost every generation of Rockstar’s masterpieces adopts the “console first, PC later” model. Everyone complains, but in the end they can only continue to wait. After all, in front of GTA, what Rockstar lacks most is probably the patience of players.
