  • PC gamers may wait until 2027 for GTA 6, as hinted by a former Rockstar developer, citing possible delays.
  • Rockstar’s focus on flawlessness could push back both PC and console releases, similar to GTA 5’s gradual rollout.

GTA 6: Anticipation and Delay

The gaming world is buzzing with excitement for the “Grand Theft Auto 6” as the expected release year is around the corner. But PC gamers still have to wait until 2027 to get their hands on the next grand chapter of the GTA series.

The frustration and a bit of hope sparked among gamers when the former Rockstar developer- Obbe Vermeij dropped this bombshell news through his X post. He hinted that the PC version could arrive much later than anticipated.

Despite the claim, that he got no insider information and it is just a mere guess, his words still carry weight. The Rockstar fans are not known to delay when it comes to gaming platforms.

GTA 5 gradually made its way to PC in 2015 after its first release in 2013 so it’s understandable that GTA 6 will also take its time.  You may ask, why such a long wait? According to Obbe Vermeij, the Rockstar is highly famous for their perfectionism- the game should be entirely flawless.

This means until they are fully satisfied, the most awaited game won’t make it to the gaming screens. It also hints at the potential delays even for the 2025 console launch.

He also confidently predicted that there will be little to no completion for GTA 6 and will rule over the hearts of fans for decades while keeping its selling demand high in the market.

However, Strauss Zelnick- Take-Two Interactive’s CEO, hinted towards more upcoming news regarding the PC version, assuring gamers that developers are working on it.

Cutting to the short Rockstar is in no rush and looking forward to providing their fans the best. Their perfectionist approach also made GTA 5 a best-selling game with a revenue generation of $8.6 billion.

For now, stay updated and hope that the next game is worth every second.
