The release of GTA 6 will take place in end of 2025. This date was confirmed by the CEO of Take-Two Strauss Zelnick, which is the publisher of the well-known Rockstar franchise. The executive said this during his company’s latest quarterly event, which means the said game will hit the market between the months of September, October and November 2025.

This is good news, as some rumors said that the launch of GTA 6 could be delayed to 2026. These rumors are not true, although it should be remembered that always there is a possibility of complications at the last minute. If this happens, we may experience more or less significant delays depending on the severity of the complications mentioned.

Strauss Zelnick emphasized that GTA 6 will offer an “unprecedented” experience, but did not provide further details. We also do not yet have information about a possible version of the mentioned game for PC, so its launch remains limited to the current generation consoles, Xbox Series X-Series S and PS5.

The release of GTA 6 for PC could happen in 2026

Although it is not yet confirmed, we can assume that GTA 6 will have a PC version, albeit this one will arrive later. It’s a common practice on the part of Rockstar, who already did the same with GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2, two games that were first released on consoles and later on PC.

It’s unclear when this version might arrive, but we have the precedents of GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 to use as a guess. My prediction is that GTA 6 It will arrive on PC between six months and a year launch the console version. This time should give Rockstar plenty of room to introduce exclusive improvements, optimize and make good use of the latest technologies available.

I doubt Rockstar will be able to apply ray tracing to a game of this type, especially because of the leap it will make in terms of graphics and the level of demand it will have. It may end up being implemented in a limited way, but this cannot be ensured at this time.

What Rockstar should implement is technology NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR and Intel XeSS, both in the scaling version and the image generation version, as they will help to significantly improve the game performance.
