Rockstar has always prioritized console releases over PC, as seen with GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption. However, GTA 6 will be different, according to The Philox, which reported that a Rockstar employee confirmed a simultaneous console and PC launch. This contradicts previous reports suggesting a delayed PC release.

While Rockstar has traditionally released its games on consoles first, followed by PC, as exemplified by GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption, GTA 6 is set to buck this trend. The Philox has reported that a Rockstar insider confirmed a simultaneous release for both console and PC versions, contrary to earlier speculations of a delayed PC launch

Some people suggest that the reason for this decision might be that the game has been delayed until 2026, so the company decided not to make PC owners wait any longer.
