With the unveiling of the Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 and a comprehensive update to its official website, fans are buzzing about the game's launch platforms and its new release date set for May 26, 2026. At the trailer's conclusion, the release date is prominently displayed alongside the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S logos, reaffirming that these consoles will be the initial platforms for GTA 6. Notably, the trailer was specifically captured on a PS5, emphasizing its focus on this platform over the speculated PS5 Pro.
The absence of any mention of a PC version in the trailer has sparked discussions and speculation. Many fans hoped that the delay to May 2026 might encourage Rockstar and its parent company, Take-Two, to opt for a simultaneous release across all platforms, including PC. However, this omission aligns with Rockstar's traditional strategy for previous game launches, a tactic that some feel is outdated in today's gaming landscape, especially given the growing significance of the PC market for multiplatform games.In an interview with IGN in February, Take-Two's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, hinted at GTA 6's eventual PC release. He referenced the simultaneous launch of Civilization 7 across multiple platforms, but noted that Rockstar typically adopts a staggered release approach. This has led to speculation about when PC gamers might get their hands on GTA 6. Could it be in Fall 2027, early 2027, or perhaps even a year after the console launch in May 2027?
Rockstar's history of delaying PC releases and its complex relationship with the modding community have been points of contention among fans. Despite this, the potential for GTA 6 to be a game-changer in the studio's approach to PC gaming remains a topic of hope and debate.
The question of whether skipping a PC launch for GTA 6 could be a missed opportunity looms large. Zelnick emphasized to IGN that PC versions can account for up to 40% of a game's total sales, and in some cases, even more. He acknowledged the increasing importance of the PC market, suggesting that this trend is likely to continue, even with the advent of new console generations.

As for the Nintendo Switch 2, its absence from the GTA 6 Trailer 2 was anticipated. While the capabilities of the Switch 2 remain under wraps, its potential to run high-profile titles like Cyberpunk 2077 has fueled some optimism that GTA 6 might eventually come to Nintendo's next-gen console, especially since it's slated for the less powerful Xbox Series S.
