Ex-GTA 4 Tech Director Guesses GTA 6 PC Version Won’t Be Out ‘Til 2027; Thinks GTA 6 Will Sell for 10+ Years

It’s safe to say that Grand Theft Auto 6 is one of the most anticipated games in recent years, and with a possible release date set for Fall 2025 (on consoles), almost every gamer is eagerly waiting its launch. While GTA 6 still hasn’t been officially announced for PC, this recent news might lower the excitement for PC players even more.

In a post on X, Obbe Vermeij, a former Rockstar developer and technical director for GTA 4, hinted that GTA 6’s PC version might not be released until 2027. Vermeij further suggested that GTA 6 could sell for “10+ years” and face “no competition to worry about.” He also mentioned that Rockstar won’t release the game until they are “100% happy” with it, adding, “No matter what it said in the trailer.”

This suggests that while the console version might aim for a 2025 release, there could still be delays, as Rockstar has a history of pushing back release dates for their games. Although there’s no official announcement or release date for the PC version, it’s likely that, based on Rockstar’s previous launches, the PC version might come much later, as seen with GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.

It’s worth noting that Vermeij clarified he doesn’t have any insider information or sources on the release date, explaining that his statements were purely speculative.

Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick did tease about the PC version, stating that Rockstar will make “more announcements in due time,” which basically confirms it’s on the way, though we don’t know when.

Vermeij also noted that Rockstar historically doesn’t rush their games. Talking about the delay of GTA 4, he explained that the decision to move the release date was made just four months before the original date. Vermeij admitted, explaining that the PlayStation 3 version and some missions still needed more time.

Moreover, Rockstar’s approach makes sense considering GTA 5’s success. The game has made over $8.6 billion in revenue since its launch and continues to sell millions of copies to this day. With over 200 million units sold, GTA 5 ranks as the second best-selling game of all time, just behind Minecraft.

Ultimately, Rockstar’s focus on perfection and their lack of competition in the gaming industry means the release timeline remains flexible. Even Take-Two’s CEO, Strauss Zelnick, has stated that the game won’t be rushed, as fans expect nothing short of perfection from this next installment.
