Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick confirmed in a Bloomberg interview that GTA 6's PC release is being intentionally delayed — not due to Sony's marketing deal, but to 'serve the core consumer' on consoles first. Zelnick also reiterated that PlayStation has marketing exclusivity for the game on PS5.

Part 2
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI's delay on PC is actually being done on purpose. In a recent interview with Bloomberg, the outlet pressed Zelnick on why GTA 6 wasn't releasing on PC at launch if the company no longer does platform exclusivity deals. In response, the Take-Two CEO said: "Rockstar always starts on console because I think, with regard to a release like that, you're judged by serving the core."

Zelnick then clarified and said that Rockstar Games wants to serve their main customer base first. "Like really serving the core consumer. If your core consumer isn't there, if they're not served first and best. You kind of don't hit your other consumers." So essentially, Take-Two sees GTA 6's core customer base as console players such as PS5 and Xbox Series X.
