Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has confirmed that GTA 6's PC release is being delayed on purpose — not because of a Sony exclusivity deal, but to serve console players first. He also confirmed that Sony PlayStation has marketing exclusivity for GTA 6 on PS5, meaning new trailers will appear on PlayStation platforms first.
Part 1
Take-Two's CEO just revealed that the GTA 6 PC release date is intentionally being delayed by Rockstar Games. According to Strauss Zelnick, Grand Theft Auto VI is better served if it's released on consoles such as the PS5 first.
Part 2
When Grand Theft Auto 6 was announced back in 2023, PC was not listed as one of its launch platforms. This shouldn't be too surprising to players, as most Rockstar Games titles always launch on Steam later than consoles. However, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick recently confirmed that GTA 6's delay on PC is actually being done on purpose.
Part 3
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."
