If these leaked GTA Online sales figures are legit, you can see why Rockstar are holding off GTA 6's PC release

Hacker group ShinyHunters leaked data revealing GTA Online makes $9.5 million per week, with PlayStation accounting for $5.5M, Xbox $2.8M, but PC only $264K. Rockstar has refused to announce a GTA 6 PC release date despite Take-Two CEO stating PC ports can account for over 40% of overall sales.

Hacker group ShinyHunters made good on their threat to release data stolen from Rockstar Games by way of a third-party service. While Rockstar called it "a limited amount of non-material company information" and the leak isn't on the same scale as the infamous 2022 GTA 6 footage leak, there are still interesting details in circulation.

According to the leaked files verified by Kotaku, GTA Online made $9,592,109 per week from September 2025 to April 2026. Of this total, $8,245,974 came from console platforms, with PlayStation accounting for the lion's share: PS5 players paid $4,486,346 and PS4 players $973,308. That's around twice the $2,786,320 Rockstar earned from Xbox Series X and Xbox One players. And it's a staggering 34 times more than the $264,273 from PC.

Rockstar tend to be elusive about exact platform sales divisions, but GTA appears plenty popular on PC. GTA V Legacy is 13th on the Steam most played as of writing, and PC is where all the cool mods and role-playing communities live. Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Rockstar's parent company Take-Two Interactive, observed last year that PC ports can account for over 40% of overall sales, adding that "we have seen PC become a much more and more important part of what used to be a console business".

Despite this, Rockstar has refused to date GTA 6 for PC, and the alleged leaked microtransaction numbers make a case for prioritising consoles and especially PlayStation. Rockstar are also in the middle of a legal fight with ousted GTA 6 developers amid allegations of union-busting and misconduct, and recently laid off their head of AI among other staffers.
