Rockstar Games has finally announced the launch details and platforms for their highly anticipated game, Grand Theft Auto 6. Unfortunately, PC gamers will be disappointed to learn that the game will not be launching on their platform.
The decision to exclude PC gamers has been met with a lot of criticism, but Rockstar Games has cited several reasons for their decision. Firstly, the company wants to focus on delivering the best possible experience for console gamers and does not want to split their resources between multiple platforms.
Secondly, Rockstar Games is concerned about piracy and believes that releasing the game on PC will increase the likelihood of the game being pirated. This is a common concern among game developers, as PC games are notoriously easy to pirate.
Thirdly, Rockstar Games has indicated that developing the game for PC would require a significant amount of additional time and resources. The studio is already stretched thin with the development of the game for consoles, and adding a PC version would delay the release of the game even further.
Finally, Rockstar Games has stated that they want to ensure that the game is optimized for the platforms that it will be launching on. The company believes that releasing the game on PC would require additional optimization work, which would again delay the release of the game.
The decision to exclude PC gamers has been met with a lot of disappointment, but Rockstar Games has assured fans that the game will be worth the wait. Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in November 2024.
Rockstar Games has promised that the game will take full advantage of the new hardware and will deliver an experience that is truly next-gen. The game will feature a brand new story, a massive open-world, and an array of new vehicles and weapons.
