Take‑Two Signals Growing PC Focus but Keeps GTA 6 Console‑First

The CEO said a stronger PC strategy is possible if console economics weaken, a shift that would reshape where major games launch.

Overview

  • Take‑Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told investors on Thursday that the company aims to launch games on any platform with a meaningful audience and that PC is becoming more important to the publisher.
  • Zelnick added that if console platforms became commercially unviable due to factors like rising prices or supply issues, Take‑Two could adopt a more PC‑focused strategy.
  • Rockstar has confirmed Grand Theft Auto VI will release first on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S and will not ship on PC at launch on November 19, 2026.
  • Analysts point to GTA 5’s large PC sales—SteamDB estimates tens of millions of PC copies—as the commercial reason Take‑Two would likely follow with a PC port after the console window.
  • Industry commentators have speculated a faster PC window, but company remarks stopped short of a firm PC release date and kept the current console‑first plan intact.
