NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 4, 2023-- Rockstar Games®, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), is proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to PlayStation® 5 computer entertainment systems and Xbox Series X|S games and entertainment systems in 2025.

"Grand Theft Auto VI continues our efforts to push the limits of what's possible in highly immersive, story-driven open-world experiences," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "We're thrilled to be able to share this new vision with players everywhere."

Grand Theft Auto VI heads to the state of Leonida, home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet.

 
No PC on launch yet again :(

Though if RDR2 is any indication, we'll be getting it in a year. They should take their time with it anyways, we've got too many bad PC ports these days.

Of course, the timing almost lines up perfectly with the next-gen consoles.

2025: Current-gen consoles
2026/2027: Enhanced PC version
2027/2028: Next-gen port based on PC version

You damn well know most won't resist and wait 1-2 years to play it on PC. They'll buy it when an enhanced version with path tracing and new graphics comes out, they'll buy it again. Then perhaps a third time for their PS6.

PS5 Pro is coming in 2024
 
Still good PC gamers?

Don't worry, will get the same time to release as GTAV came to PC. How many years GTAV to get on PC?

Guess I'll be waiting for PC since that's what this trailer was obviously running on. Crowd density and other CPU driven physics features are going to strangle these consoles. Rockstar won't get any more out of these consoles than CD Projekt Red, Insomniac, or Guerilla got with their open world games. Until I see non trailer gameplay I won't believe otherwise.
 
Fuck…Console versions are the worst

Shit frame rate and downgraded graphics…I saw it coming but it still sucks. I guess I'll have to decide what console to pick it up on until the good version releases a year later.
 
The only game I'll buy a PS5 for.

And then the upgraded version of GTAVI the following year.

I wouldn't bet on that. Rockstar got some pretty awesome mileage out of the PS360 with GTA V and the PS4/X1 with RDR2.
 
The 2025 date may be adding Go Go Gadget legs to the length of current gen's cycle. I'm all for that if PS5 pro is coming.
 
PCMR's stubborn loyalty will be tested. The majority of them will fail and purchase a PS5 Pro.

With the exception of Alex Battaglia.

On what planet would a devout PC player be tempted? Can this PS5 Pro play the Steam library they have likely built up? How well does it do with PC exclusives? Why get a PS5 Pro and not just spend that (likely) $599 on a 5070 GPU upgrade?

Take Two knows a bunch of folks won't wait for the PC release and will reluctantly buy the console release so they don't miss out. Then those folks will buy it again for PC when it ships a year later so they can run it at 60+ FPS with everything maxed on their 5090s.
