Its doesn't matter which year we are, technology evolves, some things change but some things remains the same.

The PC version of GTA 4 came out 8 months later and had zero optimization in which the highest end PC of 2008 struggle to run it.

Its more easier to develop games for consoles than PCs, because consoles are just one set of hardware/driver

Still runs much better than on PS360. So...

 

[charles8771]

What is it with Rockstar and pc ports?

Is it simply a culture where they see themselves primarily as console developers and pc is just an afterthought?

Seems very strange, especially in 2023...well, 2025 at release.

The PC ports of GTA 4, San Andreas were trainwreck.

Its better to wait 1 or 2 years rather than having a crappy PC port at day one.
Well even thought GTA 4 and San Andreas came on PC months later.

 

[RoadHazard]

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.

What, were you expecting next gen to arrive in the fall of 2025 until now? The general consensus (with leaked data to back it up) is 2028.

 

[Kataploom]

Lol why Rockstar always do the same? Fear of mods? That's very backwards. Well, y'all have it with improved graphics later anyway.

Nah, most of the thread is people making fun of PC gamers for having to wait. As if those that don't want to purchase a console have nothing else to play.

Combination of streamlining dev to deliver a solid launch and at the same time protect sales of your game.

If the game releases with technical hiccups on PC it’s getting bombed on steam and falling victim to a bunch of complaining. And such a mainstream game will invite a lot of piracy too.

This way they get to eat their cake and have it, and they’ve done it before to incredible success.

It’s all about maximizing sales as much as possible. That includes double dippers and people who would’ve pirate it on PC. It’s a smart tactic tbh. Not many games can do what GTA does when it comes to making money.

PC gaming, hold this massive L

Enjoy your 1080p/30fps visual or 900p/60fps performance mode. We will wait and play in 4k/120.

You enjoy those meaningless numbers. I'll enjoy the game, that looks like this, thank you very much

I'd never want to play a single player, story driven, cutscene heavy game in 120fps anyway. Disgusting.

 

[Zathalus]

I agree with this. Game looks fantastic as shown.

I'd never want to play a single player, story driven, cutscene heavy game in 120fps anyway. Disgusting.

This is puzzling however. More FPS is always better. I can enjoy a game at 30FPS, but I'd never choose it over 120FPS if I had the option.

 

[SenkiDala]

I mean anyway games like those are meant to played on a 55/65" screens and not tiny PC monitors (bubububububut you can plug your PC on a tv, yeah yeah hum).

The good thing also about console gamers is that they mostly buy their games and now download the iso with a crack.

Still would be happy when it releases on PC so everyone can play, a Switch 2 version might be good too.

Yep. After reading the first page of this thread i decided to fire back. I have an XBOX Series X and PS5 in my living room collecting dust and i would still rather wait. I would say to each his own but the console fanboys are beyond annoying.

Yeah, because every single game ever looks exactly like it does in an early trailer LMAO.

nah acting surprised and throwing tantrums about something everyone and their mother knew all along is beyond annoying.

Rockstar's games do it

I don't recall throwing a tantrum. Just stating a few facts which appears to have hurt your feelings.

This isn't Ubisoft or CDPR. This is Rockstar games. They never downgrade. What we see is what we get.

This is what happens when a talented and budget rich studio makes a next gen game targeted at 30fps. Its so beautiful, the framerate warriors cant even believe it.

 

[Venom Snake]

Man, the mood in this thread is down, so here's a bad pun to cheer you up:

 

[FrankWza]

I've been here while actually couple years ago when the gen was starting but think things like this the and the way games are running on system speak forselfs. You literally very blind not see how effecting game development.

Trust me I know. But that argument has been made plenty of times. I should say, it hasn't stopped a bunch from making that argument anyway

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

We're in a thread discussing GTA VI and you're contemplating over your steam backlog.....

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

There is also an issue that some just cannot play GTA (or any game for that matter) on consoles. I regularly play with a guy on GTA online that suffers from Multiple Sclerosis his disability means that he cannot play games on a console. So his only option is to wait and hope there will be a PC version and it doesn't take nearly 2 years after the console version (gta 5 was 20 months). But hey Rockstar got to get those double dips and fuck their player base.

 

[rodrigolfp]

He can play only on keyboard?

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

It won't be a problem

Did you put your red slippers on, close your eyes and click your heels together three times like Dorothy in the Wizard Of Oz when she wants to go home while you posted that?
Never know, it might actually come true if you try.

 

[ChiefDada]

Yikes, the idea of PC or die crowd finally getting to play GTA 6 around PS6 release is wild.

If the game looks as good as this final product. I do not mind double dipping on PS5/Xbox ( whatever version runs better ) or even PS5 pro then on PC a year later.

I did the same for GTA5.

 

[Three]

I didn't know Bill Gates had transitioned

 

[Dirk Benedict]

We already knew this. PC gets the shaft, they release it hundreds of years later, igniting another boom in sales.

whilst it is good to see consoles making attempts to open up gaming to those with disabilities (I believe the xbox has had one for a while). There are other disabilities that cannot be catered for by just changing the controller. My friend that plays gta has extreme short sightedness because of his illness which means he has to play close up to the screen with the resolution set to low. He won't be double dipping to play gta 6 because his disability means he cannot play on a console.

 

[Celcius]

I own both a PC with RTX 3090 and a ps5. I think I’d rather play it sooner on a ps5 pro and a big tv than wait years later and play it on pc with higher fidelity these days. Sure it may only be 30 fps or 1440p but I’ll be having fun years earlier.

Besides, even if you do buy Rockstar games on Steam… doesn’t launching the game just launch another launcher? (Meaning you have to have multiple installed?) On PS just boot up and play.

But then I think what if the PC version gets the full path tracing treatment that Cyberpunk got? That plus native 4k plus locked 60fps would be so nice. And the RTX 5090 will probably be out by then too.

All the characters besides the og ones suck.

There is likely going to have a 1080p 60fps mode on PS5 though. They already showed 1440p 30fps on PS5 (supposedly with RTGI and shadows RT). If that's the case then we can hope for a PSSR 4K 60fps mode on PS5 Pro. Maybe.

Oops, I completely forgot that I wrote that... My stance has taken a 180 since then and I'm 100% waiting on the PC version.

[rofif]

Anyone who believes that is a fool.
6-12 months is the standard for rockstar games to come to pc.
They always play the same game "ugh pc?! what is that? naaaah" and then surprise, it releases.

DOUBLE DIPPERS BAIT.

That said, I encourage people to get a console and have some fun instead of waiting. There are still a ton of ps4/5 exclusives to be only played on console

 

[twilo99]

Little bitches for excluding PC

 

[rhodesianshepard]

Rockstar going to save the console market. I wouldn't be surprised if 10mil PS5 bundles are sold in the week it is launched

 

[lmimmfn]

Any GTA mission where you have to try and aim/shoot while on a motorbike with a controller absolutely sux, so im quite happy to wait for a PC version where i can aim with the mouse.

Receipts = I dumped GTA 5 completely on PS3 because of a stupid bike/shooting mission and finished it on PC.

 

[Hudo]

Lol why Rockstar always do the same? Fear of mods? That's very backwards. Well, y'all have it with improved graphics later anyway.

Because they know and bank on retards double and triple dipping. They're going to sell this game multiple times because their next big game will take 10 years again.

Why are they little bitches?? If they would release It the same day on PC people would not double or triple dip.

Rockstar is not the problem. Dumb gamers are the problem.

 

[MarkyG]

Haha as always. Pc keeps losing.
Just get a ps5 pro mans

I'm happy on PC. I'll just get a PS5 Pro closer to launch as I want to play the game right away. I might even double dip if the game is that good and a decent port. I'll just use the PS5 as a media centre or get other timed exclusives. I don't get all upset if a game I'm hyped for doesn't come to my platform. Always a way.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I already have too many games to play and not enough time to play them. I’m happy to wait for the inevitable PC version.

Every time I’ve bought some big highly-anticipated game day 1, I end up wishing I’d waited for all the bug fixes/improvements/DLC/PC version/etc. Final Fantasy XVI is the last time I buy a “guaranteed to come to PC before long” game on console just so I can play on day 1

 

[Negotiator101]

The only news is that it's still 2025! The GOTG is in sight my friends, just open the door and let it in.

 

[RickSanchez]

All the characters besides the og ones suck.

I was looking for the compelling and insightful comment that revived this thread with some new information and all i got was this.

To add my 2 cents to the thread itself, i will get this on PC if/when it eventually comes there. I will wait. It will be difficult but i will wait. Not just for the PC release, but i'll give it another few months after that for the mod scene to gestate.

thread right now

I dont feel this way at all. I am actively hoping it sells well on consoles and Rockstar gets plenty of player feedback, which will lead to improvements which the PC version will get. Still happy for anyone who enjoys this on a console.
