GTA 6 Release Sparks Outrage Among PC Gamers
The delay may be a strategic move by Rockstar to release a superior PC version, but it has undoubtedly sparked outrage among PC gamers. With a potential launch in late 2027 or spring 2028, PC players will have to wait even longer to experience the next Grand Theft Auto chapter. The gaming community remains divided, with some threatening to boycott Rockstar and others remaining hopeful for a superior PC experience.
The upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, scheduled for May 26, 2026, will initially launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, excluding PC gamers who have waited over a decade for the next chapter. This move has sparked outrage among PC loyalists, with some threatening to boycott Rockstar or resort to piracy due to the delay.
The exclusion of PC from the initial launch follows Rockstar's earlier release models, but it comes as a heavy blow to PC gamers who have been eagerly awaiting the game. Fans are expressing frustration online, and the lack of PC support has dampened excitement among a major segment of Rockstar's fanbase. Some fear inevitable storyline leaks and spoilers, which may ruin the gaming experience for PC players.
Despite the delay, many remain hopeful that patience will pay off and the PC version will be the ultimate edition of the game, featuring 4K visuals, improved textures, and higher frame rates. A recent leak suggests that the PC version is set to launch in late 2027 or spring 2028, which may be due to Rockstar's strategy of releasing a superior PC version, as seen in Grand Theft Auto V.
The reported delay and pricing information have not been confirmed by Rockstar Games, and fans are advised to treat the details with scepticism until official confirmation is provided. As the gaming community waits for further updates, one thing is certain - the exclusion of PC from the initial launch has sparked a heated debate among gamers, with some calling for a boycott and others remaining hopeful for a superior PC experience.
