GTA 6 trailer 2 and the website still lists release dates for the PS5 and Xbox series X and S, without mentioning PC

and Issuing the Big Theft Automatic VI Trailer 2 As well as a major update to its official website, all eyes are on the launch platform for the new release date on May 26, 2026.
At the end of the trailer, we see the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S release dates side by side, confirming that the console is still part of the GTA 6 release. In fact, trailer 2 is captured on the PS5 (the trailer specifically mentions the PS5, not the PS5 Pro).
So, what does this mean for the inevitable PC boot, even the version on the Nintendo Switch 2? Some people wonder, and may even hope, that the push toward GTA 6 in May 2026 will lead to reconsideration of Rockstar and parent company Take-Two and release it on PC at the same time. The lack of mentions here may suggest other suggestions.
This is related to the script by developer Rockstar’s previous games are a kind of omission, but in 2025, of course, in 2026, it feels outdated. And, given the increasing importance of PC's success in multi-platform gaming, is GTA 6's speechless missed the opportunity, or even a mistake?
IGN submitted the question to two bosses, Straus Zenik, in a February interviewin his response, he teased GTA 6's final Publish on PC.
“So the CIV 7 can be used immediately on consoles and PCs and switched on and off immediately. In our lineup, we don't always span all platforms at the same time. Historically, Rockstar started with some platforms and then moved from historically to others.”
Rockstar fans noted that the studio was reluctant to release other past games with consoles on PCs and its rapport with Modding Community over the years. Still, some people hope that games as big as GTA 6 may be a turning point in studio PC gaming attitudes.
The title of Big Rockstar ultimately tends to use PCs, but PC gamers will have to wait for the problem that will eventually become one of the biggest games of all time. If it is not May 2026, then when? Fall 2027? Early 2027? May 2027 a year later?
December 2023, former Rockstar developer Trying to explain why GTA 6 can only use PC after hitting the PS5 and Xbox series X and Sand called on PC gamers to provide the studio with “questionable benefits” in its controversial release plan.
But how much is the chance of skipping a PC at the GTA 6 launch? Zelnick told IGN that the multiplier game of IGN's PC version can generate 40% of overall sales, and even more through some games.
“We've seen PCs become an increasingly important part of the console business in the past, and I won't be surprised to see this trend continue,” he said. “Of course, there will be a new console generation.”
Meanwhile, the Nintendo Switch 2 logo isn't available on GTA 6 trailer 2, maybe expecting. While we still don't know what the Switch 2 can do, it will get CD Projekt's Cyberpunk 2077, so there's some hope that the GTA 6 can still remember that it will still be lowered as it can go to the smaller-featured Xbox Series S, which can go to Nintendo's next-generation console.
