GTA 6 for PC? Console-First Strategy and What It Means for Gamers

The hype around GTA 6 is unreal. The moment Rockstar dropped that fi rst trailer the internet basically stopped breathing. Everyone is banging their head on social media sites and keep asking for trailer 2 until it drops. But right after the excitement came a big question “Is GTA 6 coming to PC at launch?”

Bad news? Nope, not yet.

Rockstar’s taking the console first route which means PC gamers will have to wait while PlayStation and Xbox players get early access. Rockstar Games has confirmed that GTA 6 will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X |S as its primary console platforms. So no need to worry to buy new generation console to play GTA 6.

What Does Console-First Strategy Mean?

Let’s clear it up, a console first strategy means Rockstar is releasing GTA 6 only on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S first, with the PC version coming later.

Why Rockstar Chose Console-First (Again)

1. Stability First

Rockstar games are huge. Testing and optimizing for just two platforms (PS5 and Xbox) is way easier than launching across console + PC + cloud at once.

2. Exclusive Partnerships

Sony and Microsoft likely inked some juicy promotional deals. Console exclusivity builds hype and control and money.

3. PC = Mods & Piracy

PC Gamers are notorious they are into making game more fun so they make mods of the game. Rockstar knows the modding scene is huge (and awesome), but they also know PC releases get cracked faster. A delayed release slows that down.

What This Means for PC Gamers in India

If you were planning to play GTA 6 on your gaming laptop or custom built PC at launch you’ll have to wait. There’s no official PC release date yet but predictions say it could come 6–12 months later (just like GTA V).

So what can you do if you want to play it right when it drops?

Rent a Console, Don’t Buy One. Spending ₹55,000+ just for one game? Hard pass.

Craving for Gaming lets you rent next gen consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X/S) in Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, and Faridabad so you can experience GTA 6 at launch without buying the whole setup.
