GTA 6 on PC could postpone to 2027: the words of a former developer Rockstar

PC players, prepare for a long wait: the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 for your system could slip until 2027. The announcement comes from Obbe Vermeij, former technical director of Rockstar Games, who worked in the series until 2009, after the release of GTA 4. Vermeij explains that Rockstar awaits 100% of the game before releasing it, a choice dictated by the awareness of the risks associated with incomplete launches, especially in the current context in which many titles are released in a problematic state. While recognizing the magnitude of GTA 6, the former developer underlines the danger of such a mistake. A user asked Vermeij directly about the porting for PC, receiving the answer that will take a long time: assuming a release on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2025, the PC edition of GTA 6 could arrive only in 2027. Vermeij justifies this delay with the complex technical challenges of PC ports, which require significantly longer development times than console versions. Rockstar's strategy, as demonstrated by previous titles such as GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, previews the completion of the console versions before proceeding with the porting PC. Despite the opening of Rockstar to the PC platform – after a 14-year fast – the delay in porting the new chapter seems inevitable. VERDETTO: CRITICO Il commento di Obbe Vermeij, ex direttore tecnico di Rockstar, sulla possibile uscita del porting PC di GTA 6 nel 2027 è quanto meno preoccupante. La sua giustificazione – la complessità tecnica dei porting PC e il metodo di sviluppo di Rockstar che prevede il completamento delle console prima del PC – non fa altro che confermare un ritardo già ampiamente dibattuto dalla community. L'idea di una data di rilascio così lontana, 11 anni dopo l’uscita di GTA 4, solleva seri dubbi sulla strategia di Rockstar e sul reale impegno della compagnia verso la piattaforma PC, abbandonata da quasi due decenni. Il fatto che Vermeij stesso ammetta che ci vorrà "molto tempo" per il porting, implicando un arrivo nel primo trimestre del 2027, alimenta un pessimismo diffuso tra i giocatori interessati alla nuova esperienza di GTA VI.
