    They will delay and delay the of port, then the new gen of consoles will be announced and they will port it for them first, then pc will get it like 6 months later. Pretty much what happened with 5 iirc.

      It was not just 6 months later. Original GTA v was released on old gen consoles, 1 entire year later on new gen consoles, then again 1.5 years later (meaning 2.5 years later from original release) it got out for PC. But I expect it will come to PC much faster this time, as every day not releasing it is not earned money. They won’t wait until next generation. GTAv was release quite at the end of the last gen back then, this time around 6 will come out in the middle of the generation. Also the current consoles are closer to PC in hardware and software than before, so a port is easier than with v.

      I hope they take their time to upgrade and optimize the PC version. This is a massive game that needs its time. Especially because PC player have higher standards than console players and a more variety in hardware that needs to be tested and ironed out as much as possible. Obviously I’m a user like you and don’t know how much truth to all of this is, but sounds plausible in my opinion.

    Answer should have been simple:

    “Historically, the console version comes first, so lets take things one at a time. Get the console version out the door, deal with any bugs that arise, maybe an expansion or two, then we’ll announce the PC port, not before.”
