If you weren't 100% certain that GTA6 would release as a console exclusive at launch initially, you're an idiot. This is how Rockstar has launched every game since the Xbox 360. Furthermore, I can assure you the PC release will come about a year later, and will be the buggiest mess ever launched for the first month.

RDR2 pc release was 13 months later and GTA5 pc release 17 months later. I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes at least 2 years with GTA6.

Probably not because GTA6 is planned to release on pc so they will do most of the work beforehand and the xbox is basically a glorified stripped down windows OS.

And NOTHING HAS CHANGED in twenty years - yeah? Not a fucking thing that should shift how they release games. Consoles are still sooo different from PCs, with their AMD x64 CPUs and AMD RDNA GPUs.

OK but Take Two is greedy as all hell. Their previous launches taught them that gamers are willing to double-dip so why would they pass up on the opportunity to earn twice?
