A release window for platforms hasn’t been revealed by the studio as of yet, which has left PC fans in distress. Rockstar has a habit of releasing their games on consoles first before proceeding with PC, this delay is usually over a year which makes PC players feel left out. If this turns out to be true again, then PC gamers will get their hands on the title in 2026 or 2027.
The world joins in to celebrate the reveal of GTA 6
The reveal of GTA 6 is huge as it has taken over the world with its influence. Ever since Rockstar released their first teaser for the title, many iconic studios like Activision, Mediatonic, and others took inspiration from the graphic design to create their reveal posts. The idea wasn’t seen as a copy by fans but rather as a show of respect towards Rockstar Games for their patience and hard work.
