That things not even out yet and it’s already outdated.

Well, at least it is good enough to be able to play GTA6 in 2025 unlike PC.

 

[Mythoclast]

Im just glad that last gen is deconfirmed. Let them die. LFG!

 

[Dazraell]

Jim Ryan's successor waiting for massive spike of PS5 sales in 2025

 

[gaming_again]

Ha, suck it, 'master race' nerds!

 

[Lucifers Beard]

I'll wait and see what they say about performance but assuming it's 30fps and controls like shit, I'll wait for PC.

 

[MasterCornholio]

So the rumors turned out to be false. Good.

 

[twilo99]

Why are they holding themselves back like that I just don't understand

 

[Three]

"Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to PlayStation® 5 computer entertainment systems and Xbox Series X|S games and entertainment systems in 2025."

PC version is coming 2024

 

[twilo99]

How the fuck is series s going to handle that density of models and textures?

It won't be a problem

 

[Majormaxxx]

Poorly obviously

Series s will be dynamic 1080p. This takes care of the textures. As for models - it has a good CPU.

There is absolutely no way it will have the grass density detail and draw distance shown in the trailer.

 

[captainnapalm]

Delaying the PC release worked insanely well for them in sales for GTA v, so I guess it's no surprise they're not ditching the model.

But gaming is such a joke with this. Imagine if movies came out on shitty screens a year before they got to high-quality theaters - that's basically what this is.

 

[Dr.D00p]

Why are they holding themselves back like that I just don't understand

Because they don't want the post weeks launch dominated by two things..

1 PC screenshots and videos of the game running at 4K 60 all over the place, making console people angry that they're having to play at 1080p 30 with heavily stripped back graphics

2 PC players raising a stink at how buggy the game is and won't run properly on their rigs.

 

[rofif]

Nah, I learned my lesson with PS4. Besides Bloodborne, the 5 or so games worth playing all gen came to PC.

What. There are still run of graves that never hit pc. The last guardian, shadow of the colossus etc

 

[Majormaxxx]

There is absolutely no way it will have the grass density detail and draw distance shown in the trailer.

easy - they will cut both grass and draw distance. On xbox one there was also less grass. Same with rdr on ps3 - less grass...

 

[Ozriel]

720p on fidelity mode. 480p of it gets a performance mode. What a great 1440p machine.

Wait until you figure out what these resolutions translate to on your 4K machine

There won’t be a performance mode on Series S, that’s for sure.

 

[Hohenheim]

Still haven't played GTA 4 and 5, so if im gonna play this i'll obviously manage to wait until it arrives on PC in all it's glory.
Definitly not playing this in low framerate and/or low resolution with any less than all details maxed out.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I'm gonna try and hold out for the pc version this time. See if I can do it lol.

Unless consoles get 60fps

 

[Three]

Which goes back to the "poorly obviously". It's not going to just be dynamic 1080p and a good CPU. It's likely to have further cuts.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

2025!

I thought this was expected for next year. Assuming it's not coming January 1st 2025, expect something like 18 months-2 years of build up to launch day? Constant articles, videos, leaks and speculation.

Great. Can wait.

 

[skit_data]

I don't really understand why and how Rockstar do it this way? I mean they do it because they can, of course, but there must be some big upsides to doing it this way instead of releasing it on PC simultaneously?

 

[StueyDuck]

It's Rockstar... did this surprise anyone

Eases development time and gives them something to do between releases. Second wind of sales and marketing with double dippers.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Hahaha

I guess it's a combo of Rockstar being rockstar and Sony getting the cheque book out.

 

[Three]

I doubt this has anything to do with Sony's cheque book. MS got their cheque book out for GTAIV and it didn't have a PC release either. It's a Rockstar thing. I still believe xbox is the one who is likely to have paid for anything GTA6 related.

 

[Senua]

No, but that's not going to stop man child e-warriors from gloating for their team. It's a gaf past, present and future time.

 

[Whitecrow]

Who would have guessed.

 

[noise36]

They know people will buy the game 3-5 times over like last game.

 

[Gamezone]

I'm not double dipping so I can get my first impression ruined by 30 FPS and some other flaws.

 

[SCB3]

But why? Didn't GTAV sell really well on PC? Guess its fine for all the re-releases it'll get

 

[Caio]

Of course, the timing almost lines up perfectly with the next-gen consoles.

2025: Current-gen consoles
2026/2027: Enhanced PC version
2027/2028: Next-gen port based on PC version

You damn well know most won't resist and wait 1-2 years to play it on PC. They'll buy it when an enhanced version with path tracing and new graphics comes out, they'll buy it again. Then perhaps a third time for their PS6.

Why you should wait 1-2 years to play it on PC, when GTAVI will look stellar on a PS5 PRO...just curious...

I can see that but those two would’ve effect sales regardless

I wouldn’t be so sure until we know what this game requires in terms of CPU. If it’s CPU heavy, and pro remains on zen2, you will be disappointed

We'll see mate.

 

[GreatnessRD]

Standing on bidness.

I'll wait for the PC version in a year. Rockstar can eat a dick for that bullshit, though.

 

[Cobaiye]

I'll wait.

 

[TrebleShot]

You’ll all buy PS5 and you’ll like it.

 

[Zathalus]

PCMR's stubborn loyalty will be tested. The majority of them will fail and purchase a PS5 Pro.

Spoiler

With the exception of Alex Battaglia.

I'm purchasing a PS5 Pro day one. It is not going to tempt me away from PC, it would just be for PS5 exclusives and the occasional game I still play on the couch.

There is a massive difference between playing the occasional game on your PS5 and switching over to it as your primary platform. Very few devout (note my wording) PC players would switch over.

 

[Pejo]

Sounds good. By the time it comes to PC I will maybe be able to afford a PC that can actually run it.

 

[Denton]

lmao so many childish cunts in this thread

 

[Kenpachii]

Could it be that they want to release gta 6 on pc with online at the same time. I could see them not wanting to dig into the gta 5 online market just yet.

 

[bitbydeath]

Not sure, this chart is all I could find on sales per platform. (and it's data from 2018)
Keep in mind, GTAV is constantly in the top 5, and often number 1 for consoles.

Almost certainly wrong, GTA5 has 1.5 million reviews on Steam alone. That usually means around 60-90 million copies sold. So anything from a third to half of all GTA5 sales have been on PC.

 

[Hudo]

I can wait.

 

[Wiz]

Everyone should just budget to buy this game at least two or three times LTD just like GTA V.

the problem with this chart is that Steam has taken off to another level compared to 10 years ago

Thats only Retail sales, overall it looks like this:

The chart is also wrong stating that the GTA series was exclusive to the Playstation 2 (only the GTA stories were exclusive to the PSP). If memory recalls GTA 3 came out on the PC about 6 months after the Playstation 2 and it also made it's way to the xbox soon after that as did GTA VC and GTA SA. So not sure where they got "gta was a platystation exclusivre". As for GTA 5 sales (if those figures are to be believed) we are talkinga bout a game that was released on the PC 2 years after the PS3/Xbox 360 version. No one in their right might would expect sales figures to rival the consoles for a game that has already been out for 2 bloody years elsewhere.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I doubt this has anything to do with Sony's cheque book. MS got their cheque book out for GTAIV and it didn't have a PC release either. It's a Rockstar thing. I still believe xbox is the one who is likely to have paid for anything GTA6 related.

Would be surprised if MS has it TBH. The PS5 has been so huge this gen that GTA has to partner up with the winner console game, especially no PC version. ALso, Rockstar and Sony have a great history, plus its perfect for the PS5 pro marketing push. It just makes too much sense.

I could be wrong though as I thought they wouldnt skip PC day one this time.
