In comments to IGN, Mr. Zelnick indicated that a PC version of Grand Theft Auto VI will definitely be released but at a later date — just as it usually happens with other Rockstar releases. He also stated that the significance of personal computers is growing, including in the context of the console business. However, he believes that the next generation of gaming consoles is inevitable, and upcoming projects will boost overall sales, despite the tariffs introduced by Trump, which could increase the prices of video games and related products.
