However, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick was recently asked whether the Grand Theft Auto VI would make its way over to PC players and replied: "Rockstar has an approach to platforms which we’ve seen before, and they’ll make more announcements in due time.

When the launch finally arrives, Grand Theft Auto fans will have been waiting an astonishing 13 years between instalments in the best-selling series.

During that interval, Rockstar Games has released Grand Theft Auto V on three generations of consoles, starting with the Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 back in September 2013.

An upgraded version of the game launched on the latest crop of video game consoles, Xbox Series X|S and Sony PS5, in March 2022 with support for 4K Ultra HD visuals, ray-tracing, 60 frames-per-second, and 3D audio. The continued popularity of the game is partly attributed to GTA Online.

Microsoft added Grand Theft Auto V to its Netflix-like subscription, dubbed Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, earlier this year. Subscribers can download the title and play on consoles, Smart TVs, PCs, smartphones and tablets with progress synchronised across devices.

Experts believe the next instalment in the Grand Theft Auto franchise could break its own record sales numbers. Its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto V, still holds the crown for the best opening week of sales in video game history — raking in $1.15bn (£1.2bn) in five days. It has gone on to become the second biggest game of all-time, although it's still 100 million copies behind the Gold Medalist, Minecraft.

But many like Dmitri Williams, a video game business expert and professor at University of Southern California, expect the long-awaited follow-up to perform even better.

"The games industry is simply massive globally, and is no single genre or platform. It's so large and so varied that even fractions of it are larger than whole parallel industries like movies.”

When it finally goes on-sale, Grand Theft Auto VI looks set to dominate the gaming world, with analysts predicting record-breaking sales of $3 billion in its first year... especially if whispers about , then revenue could be supercharged by the launch too.
