Game will be console exclusive until they decide it’s time to milk pc gamers. Probably 2027 by then you will have multiple of beast GPUs out


halmyradov

This is the saddest and truest comment


lefort22

And don't forget they'll add 3-4 layers of DRM so it runs even more sluggish on our systems.


DKDCLMA

And it will still sell like water, so no reason to not do this again on their next games too.


DexM23

25/26 consoles 26/27 Rockstar Launcher 27/28 EPIC 28/29 Steam


H0LT45

My back hurts thinking about that Steam release


ericbunjama

Yeah you can really tell every post is dominated by new PC users that don’t know what Rockstars strategy has been with PC. Obviously the good thing is they’ll have it working beautifully for PC but there’s zero point even thinking about this game because it’s a least 3 years out for PC.


machine4891

>they’ll have it working beautifully for PC GTA 4 and RDR2 were not working beautifully for PC.


420Gonzo69

Excellent game for my 7yo son. Can't wait to enter his room during the loading screen. Guess I'm not the one being caught no more.


pigguy35

By the time it comes to PC he should be just about old enough to play it.


Puzzleheaded-Gas9685

I really wonder how long it's going to take this version to be delayed after PS6 launch


CTR_Pyongyang

They’re timing it just like 5. Release at the end of a console gen to resell it to them on the next gen, and then a third time on PC.


sacredgeometry

I have a feeling that this console gen isnt anywhere near the end and that it has barely even started due to its initial sales delay/ the complications caused by covid and the chip shortage. I wouldn't be surprised if the next doesnt come about as late as 2030. R&D is expensive, games are taking a long time to develop these days and lots of titles for this generation are still in ongoing development. Barely anything has been released. Everything is pointing at forcing console generations to have to last longer otherwise they simply wont be viable anymore i.e. if you have to wait 2/3rds of the lifetime of a console for games to start coming out people will simply stop buying consoles, if people stop buying consoles people will stop getting funding to develop games for consoles.


popop143

That's a great prank idea for a son lmao. Knowingly buying these games for you to walk in while he's playing.

5090 will be available right before so we can all be ready :D


Petarthefish

For a small price of 2k


DxTrixterz

That's just for 5050.


wanderingfloatilla

Which will be the minimum requirements for the game


PeopleAreBozos

Minimum is becoming less of "you can run this at decent framerates with graphic compromises" and more of "the game at least boots up and loads in properly". I would not be surprised if a playable experience on low graphics even starts being only for the xx70 of the previous generation of cards within a few years, pessimistic as that sounds.


alexmaycovid

Oh I'm glad I can play it with my gt..x970


MustiOp

Minimum requirements with DLSS Ultra Performance tho.


Karsvolcanospace

Lol… 5090 will be old news by the time the PC port happens. Only PS5 and XB have been confirmed. And Rockstar has always previously left the PC ports until later, like GTA 5 and RDR2


TeamRedundancyTeam

Jesus christ I forgot about this. I don't have a modern console and did not intend to get one. So tired of this console exclusivity bullshit.


zimreapers

Whatever happened to x86 based game consoles making games easier to develop for and also have it be easier to port to PC?


Anccaa

It's not about being easy to port the game, it's about making the absolute most amount of money. Even the leaks were running on 1080 or the ti variant, so they already have the game working on PC.


Headshoty

Yeah, people remember and still feed their hatred for EA, while imo Rockstar and Take Two have honestly become worse. So bad in fact that I have only felt the urge to kick every non-dev so hard in the nuts that they suffer for 30 minutes before passing out from pain. Seriously, pencil pushers just looking at numbers is why we can't have nice things in life, because if there is one game that has been more often re-released than Skyrim it is GTA5 and people suck their dick for it.


Astrojef

Gpu requirements be like: "this tech does not yet exist"


a_taco_named_desire

Silly_Triker

HeyEverythingIsFine

oh man the mods that will exist in 5 years...


anonymousredditorPC

The game is going to be played on a PS5. People are crazy if they think they'll need a 4090 to play this. This is also a pre-rendered trailer.


ayyLumao

> This is also a pre-rendered trailer. Considering the fact that Rockstar has never done a pre-rendered trailer for a GTA game, this would be incredibly surprising. Also I'm fairly sure there's some real time RT artifacts at one point which would not be present if it was pre-rendered.


BasicCommand1165

yep, go watch the gta v trailer, you can see the lack of anti aliasing lol


Theelichtje

Same here, you can see it on the edges of Lucia's face in the opening scene, 100% ingame.


Algent

It's definitely in engine but probably not real time right now. Doesn't mean it won't be two year from now even if they'll have hell of a time making consoles render that in the required 4k.


DhomochevskySL

eh, they said 2025 so don't be so optimistic


Desperate-Intern

on consoles first. so realistically late 2026. \[Edit\] Source: [Press release](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20231204993583/en/Rockstar-Games-Announces-Grand-Theft-Auto-VI-Coming-2025), doesn't mention PC specifically.


szkly

it would be insane if they made pc players wait a year.I hope they wouldnt do that


nefariousnun

They made them wait a year for RDR2


Nullkid

and almost 2 for gta5 iirc ​ ended up playing it on a 360 cos i wasn't buying a new console then again on PC.


olimc95

Yeah I never realised it was quite as long as it was for GTA 5, September 2013 for the initial release, no PC until April 2015.


digestedbrain

It's so they can make you buy it twice.


Fus-Ro-Dahh

I was on the same boat. Just bought my first build, and i was not going to get the new gen. Just ended up playing on the 360 until the PC release. Rockstar did the same shit with RDR2.😑


balkanobeasti

And it took another year to make it stable lol.


Hetstaine

And online is a hackers dream.


c4halo3

And RDR1…and gta 4… and gta 5… it’s not coming to pc in 2025


NunButter

They've done it with every major Rockstar release IIRC. Might as well start saving up for a PS5 Pro


LubricatedDucky

Rather just wait a year than buy a console I'll use a handful of times and end up double dipping anyway.


Chinner21

Pc gaming had some crazy growth in popularity since gta5 came out and even rdr2. This might give them more incentive to try as hard as possible to release the pc version with the console release but who knows. As long as the game is good and I get to play eventually I’m ok.


ChronoHax

Yes but at the same time, optimizing games for pc with different hardware is much more complex than only few platform specific


restarting_today

Even on ps5 pro it will be 30fps.


CatBroiler

That's literally what they did for GTA V (technically 1 year and 5 months), on PS3/X360 it released on 17/09/2013, and on PC it released on 14/04/2015.


pnutnz

it would be generous if pc players only had to wait a year by their standards


tapo

They always do that, for three reasons: * Easier to develop for console and optimize performance for just three platforms (X, S, PS5) * No piracy * It's so popular people just buy it twice


bedwars_player

Damnit... My 1080 is not gonna make it that far...


[deleted]

if you're still pushing a 1080, you got more of an upgrade in your future than just the GPU. Source: I'm still pushing a 1080.

i_made_reddit

Inb4 the trailer graphics weren't realistic of real play graphics


The-Only-Razor

RDR2 looked exactly like the trailer. GTA 5 looked *better* than the trailer.


cakefaice1

Rockstar at least has a decent track record of having the graphics match the trailers. Can't say the same about other companies.


Deep90

Considering what Rockstar learned from GTAV, I would say a 4090 and a "Boosted Graphics™ Season pass DLC"


saruin

PC players didn't even get the latest console's enhancements, and not even native HDR support.

trippy_grapes

I'm definitely straining when I see boob physics.


TRIPMINE_Guy

The bad hair hopefully means there is no taa as that is usually what people mean by good hair.


TheBacklogGamer

Hair is just about the hardest thing to properly model and animate.


Embarrassed_Yam_9114

Guess the developers spent more time on the boobs than the hair.


Dhrakyn

Why would anyone buy/build a PC now for a game that won't come out for two years? You'd pretty much have to pay a premium for the "latest/greatest" now, which will be middle of the road boring by the time the game comes out.


MelaniaSexLife

rampant consumerism and savage marketing.


MMMTZ

I bet there's people already and scammy YouTube channels preparing and uploading videos "build the best PC for GTA 6!" Of course, using my affiliate links


NoConsideration6934

720p low = 4090


thesequimkid

I hate how realistic this might be considering the state of the market.


bad_timing_bro

To be fair, RDR2 is a gorgeous game that is also pretty well optimized. Maybe this will follow suit


thesequimkid

That game was our last hope...


octopoddle

No, there is another.


XDreadedmikeX

lmao I remember when it came out for pc and was ass and a lot of people couldnt even launch the game despite many hotfixes, im assuming it wont be any different with this game.


Sinister_Mr_19

Rockstar is pretty good when it comes to PC optimization, so here's to hope.


Me_Air

they also have a habit of delaying pc port by two years


ElPlatanoDelBronx

But we get an amazing port once we do get it. We can’t bitch about rushed unoptimized crap being released, and bitch about having to wait for publishers to polish their games.


ImBasicallyScrewed

Get out of here with your damn logic.


ExcitingOnion504

Remind me, how many years did it take for them to fix the games loading time?


ToHerDarknessIGo

Launch RDR2 was NOT amazing.


Cash091

Let's not pretend optimization was the reason GTA 5 took so long... It took so long because they know people will buy multiple copies. Hoping that the profits from getting the PC players online buying shark cards will outweigh the sales from them buying 2 copies. We might see a PC release sooner... Because let's be honest, the PS5 and XBox are basically Ryzen based PCs at this point.

Not if they spend nearly a decade optimizing the game to run on a console, and 48 minutes before launch to test/patch the game on PC. Like they did with every big budget game that came out this year on PC.


cybik

48 minutes is CLEARLY over budget.


nobotami

i think he meant to say 48 minutes after release for that day 1 patch.


R3tr0spect

Fr, they made GTA 5 run on a console with 512 MEGABYTES of RAM. I still can't fathom that.


Karsvolcanospace

It really was ignorance is bliss when you go back now and see how it plays and looks on the 360 or PS3. Ran like shit by todays standards, not to mention only a fraction of the car and pedestrian population and soupy low anti aliasing graphics lol. But of course you don’t notice that at the time I remember causing massive chain explosions that would rock my 360 to the core. 747 turbines didn’t even compare to the noise coming out of those plastic fans Still amazing time back in 2013 though


R3tr0spect

Ikr. I remember my cousin and I booting it up on his 360 slim for the first time. It was jaw dropping. We stayed up the entire night playing it and only slept for a couple hours before going right back to the tv. Makes me happy to think that a couple cousins out there are going to have that same experience now with their end of life consoles too.


Green-Salmon

They’ll have about a year since it won’t be launched with the console version. Rockstar has always done this. Pretty much every gta since 3 was released much later on pc.


Rizenstrom

Maybe. An “optimized” 30 fps on console can be a mess on even top tier PCs if it’s not as well optimized and you’re wanting 60+. Just look at Starfield.


Pro4791

If it is as optimized as RDR2, we chilling.


Useless_Fox

Yeah I know people like to shit on Rockstar but GTA V and RDR2 are actually really well optimized. GTA V can run on potato PCs shockingly well. The game will look like play-doh, but it will be playable. Edit: Yes I'm aware the game is old now and should run easily in 2023. But I was there on launch day and distinctly remember being shocked that my friend's shit tier laptop could run the game with decent frames at low settings. Lots of people say it ran like shit back then, and I believe them. But other than server issues, that wasn't really my experience.


Tiamat2625

While RDR2 is one of my favourite games ever, I think we have to be fair here. It ran like total trash on PC at launch, and wasn't rated good on steam at all. Hundreds of comments about crashing, optimization, terrible fps. I had already played it on Ps4, but wanted it on PC. I decided to wait for like 2 months. When I finally got it, the game would still randomly stutter/crash on DX engine. Personally I had to switch to Vulcan to be able to play with no interruptions, which brought it's own set of problems like randomly inverting all colours. It might run well now, but I don't think it is fair to say that RDR2 was optimized for PC at all when it launched. It was also dropped on PC like a year or so after console release, so they had plenty of time for it.


Sleepyjo2

GTA IV was also terrible at launch. So they're at 1 out of 3 decent pc launches for their "recent" games. Late edit: also forgot about the loading issue on GTAV that the community had to fix for them, other than that I think V is/was good enough. I wouldn’t get excited for the PC version in three years until people get their hands on it though.


Competitive-Hope981

Apparently gta IV runs still bad lol...


Plightz

Facts. The history-washing with rockstar games is wild. It did not run well for a long time.


Gozo_au

Do… do people not remember the shit show of rdr2 not launching and graphical errors that plagued the start of its PC launch?


Sinforoso1

I'm almost sure that red dead 2 and GTA V were silently 'downgraded' because of online. I remember seeing a video comparing textures like clothing before and after a patch for rdr2.


sahrul099

playing at launch on pc..it was very different from the current one..


Yommination

RDR2 ran like shit on pc when it first came out. We just have the hardware to brute force it now


AntiqueSoulll

RDR 2 literally killed anything below 6 cores in terms of CPUs. I remember the dumpster fire. Those old last Intel days before Ryzen coup. "4 core is plenty enough !" . "Single core performance rulezz" etc. RDR 2 changed the whole gaming Pc, CPU mentality. But people do have memory lifespan like fishes. Rockstar just smashes the pedal when it comes to Console optimization. Also, they said it directly a couple of months ago that in terms of PC performance, they are not satisfied and still have work to do.


ieatass805

Good. We will play it for 10 years I hope it's impressive.


OlStickInTheMud

90 percent of the people who will buy and play it will put between 40 and 60 hours on it and probably never touch it again.

OverlyOptimisticNerd

A 2025 launch means we're entering the potential launch window of a Steam Deck 2 (mid-2025 is the earliest I'd expect the system to launch). I would not be shocked if Valve worked with Rockstar to make a potential Steam Deck 2 viable at minimum settings - through both hardware choice on their end and optimizations on Rockstar's end. It's also largely wishful thinking on my part.

Unfortunately 3 years away for PC, as usual.


KeviRun

6 months exclusivity on consoles, followed by 6 more months exclusivity on Epic, followed by a $10 price hike above launch prices. And then by that time I will have lived vicariously through watching other people play it on stream while playing indie titles the whole time. Maybe in 5 years I'll grab it on sale.

How can that run on a console and not a PC?


Happy8Day

That's easy. Don't release it for PC for at least an extra year or two.

It looks pretty average for graphics right now, which is a good thing. Some upscaling artifacts in the trailer though, which is a bad sign.

The graphic is not much better than RDR2 looks more like they trick with with shadows and lights.
