Worrying Update Leaves Players on Alert

Well, my dear GTA players, I have some exciting news for you! A former Rockstar Games developer has revealed that the release of GTA 6 on PlayStation 5 is the top priority over all other versions.

Honestly, Rockstar’s focus on “what sells” isn’t that surprising, especially with GTA fans already criticizing the Xbox Series S for its limitations. However, knowing that the PS5 is the preferred platform for gaming won’t be easy to digest for some gamers, especially those who are eagerly awaiting the PC version of GTA 6.

Still, according to former Rockstar employee Mike York, there’s a very good reason why the PC version isn’t at the forefront of the developer’s plans. “One of the main things I want to point out is that the reason a PC version is coming out later, and not the first thing to come out, is because they want to prioritize this that sells,” York explained via YouTube.

“Most of the time, especially in the past, PlayStation was the best seller. The PlayStation was the console to have; it sold more copies than any other console for the most part; everyone plays on PlayStation. »

You can almost hear Xbox fans getting angry regarding this, as the console war is so deeply rooted in video game culture. However, while it’s not pleasant to hear, it’s the truth – following all, PlayStation has far surpassed Xbox in terms of purchases.

As for why PC versions are specifically overlooked, at least initially, it’s apparently due to the uniqueness of the PC market. York confirmed this, saying: “Every person has a different PC, they run it differently, they have different hardware, different types of CPUs and GPUs. »

He added: “Memory usage and different tasks that the game does in the background can sometimes fail and get messed up during different configurations. That’s what it reduces. They need to test the game more on PC than on an Xbox or PlayStation. You already have to test the game a lot to make it work, so a PC version is even harder. »

While this may be discouraging to some, York was quick to point out that PCs allow for more detail to be added into the game, which ultimately gives PC superiority over consoles. ” They [les développeurs] can do a lot of different things like add more characters, they can populate better vegetation because the PC hardware, depending on what PC you have, will be able to run it better. »

GTA 6 is scheduled for release in 2025, with an initial release only on PS5 and Xbox Series. So, for all GTA fans, you will have to be patient and wait, but it will be worth it!
