The PC version will come out with the PS6/Xbox whatever ports come out. Rockstar has figured out exactly how to milk the most sales out of their games
Xbox 2 maybe
The fifth Xbox being called Xbox Two is such a Microsoft move
My prediction is Xbox Series 360 or they might skip that and call it the Xbox Series One.
Not just sales. Rockstar is getting paid to launch exclusively on consoles.
Unless it's either PS5 or Xbox exclusive (not both), I don't think that's true. Sony and Microsoft wouldn't collude to prevent launch on PC. That's extremely illegal, even for companies that are masters of dodging antitrust laws.
The most realistic explanation (IMO) is that Rockstar did their research and found that most PC players also own a console, and will very likely buy the game twice in the long run.
Or if we're being charitable, maybe the game needs more optimization work before it can run well on the Steam deck, and they want that working before launching on PC.
By both consoles? How would that make any sense?
According to the Microsoft leaks, that would be 2028.
