A former Grand Theft Auto dev weighs in on GTA 6's delayed PC version: 'it's hard to do that as a developer, because the team isn't big enough'

Grand Theft Auto 6 didn't get a PC release date along with its trailer. Historical precedent isn't promising either, since Red Dead Redemption 2's port took 13 months to make the jump, while GTA 5 took a whopping 19. 

At the time of writing, though, GTA 5 is number 10 on the top sellers list of Steam. Part of that's due to GTA 6 hype, sure, but this is Grand Theft Auto we're talking about. I'm willing to bet it's sold like hotcakes on all platforms. Despite that, the PC has received the middle child treatment from Rockstar Games, with GTA Online lagging behind in terms of key updates and some major issues with RDR2's port on release.
