Spring (maybe Fall) 2026, got it.

Damn that's cold. That 100% definitely confirms PC version is now 2026 instead of it being Fall 2025 (assuming console were Spring or Summer 2025 before)

I'm thinking the same, but I also do think Rockstar does not want there to be some massive lag time between the PS5/Xbox Series release and PC either this time around. If consoles release in October 2025, then hopefully PC will be March 2026.

Obviously there will be editions of this but I'm wondering on the base game price, it could go 2 ways. Lower than the £70 stuff which will cause even more people to buy it because GTA and "cheap" or it's going to sell anyway so more than £70. ... EDIT: Oh and the option of follow suit and just £70 obvs.

Bizwas The Fury (on 17 May 2024)

So you are saying that the base price will be lower than, equal to or higher than 70£... bravely putting yourself on the spot with your predictions sir!

The Fury Bizwas (on 17 May 2024)

Not a prediction but yes. ;-)

More wondering how it will go based on rumours prior about how 2K might charge more than the current set $70 price because it's GTA and they can.
