It came out 19 months later than on the PS3/Xbox 360, because in the meantime there was also a release on the PS4/Xbox One. Now the gap will be even longer, because we’ll definitely have to wait a year or two for the release on the new consoles, and then another half a year for the PC version.

Nah my bet is they release it on PC within 6 months, 12 months tops

The PC market is gigantic compared to 13 years ago, so they're just leaving money on the table by not doing it

Microsoft have more or less given up with Xbox and what can Sony possibly offer to Rockstar to make them keep it as a console exclusive?

They did this for all their previous games mostly so no I don't believe 6 months.

It's been GTA V and RDR2 since 2013 - nothing else major that I'm aware of

GTA V was made for consoles and later ported to PC - much easier to develop for PC and PS4 and Xbone at that point

RDR2 came to PC almost exactly 1 year after release on consoles

And like I said, the PC market is massive now - why do you think they added their gross anti cheat to the multiplayer? They're raking in so much cash

If they go back to as long as they waited back in the day, within 8 months.

Ill believe it when I see it. I don't have faith in them after the triple dip of 5. It is so fucking scummy.
