They’ve dominated gaming for two decades, but their latest release has been scrapped. After two postponements, Football Manager 25 will never see the light of day. For the first time since 2004, Sports Interactive will not release an annual entry – but that doesn’t mean the franchise is dead.

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has confirmed that GTA 6 will be a console-first release, with no immediate plans for a PC version. During the company’s latest earnings call, Zelnick stated: “We understand exactly what the current console market looks like.”

What This Means for PC Players

Zelnick made it crystal clear: “GTA 6 is a console release.” That means no PC launch in 2025, and possibly not even in 2026. However, industry speculation suggests that the game could arrive on PC by late 2026 or even 2027, potentially coinciding with NVIDIA’s next-gen RTX 60-series GPUs.

GTA 6 Remains on Track for a Fall 2025 Release

During Take-Two’s Q3 2024 earnings report, the company reaffirmed that GTA 6 is still set for Fall 2025, with no announced delays. Speaking to IGN, Zelnick acknowledged that “there’s always a risk of delays” but maintained confidence in Rockstar’s ability to meet the deadline.

When asked how certain he was about the release window, Zelnick responded: “Look, there’s always the potential for setbacks, and as soon as you start making absolute statements, you jinx things. But we feel very good about where we’re at.”

Leaks Suggest Unprecedented Environmental Destruction in GTA 6

Zelnick remained tight-lipped about additional game details, but reaffirmed that “Rockstar is committed to perfection. We never declare victory before it happens, and we know the competition is always evolving.”

Recent leaks suggest that GTA 6 will feature significant destructibility, with around 40% of in-game buildings being accessible and capable of taking structural damage. This means that skyscrapers, banks, hotels, and shopping malls could have breakable windows and doors, adding a new layer of realism to the gameplay.

Smaller buildings such as shops, pawn stores, and gas stations will be even more destructible, with up to 60% of structures being damageable. This destruction will reportedly include crumbling walls, interior devastation, collapsing rooftops, and extensive fire damage. However, the game will not feature full-scale building collapse, as structural frames will generally remain intact.
