Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has addressed the GTA 6 PC experience during an investor call, stating that PC and console gaming capabilities are generally similar. According to PC Gamer, his comments followed a question about whether Grand Theft Auto players on PC have different experiences from those on consoles, particularly regarding roleplaying features.

During the Q&A session, Oppenheimer & Co analyst Martin Yang asked whether Take-Two intended to close the experience gap between PC and console players or treat the platforms independently because of their technical capabilities.

Zelnick acknowledged that franchises such as Civilization originally started on PC before expanding to consoles. However, he described the differences between the platforms as limited.

"generally speaking, the experiences on console and PC tend to be roughly the same"

He also stated that "the capabilities of the PC platform today aren't different materially from console capabilities."

The discussion also touched on the differences between standard GTA Online gameplay and the PC modding community. While the vanilla GTA Online experience is described as roughly equivalent across PC and consoles, PC players have access to modifications that have helped keep GTA 5 relevant for 13 years.

Take-Two previously acquired FiveM, the GTA 5 multiplayer modification associated with numerous roleplaying servers.

Another question during the investor call addressed console jailbreaking, modding, and monetization opportunities. In response, Zelnick confirmed the commercial performance of the FiveM business.

"the FiveM business is a profitable business"

When asked about modding more broadly, Zelnick also stated that Take-Two "isn't religious on the topic."

Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled to launch on November 19 as a single-player-only game for consoles. The source reports that no PC release date has been announced.

There are also no known plans announced for a new version of GTA Online set in Vice City and its surrounding areas.

Zelnick's comments did not confirm whether future GTA Online roleplaying features or custom server options would be available as standard features on consoles. The investor call also provided no confirmed details about a PC version of Grand Theft Auto 6.
