Dubious $225 GTA 6 pre-order listing emerges online

According to autoevolution, a website by the name of G2A has listed Grand Theft Auto 6's PC version for pre-order, reportedly for $225. Needless to say, this is 100% fake, as Rockstar Games hasn't announced anything about the game being available for pre-order.

Moreover, the developer hasn't confirmed if GTA 6 will be released on PC yet. All that is known at this moment is that the game will be released on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles in 2025.

The reported $225 pre-order price itself is a dead giveaway of the listing being fake. Neither Rockstar Games nor its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, have yet revealed Grand Theft Auto 6's price. That said, there are rumors about it costing $150 at launch.

However, this exceeds current industry standards by a huge margin and should be taken with a massive grain of salt. Readers should only trust information that comes directly from Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive.

The report from autoevolution also mentioned a YouTube ad that claimed GTA 6's alpha version was out and that it could be downloaded to test the gameplay.

This is clearly another false claim, as official sources haven't announced anything about the highly anticipated sequel's alpha version being available. So, avoid downloading anything from such links.

Will Grand Theft Auto 6 ever come to PC?

Rockstar Games has a history of releasing new titles on consoles first and PC later. This can be seen with games like Red Dead Redemption 2, Grand Theft Auto 5, and even with older releases like 2004's Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.

Therefore, it is possible that Grand Theft Auto 6 might be released on PC sometime after its launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2025. Until then, you should wait for Rockstar to reveal more details about the GTA 6 map, gameplay features, release date, and more.
