Rockstar Games is weighing an accelerated PC launch of Grand Theft Auto VI after a former technology director warned that AI‑generated copies could erode the title’s market impact. The insider suggests releasing the official PC version sooner rather than later would curb the spread of such clones.
A performance trailer posted on shattered.io showed GTA VI running at 90 FPS on an RTX 4080 using DLSS 5, fueling speculation on the game’s readiness for high‑end PCs. The 90 FPS result suggests the engine scales well with the latest hardware, reinforcing the argument for a prompt PC release.
