Rockstar executive discusses pressure for GTA VI PC port
Tech Desk
A former Rockstar technical director has suggested that the emergence of AI-assisted decompilation ports could pressure the developer to accelerate the release of an official PC version of GTA VI. This follows recent reports detailing efforts to run console versions of the game through Nvidia GPU technology on PC platforms.

Obbe Vermeij, who left the company in 2009, discussed the historical tension between PC and console releases in a recent interview. He recalled how artists were upset when the original Grand Theft Auto had its 256-color textures reduced to 16 for the PlayStation 1 version.
"So it always has been that sort of awkward relationship between PC and the console," Vermeij said. "So in those days, it was like PC first and then console second, even though that didn't really make much sense for the sales, because the PlayStation versions sold way better."
