Rockstar Will Be Keen to Release GTA 6 on PC Sooner Rather Than Later Because of AI Clones, Former Dev Says

Former Rockstar North technical director Obbe Vermeij believes Rockstar Games may want to release GTA 6 on PC sooner rather than later, due to the proliferation of AI-generated clones and ports. Vermeij expressed concern that someone could use AI to create a clunky port of GTA 6's PlayStation 5 version, potentially undermining the game's sales.

He stated that while a perfect AI-generated PC version might not exist, even an inferior one could still hurt Rockstar's profits. Vermeij noted that big companies like Take-Two could afford to hire legal experts to combat such issues, but the rapidly evolving world of AI has fundamentally changed the gaming landscape.
