Hot take: GTA 6 was delayed because Rockstar wants it on the new Steam console

Tell me this timing isn’t weird.

Valve finally announces a real Steam console for 2026

SteamOS support is blowing up

Rockstar suddenly pushes GTA 6 back an entire year

Everyone keeps saying ‘polish,’ but come on Rockstar doesn’t delay a billion dollar game 12 months for a couple bugs. My guess? They want GTA 6 ready for the Steam Machine so they can drop it on Steam and hit every platform at once.

Imagine GTA 6 releasing on PC day one AND being a flagship title for the Steam console.

Wild theory or actually possible?

(THIS IS ALL JUST A WHAT IF? OR HOW COOL WOULD IT BE? SCENARIO. JUST THOUGHT I'D ADD THAT SEEING HOW IT UPSETS A FEW PEOPLE)

The Steam console is just a pc in disguise. Has Rockstar ever release a GTA on pc and consoles at the same time? don't think so.

that makes zero sense man :(

the PC release for GTA6 is a whole separate development process that might not have even started yet. this was the console release for GTA6 that has been delayed. we're not getting it on PC till up to 2 years after it's console release if the release of GTA V is anything to compare it to.

also... a year ago they just booted 4 million steam Deck users from being able to play their game online. i am not sure they care very much about Steam OS

The Steam "console" is a PC. R* aren't even thinking about the PC release of GTA 6 yet. They won't bother with that until the console versions release. Earliest the PC version is coming out is 2027/28 but more likely 2029/30.

Unlike other consoles, the Steam Machine doesn't need game dev units to be sent out long beforehand to develop for said system.

Rockstar did not have any knowledge about it.

The Steam Machine was announced to game developers with this news post and a corresponding email blast: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/groups/steamworks/announcements/detail/563639634283728255

If anything, GTA 6 is probably delayed because they just fired a bunch of game developers for trying to unionize.

Yeah. Rockstar made the announcement nearly a week before (Nov 6, 2025 ) that Valve announcement.

so there is 0% chance that people on the top had no idea steam had the steam machine in the works? They didnt just wake up one day and say lets release a steam machine. Im sure they have been working on it for a while

They are releasing on consoles first, like always.

We won't get GTA 6 on PC until atleast 2028

The Steam Machine is a PC. It runs Steam OS which is based on Linux but can install a full Windows 11 if you want to.
The PC version of GTA VI will at the earliest release 1-2 years after the console release.
That was all already known.

Also the specs of the Steam Machine are beginner level. Its nice for such a small package but it wont be enough to play GTA VI decently in any major capacity. Maybe at 1080p/very low graphic settings.
Rockstar definitely wont delay their major flagship for a release on a mini PC system.

I don't think Rockstar cares about what Steam is doing in terms of hardware releases. Rockstar has their own launcher and knows people will buy even if Steam didn't exist.

I dont think any developer is making games for the Steam Machine at all, as that would mean creating native Linux builds of their games, instead of "emulating" Windows APIs.

NDAs keep people silent for a reason.
Games like GTA or AAA in general is expected to have delays for any one reason, which is why indies usually say "Coming Soon" or "it'll be ready when it's ready" because AAA customers complain when those games get delayed.
