“I think I would be concerned, if I was Rockstar, that somebody would just take the PS5 version and get AI to change it to PC,” Vermeij told Rock Paper Shotgun.
What happened
Former Rockstar technical director Obbe Vermeij said AI-powered reverse engineering could let someone turn the PS5 version of Grand Theft Auto VI into a PC port, potentially changing Rockstar’s timing calculus. He estimated the effort could cost “tens of thousands of dollars in tokens” and said the result might satisfy some PC players, though it probably would not match Rockstar’s work. There is no official PC port timing announcement.
