United Kingdom, May 6 -- Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has explained why Grand Theft Auto VI will not launch on PC alongside its console release later this year.

The long-awaited sequel is currently scheduled to arrive on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S, but PC players will once again have to wait for a separate release window.

Speaking to Bloomberg, Zelnick said the decision comes down to prioritising Rockstar's "core audience" at launch.

He explained: "Rockstar always starts on console because I think with regard to a release like that you're judged by serving the core. If your core consumer isn't there, if they're not served first and best, you kind of don't hit your other consumers."
