This is a very quick turnaround for modern Rockstar games, but it’s also a reflection of how things have changed. PC is a bigger percentage of the market than it ever has been before, PlayStation + Xbox combined is smaller than it was for the previous two generations, and even if Rockstar previously expected GTA6 to be responsible for tens of millions of consoles sold, shortages in the wake of the AI bubble now make that somewhere between improbable and impossible.

I doubt that’s why. People literally bought out PS5’s after the gameplay reveal. I think the reason they are speeding things up is due to the fact that slop machines allowed massive progress in emulation, which more than likely is going to allow PC players to play GTA 6 without waiting for Rockstar and they hate that.
