pc port 12-18 months later: history says yes, but does the console shortage change anything?

I'm calling it now: PC port November 2027 or May 2028. GTA V was 19 months, RDR2 was 13. Rockstar loves that double-dip money, and the console shortage just means more people will buy it twice. They're not going to rush a PC version when they can sell you a PS5/Xbox copy first.

I'm already dreaming about cruising Vice City at night with whatever the new Wave 103 or Emotion 98.3 is, and I want that in lossless audio on my PC rig. The console versions will be fine, but the PC modding scene for radio stations? That's where the real needle drops happen. Imagine custom Flash FM playlists while the sun sets over the Keys.

The math doesn't change. The wait just hurts more this time. Are you holding out for PC or double-dipping? And what station are you most hyped to hear?

Here in Brazil console shortage hits hard too. I'm not waiting, I'll grab PS5 version at launch and maybe double dip later. Those Leonida beaches already looking like our northeast coast. That radio mod idea sounds sick though.

I told myself I'd wait for the PC port this time. That was a lie, same as '04.

same as '04

i just got a ps5 after eating ramen for six months straight. not buying this twice lol. yall got double dip money and im praying my console doesnt sound like a jet engine over the radio

I'm not sweating the port timeline. Console dispatch happens November 19. That's when I need to see how pursuit protocols stack up.

Same. But I'll take fan noise over a delayed tactical response. I'm tracking loadout variety and how patrol units coordinate during high speed chases. PC will get better frame rates eventually. Modders will probably add custom radio chatter anyway.

Double dipping? Probably. The PS5 version is my baseline for enforcement mechanics. PC can wait until I'm ready to analyze AI pathing with unlocked refresh. As for stations, I just hope the talk radio host has some absurd takes on Leonida's crime wave.

I'm not double dipping at my age. I'll be lucky to hit 30 percent completion by the time the PC port drops.
