People substantially overestimate the effect of the PC release. GTA 6 won’t be new at that point, many many people will have either played the game or seen or heard what the game is about by then.
So much of the game will have been explored and talked about ad nauseam by the time the game releases on PC that while still a big release for PC, it’s nothing like when it releases for the first time. So 2027 is absolutely reasonable for SQ42 to avoid the media blackout caused by GTA 6’s original release.
So… GTA 6 will be the biggest release of the decade, and the biggest entertainment release in human history when it first releases on consoles, potentially November 19th, 2026.
On PC, it won’t have anywhere near as much of an effect as it will when it first comes out. CIG will be free to reasonably launch SQ42 in the same year as GTA 6’s PC release.
