Ex-Rockstar Tech Director Obbe Vermeij: The Threat of AI-Made Unofficial Ports Could Bring GTA VI to PC Sooner
Speaking to Rock Paper Shotgun, the former Rockstar technical director said he would be “concerned” that someone could use AI to turn the PS5 version into a PC port. Rockstar has not announced a PC version.
Reported — Dexerto reported on November 7 that Obbe Vermeij, a former Rockstar technical director, told Rock Paper Shotgun: “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.”
He added that such a port “won’t be as good as their effort, but it could still also hurt their sales”, that it would take “hours and hours and hours” and probably “tens of thousands of dollars in tokens”, but “if it’s GTA, I think people are gonna try it.” Rock Paper Shotgun’s headline reads this as a reason the official PC version could come sooner.
Vermeij left Rockstar years ago. This is his opinion, not inside knowledge of Rockstar’s plans. For context, GTA V reached PC in 2015, about 18 months after its PS4 and Xbox One release.
The limit of this story: Rockstar has not announced a PC version or a date. The quotes are as Dexerto gives them; Rock Paper Shotgun’s page did not load for us.
