Former Rockstar tech director warns AI ports might push GTA 6 to PC earlier
Former Rockstar technical director Obbe Vermeij says AI-generated unofficial ports could pressure Rockstar to release GTA 6 on PC sooner than planned.
“It really has changed the world, and 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”
AI ports could threaten GTA 6 PC sales
Vermeij states an unofficial port might not match Rockstar's quality but could still hurt sales, potentially forcing a quicker PC release.
“It won’t be as good as their effort, but it could still also hurt their sales”
Unofficial GTA 6 PC port would cost tens of thousands
Vermeij estimates creating an unofficial port would take hours and cost tens of thousands of dollars in tokens, but people might still try.
“It will take a long time. It actually, physically takes hours and hours and hours to do these things. And it will take a bunch of tokens and everything, so it would probably cost like, tens of thousands of dollars in tokens”
