With the plethora of great games getting released every month on PC, it's very hard to feel any excitment for a game that will probably release in 2027 on PC. It doesn't help that GTA Online left a sour taste, and even the single player story was only great for the first few hours then you just start doing heists for the fbi for the rest of the game. Considering we're only getting a cinematic trailer after all this wait, I'm expecting already multiple delays or cyberpunk-level of disaster at launch
I suspect given the success of GTA online their priorities have shifted and they'll want this on as many platforms as possible on release. They're a GTA online company now, units sold are a secondary concern.
Take-Two already announced on their website there will be a time-exclusive release for PS5 and Xbox initially.
My guess is they're going to treat online like a separate game release, like they did for GTA V and RDR2, and get out a PC version when that happens.
