Former producer explains GTA 6 delay on PC while Capcom prepares new Resident Evil 1
The electronic games market dawns busy this Wednesday, July 15, 2026, with important revelations about the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI. A former Rockstar Games developer has come forward to clarify the controversial absence of computers in the title’s initial launch, demystifying the rumor that the studio ignores PC players.

The scenario is completed with exciting updates for the German fair Gamescom 2026, the casting of veteran Steve Buscemi for the Far Cry television series and the official farewell of Glen Schofield, the brilliant mind behind the space horror franchise Dead Space.
