Former Rockstar Director Says AI Clone Threat Could Speed GTA VI PC Port by Months

Summary
Obbe Vermeij, Rockstar’s former tech director, said AI-assisted decompilation could pressure the studio to release an official GTA VI PC port sooner than its usual delayed schedule.
That threat centers on emerging efforts to run the console version on PCs through Nvidia DLSS-powered GPUs, potentially giving PC players an unofficial workaround before Rockstar ships its own version.
Vermeij said Rockstar has long had an awkward PC-console split: the original Grand Theft Auto was PC-first, but PlayStation sales pushed the company toward console-led releases.
That strategy has left major Rockstar PC ports arriving months or even years after console launches, even as other publishers increasingly treat PC as an equal platform.
