## Summary

Obbe Vermeij warned that AI tools could let someone turn the PS5 version of GTA VI into an unofficial PC port, pressuring Rockstar to release the PC version sooner. He said reverse engineering the game could cost "tens of thousands of dollars in tokens," and that the result likely would not match Rockstar's own port. Reports say Rockstar is aiming for a PC release in the first quarter of 2027, though it has not officially announced a date.
