What about PS4, PS5 Pro and PC?

01 · Official statement

PlayStation’s current FAQ explicitly excludes PS4 and names PS5 and PS5 Pro. These are platform-holder listings; this edition has not compared the two supported PlayStation models.

The inspected Rockstar and Xbox listings do not establish a PC release date. This edition therefore lists no PC launch window; an absent date says nothing conclusive about a future version.

02 · Editorial interpretation

Those descriptions explain the advertised PlayStation presentation, but they do not provide a measured frame rate, resolution or loading-time comparison. A PS5 Pro listing is not, by itself, a performance result.

Why do older dates still appear?

01 · Official statement

The announced window was 2025 in December 2023; Take-Two reiterated fall 2025 in February 2025. A May 2, 2025 announcement moved the target to May 26, 2026, and the November announcement replaced that date with November 19. The August 2026 filing kept the November target in place.

02 · Editorial interpretation

A trailer’s release date and the game’s planned launch date answer different questions. Keep the trailer attached to its original announcement, then use the latest dated statement for launch information. This makes older coverage intelligible without treating each target as a competing current answer.
