A former Rockstar technical director thinks the possibility of AI-assisted reverse engineering could push the studio to release GTA VI on PC sooner. Obbe Vermeij told Rock Paper Shotgun that a fan-made port might be good enough for some players, even if it fell short of Rockstar’s own work.
Why it mattersVermeij, who left Rockstar in 2009, was speculating, not announcing a project or a change to the release plan. Ars Technica reports he estimated that reverse engineering a game as complex as GTA VI could cost tens of thousands of dollars in AI tokens. Rockstar has not announced when its PC version will arrive.
Discuss: Could the threat of unofficial AI-assisted ports genuinely change a publisher’s release plans, or is an official version still the only one most players would wait for?
