But according to the CEO of Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead, there are two very good reasons why developers shouldn\u2019t be too worried.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Speaking to IGN, Arrowhead boss Shams Jorjani said that the lack of a PC version of GTA 6 at launch, as well as the absence of whatever the next generation of GTA Online looks like, means there\u2019s reason to believe games like Helldivers 2 retain their own space.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cRockstar makes ridiculous, high-effort stuff and it&#8217;s awesome that games like this get made,\u201d Jorjani said. \u201cOn a selfish level I&#8217;m happy it\u2019s not hitting PC right away, and that online isn\u2019t dropping at launch. It means Helldivers 2 gets to keep crushing it in our own space, and is also why it won\u2019t be the all consuming behemoth everyone\u2019s worried about.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Every Detail in the GTA 6 Cover Art Explained<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Now, we know it\u2019s not a lot to go on, but there\u2019s a surprising amount of detail hidden within that newly revealed GTA 6 cover art.

But Rockstar has the brand power to confidently take their time and run their classic play. They have the confidence and freedom to spend a decade doing things the old-school way because they know the core game will deliver. It\u2019s going to raise the bar for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Of course, Helldivers 2 is also out on console (it\u2019s a PlayStation Studios game and Sony owns the Helldivers IP), but the explosive co-op action game is particularly strong on Steam, where it retains a loyal and sizeable audience of fans even now, two-and-a-half years after launch.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">You\u2019d image that the launch of GTA 6 will have an impact on even PC games, but perhaps long-running Steam games that revolve around online play will prove more resilient than others. Let&#8217;s remember: GTA 6 is a single-player game at launch. There&#8217;s no online mode at all this November.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">GTA 6 is also set for launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S only, which in 2026 feels like an odd release strategy but is in keeping with Rockstar\u2019s playbook. Jorjani touches on this in his comment \u2014 Rockstar is perhaps one of the few video game developers around that can guarantee success even skipping PC. GTA 6 is just that big of a deal. There\u2019s nothing like it.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Be sure to check out IGN\u2019s GTA 6 official gameplay reveal live blog, where we\u2019ll bring you all the news across the internet on today\u2019s Netflix exclusive and beyond.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Wesley is Director, News at IGN.
