## Key points

- Phantom Vice Auto reaches PC on GTA 6’s console launch day.
- Rockstar’s GTA 6 initially skips PC.
- The small developer’s ambitious claims have attracted scepticism.

## Summary

Turkish developer Brgames Interactive plans to launch its early-access PC game, Phantom Vice Auto, on Steam on 19 November, the same day Rockstar releases Grand Theft Auto 6 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The timing draws attention because GTA 6 will not initially arrive on PC, allowing Phantom Vice Auto to target PC players seeking a similar open-world crime-game experience.

Phantom Vice Auto is being made by a small team reportedly comprising three people and appears to offer driving, shooting, pedestrians and parkour, with promises of three playable protagonists and a 32-player online mode. Its trailer and store-page claims have prompted scepticism about its quality and scope, while the article frames the release as both a potentially opportunistic GTA imitation and an unusually bold attempt to compete with a major industry launch.
