Rockstar hasn’t announced GTA 6 for PC. Plans move, so this is accurate as of Oct 16 2026, and any date I give for PC is a guess.

Confirmed

Console launch (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nov 19 2026). These are the only platforms Rockstar lists, and the official site doesn’t mention PC.

PC release (TBA). There’s no announcement, no window and no system requirements.

What Take-Two has said

Console first (Bloomberg interview, May). CEO Strauss Zelnick said Rockstar always starts on console to serve its core audience. He denied that Sony’s marketing deal is the reason.

PC matters (shareholder meeting, Sept 17). Zelnick said Take-Two releases games on platforms with a meaningful audience, and that PC is becoming more important to the company. He was speaking in general terms, not about GTA 6.

What history suggests

GTA V (PC, about a year and a half after consoles). The console version came out in 2013, and PC followed in 2015.

Red Dead Redemption 2 (PC, about a year after consoles). That’s Rockstar’s fastest recent gap.

Count forward from Nov 2026 and you land between late 2027 and mid 2028. That’s an inference, not a promise.

Rumor

Q1 2027 PC launch (TBA). One report claims PC could arrive two to four months after consoles, citing four unnamed industry sources. Rockstar and Take-Two haven’t commented, so treat it as unconfirmed.

A note for a computer from 2017

My computer from 2017 can’t run new games, so a PC version only matters to me once it exists and I can afford the hardware. Until then I’ll keep playing older Vice City stuff.

Would you buy it on console to skip the wait, or hold out for PC?
