It’s THE question for PC players: is GTA 6 coming to PC? Here’s the clear answer, separating what’s official from what’s an estimate.
No PC version at launch (official)
GTA 6 releases November 19, 2026 on consoles only: PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S. That’s confirmed by Rockstar. As of June 25, 2026:
- No PC date announced
- No PC store mentioned (Steam, Epic, Rockstar Launcher)
- No official system requirements
Why Rockstar is skipping PC at first
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick publicly owned a “console-first” strategy: console players are the core audience. He also denied any PlayStation exclusivity deal.
Above all it’s consistent with Rockstar’s habits: the publisher has never released a mainline GTA on PC the same day as consoles. So it’s not a bad sign — just the usual method.
When will the PC version release? (estimates)
⚠️ No official date. Here’s what’s reasonable based on history:
- GTA V: consoles in 2013, PC in 2015 (~18 months later).
- Red Dead Redemption 2: consoles in 2018, PC in 2019 (~12 months later).
➡️ The most cited window for GTA 6 PC is therefore late 2027 (~12 to 18 months after consoles). Nothing is confirmed.
Rumors to take with a grain of salt
- A delay to 2028 scenario if the PlayStation 6 launches early — pure speculation.
- A leak claiming a February 2027 PC release — a source considered unreliable.
What to do meanwhile if you’re a PC player
- Want to play on November 19, 2026 → you’ll need a PS5 / PS5 Pro or an Xbox Series X|S.
- Prefer to wait for PC → hold out for the official announcement (likely sometime in 2027). We update this page as soon as Rockstar speaks.
For the rest: release date · where to pre-order · editions comparison. Everything on the GTA 6 hub.
