GTA 6 on PC: when is it coming out and what do we know?
GTA 6 has no announced PC version. Here's what Take-Two has said, how long GTA IV and GTA V took to reach PC, and the rumors going around.
The short answer: GTA 6 has no announced PC version. On November 19 it launches only on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and there’s no Steam or Epic Games Store page.
What Take-Two has said
When asked directly, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has been cautious: he points out that Rockstar has only announced the game for consoles, while adding that the company’s big games usually end up on every platform. In other words, PC will almost certainly come, but with no date.
How long previous GTA games took
| Game | Console | PC | Wait |
|---|---|---|---|
| GTA IV | April 2008 | December 2008 | About 7 months |
| GTA V | September 2013 | April 2015 | About 19 months |
Rockstar usually launches on console first and brings the PC version later, with graphics and performance upgrades. Red Dead Redemption 2 followed the same pattern: October 2018 on console, November 2019 on PC.
Release date rumors
Rumor: some former Rockstar developers point to early 2027, specifically February, to line up with the end of Take-Two’s fiscal year. This is not an official date. An earlier prediction by Corsair’s CEO, who suggested early 2026, turned out to be pure speculation.
Beware of “PC downloads”
Since there is no PC version, any website offering GTA 6 for PC is a scam or contains malware. We explain more in pre-load and fake downloads.
Meanwhile, PC players have one option: Xbox Cloud Gaming streams the game to devices with a browser if you have the right Game Pass plan and own the game. Details in GTA 6 performance by console.
We’ll update this article as soon as Rockstar announces the PC version.
