GTA 6 on PC

We keep this page current. Every claim below is marked Confirmed when Rockstar or Take-Two said it, Reported when a named outlet said it, or Our guess. If Rockstar announces a PC version it will be on the Rockstar Newswire first, and this page will change the same day.

What is actually confirmed

Confirmed Rockstar's own GTA 6 page and both console stores list two platforms: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The reveal trailer in December 2023 named the same two. Nothing has been added since. Pre-orders opened June 25, 2026 at 79.99 dollars for the Standard Edition and 99.99 dollars for the Ultimate Edition, console only. The launch guide has the rest.

Confirmed There is no PS4 or Xbox One version either. Why GTA 6 is current-gen only goes through that.

What Take-Two has said

Take-Two owns Rockstar, and its chief executive, Strauss Zelnick, is the only person who has addressed PC on the record. He has never named a date.

Confirmed At the same meeting he described the company's strategy as, over time, launching for any platform with a meaningful audience. He did not say GTA 6 is coming to PC, and he did not say it is not. Read together, the two quotes say what the record already says: consoles first, PC later, no date.

The Q1 2027 report

Reported On October 13, 2026, GamesBeat reported that the PC version of GTA 6 is planned for the first quarter of 2027, citing four industry sources familiar with Rockstar's plans. Rockstar did not respond to its request for comment and has said nothing since. Several outlets repeated the report; none added a source of its own.

Our guess January to March 2027 would be the shortest gap between a console GTA and its PC version since GTA IV in 2008. It is possible: the gap has been shrinking since GTA V, and Zelnick keeps saying PC matters more each year. But a report with unnamed sources is a report. Plan on PC in 2027 if you must plan; do not plan on a month.

Every Rockstar PC version, and how long it took

Rockstar has brought every major game since GTA III to PC. It has never launched one on PC on the same day as consoles, apart from the 2021 Definitive Edition trilogy, which was a re-release. The gap is the only hard evidence anyone has.

Our guess Apply the last two gaps to November 19, 2026 and you get December 2027 (the Red Dead 2 gap) or June 2028 (the GTA V gap). Apply the GTA IV gap and you get June 2027. The reported first quarter of 2027 sits below all of them. Whichever is right, nobody on PC is playing GTA 6 this year.

What the wait bought PC players last time

Confirmed The PC versions have not been straight ports. GTA V on PC arrived with the Rockstar Editor, support for 4K and higher frame rates, and the first-person view that had been added to the PS4 and Xbox One release. Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC added new bounty missions, weapons and horses, and ran at resolutions and frame rates the consoles could not. In March 2025 Rockstar updated GTA V on PC to the enhanced version with ray tracing, free for existing owners. If GTA 6 follows, the PC version will be the most capable one, just not the first.

Beware the "PC pre-order"

Confirmed There is no official GTA 6 PC pre-order, key or store listing anywhere. Any shop, key reseller or auction listing offering one today is selling something that does not exist. When the PC version is announced, it will be sold through the Rockstar Store and the stores Rockstar names, and we will link them here.

If you only play on PC: what to do now

1. Do not buy anything. There is nothing legitimate to buy.
2. Everything else is the same for you. The trailers, the official screenshots, the wiki and the Leonida map are identical on every platform.
3. Decide whether to wait or read. The game will be out for a year or so before you can play it. The spoiler survival guide is written for exactly this.
4. GTA V and GTA Online are on PC today, in the enhanced version since March 2025, if you want Rockstar's current open world while you wait.
5. Follow the Newswire. The announcement, system requirements and store page will appear there first. Our follow page lists the feeds; this page updates the same day.

What to watch, in order

• Nov 9Take-Two reports quarterly results after the US market closes. Analysts usually ask about PC on the call. We will cover the call the same evening.
• Nov 19GTA 6 launches on consoles. Launch day is where Rockstar has sometimes dropped a line about other platforms; it has also said nothing for months.
• Q1 2027The reported window. If Rockstar follows its own pattern, an announcement would come weeks before any date, with system requirements and a store page together.
• Any dayThe Rockstar Newswire. Nothing counts until it is there.
