Oct 16, 2026 · opinion · By SixStarsWantedOpinion: it is 2026, and PC players are still being sent to the GTA 6 waiting room
GTA 6 launches November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and PC players get nothing but a rumour about early 2027. Rockstar has made PC wait for every big launch since 2001. My take: in 2026 that habit is a business choice dressed up as tradition, and it has aged badly.
