GTA 6 on PC has no announcement and no date. Grand Theft Auto VI launches on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. That gap fuels a steady stream of “leaked” release windows, so this guide sticks to what Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive have actually put on the record, and marks clearly where an outlet is guessing. The wider fact sheet lives on our GTA 6 hub.
What Rockstar’s own pages say
Rockstar’s official game page shows “Coming November 19, 2026” and lists two platforms: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. It names no PC edition, store or date. The same is true of Rockstar’s pre-order and pre-load announcements, which The Hollywood Reporter and GamesRadar covered: both refer to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only.
What Take-Two has said
Take-Two is the publisher that answers investor questions, so its executives are the only people who have spoken about PC at any length.
- May 21, 2026 earnings call. Take-Two’s table of expected fiscal 2027 releases, which runs from April 2026 to March 2027, lists GTA VI for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only, according to GTA Boom. The site adds that CEO Strauss Zelnick gave no date or commitment for other platforms. A table can change, so this shows the current plan rather than a promise, and the site’s reading that the PC version falls after March 2027 is an inference.
- Bloomberg interview. Zelnick said Rockstar’s priority is its core audience, which has traditionally been on console, and that a release this big is judged first on how well it serves them. He pointed to Rockstar’s pattern of starting on some platforms and moving to others later, and noted that PC now makes up roughly 45 to 50 percent of sales for some Take-Two titles, according to Military.com.
- Annual shareholder meeting. Asked about PC, Zelnick called the platform “more and more important” to Take-Two, but did not name a GTA VI date, as PC Gamer reported. PC Gamer’s own summary is that for now it is “a strict console exclusive”.
- 2025 interview with IGN. Zelnick contrasted Civilization 7, which launched on console and PC together, with other titles: “we don’t always go across all platforms simultaneously. Historically, Rockstar has started with some platforms and then historically moved to other platforms.” TechRadar carried the quote.
Taken together, nobody at Rockstar or Take-Two has said GTA VI will not come to PC. They have also never said when, where, or whether it is even in development. “Eventually” is an implication from past behaviour, not an announcement.
The precedent Zelnick keeps pointing to
Rockstar’s earlier games show the pattern. Grand Theft Auto V reached consoles in 2013 and PC two years later, and Red Dead Redemption 2 stayed off PC for more than a year, as TechRadar recounts. That history is why many outlets expect a gap again, but it is a pattern, not a schedule. Rockstar could behave differently this time and has given no sign either way.
Rumours to treat as unconfirmed
Several outlets have repeated claims about a PC version arriving within a few months of the console launch. DualShockers describes one such claim as “a new rumor” and GamesRadar links to a former series lead speculating that Rockstar might speed up a PC release. Neither claim comes from Rockstar or Take-Two, so we do not treat either as a date.
What this means if you play on PC
- Do not pre-order on a console you do not own just to be safe. Rockstar has no PC store page to point you to yet.
- Treat any site that lists PC system requirements, a Steam page or a launcher date as unreliable. None of those has been published by Rockstar.
- Watch Take-Two’s earnings calls and Rockstar Newswire. Those are the two places a platform announcement would appear first.
