GTA BOOM (Jun 3, 2026) - May 5, 2026
In a Bloomberg interview recorded the week before at a conference in Las Vegas, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said Rockstar has historically released on console first to serve its core audience, with PC versions following later. He denied that skipping PC at launch came from the PlayStation marketing deal. He also said PC can now account for roughly 45 to 50% of sales for a big title. He gave no date for a GTA 6 PC version.

How long Rockstar made PC players wait before
Months between the first console release and the PC release. Past gaps are a hint, not a promise.
Outlier: Red Dead Redemption took about 14 years to reach PC. About 14.5 years. Released with Undead Nightmare and ported with Double Eleven. It's an outlier, not a pattern: for a long time Rockstar did not release this game on PC at all. Take-Two Interactive / Business Wire (May 18, 2010) · Take-Two Interactive (Oct 29, 2024)
Estimates (not official)
- Unconfirmed report October 13, 2026
GamesBeat: Reported that Rockstar plans to release GTA VI on PC in the first quarter of 2027 (January to March), and that the PC version must meet the same quality bar as the console version. This is an unconfirmed report from anonymous sources, not an announcement. Rockstar did not comment.
GamesBeat (Oct 13, 2026) · PC Games Hardware (Oct 13, 2026) - Analyst estimate October 27, 2026
Michael Pachter (Wedbush): Said a PC version will come and guessed it would arrive about six to seven months after the console launch, which would mean around mid-2027. This is an analyst's estimate.
GTA BOOM (Oct 27, 2026) - Press estimate October 14, 2026
PCWorld / PC-WELT: In September 2026 the outlet's own estimate was late 2027 or early 2028, based on past Rockstar gaps. After the GamesBeat report, it said that guess may have been too late.

Can you play it on PC through the cloud?
- October 7, 2026
Xbox Chief Strategy Officer Matthew Ball posted on X that GTA 6 comes to Xbox on 19 November but will not be streamed exclusively or to PC. He was responding to a report in The Verge that Xbox Cloud Gaming had exclusive launch streaming rights. So Xbox Cloud Gaming is not a way to play GTA 6 on PC at launch.
PC Games Hardware (Oct 7, 2026) · 80 Level (Oct 7, 2026) - October 28, 2026
Neither Rockstar nor Sony has announced GTA 6 for PlayStation Plus cloud streaming, on PC or anywhere else. Rockstar's official platform list is PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only.

Quick answers
Will GTA 6 be on PC?
Not at launch. Rockstar has announced GTA 6 only for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, out on 19 November 2026. A PC version has not been announced. In May 2026, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said Rockstar usually releases on console first and brings PC versions later. Every recent Rockstar game has eventually reached PC, but for GTA 6 there is no official confirmation yet.
What is the GTA 6 PC release date?
There is none. Rockstar and Take-Two have not announced a PC date. In October 2026, GamesBeat reported, citing anonymous sources, that a PC version is planned for January to March 2027, and analyst Michael Pachter guessed about six to seven months after launch. Both are unconfirmed estimates.
How long has Rockstar usually made PC players wait?
It varies. GTA IV reached PC about 7 months after consoles (April to December 2008). Red Dead Redemption 2 took about 12 months (October 2018 to November 2019). GTA V took about 19 months (September 2013 to April 2015). The first Red Dead Redemption took more than 14 years and only reached PC in October 2024. Past gaps hint at a likely window but don't predict GTA 6's date.
Can I play GTA 6 on PC through cloud gaming?
Not officially. In October 2026, Xbox's Chief Strategy Officer said GTA 6 will not be streamed to PC, after a report suggested Xbox Cloud Gaming would carry it. No PlayStation Plus streaming option has been announced either. Without a PC version, there is no official way to play GTA 6 on a PC at launch.
What are the GTA 6 PC system requirements?
There are none yet. Rockstar hasn't announced a PC version, so it hasn't published requirements. Any spec list you see online is a guess.
Why isn't GTA 6 launching on PC at the same time?
Take-Two's CEO said in May 2026 that Rockstar puts console players, its core audience, first, and that PC versions traditionally come later. He denied that the PlayStation marketing deal was the reason. Rockstar has not given any other official explanation.
