Is GTA 6 on PC? Release Date and What Rockstar Has Said

Grand Theft Auto VI has no PC version on sale. Take-Two Interactive’s own release lineup, updated on November 9, 2026, lists Grand Theft Auto VI for “PS5, Xbox Series X|S” with a November 19 launch. No PC release date, price or system requirements have been published. A GamesBeat report says Rockstar plans a PC version in the first quarter of 2027, and Rockstar has not confirmed it.

A PC version is a build you download and run on a Windows PC, and PC players do not have a confirmed way to play GTA 6 on launch day.

• Console launch: November 19 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Standard Edition is $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition is $99.99, according to Take-Two’s June 2026 pre-order announcement.
• PC launch: nothing official. The date, the price and the system requirements are all unannounced.
• The reported plan: a first-quarter 2027 PC release, from four unnamed industry sources cited by GamesBeat, which Rockstar did not answer.

What Take-Two’s own lineup says

Take-Two published its second-quarter fiscal 2027 results on November 9. Its “future lineup announced to date” table lists one Rockstar title: Grand Theft Auto VI, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, dated November 19. No PC release appears in that table, and no PC version is mentioned anywhere else in the results.

In the same document, chief executive Strauss Zelnick said the launch is ten days away and that pre-orders keep reaching unprecedented levels. Take-Two also reiterated its fiscal 2027 outlook of $8 to $8.2 billion. That figure is the company’s net bookings measure, which counts what it sold in a period instead of its reported revenue, and it is the number Take-Two guides on.

A confirmed PC version would show up in that lineup table, the same way Take-Two lists PC for other titles such as NBA 2K27. It does not.

What has been reported about a PC release

On October 13, 2026, GamesBeat reported that Rockstar plans to release GTA 6 on PC in the first quarter of 2027. It cited four industry sources familiar with the studio’s plans, all of whom asked not to be named. Eurogamer carried the report and quoted GamesBeat directly, and noted that a Rockstar Games representative did not respond to a request for comment. We wrote the story up on October 13.

Take-Two’s chief executive had already set the pattern earlier in 2026. He said the company “tends not to ‘go across all platforms simultaneously'” while acknowledging demand on PC, according to Eurogamer.

That report is the only PC plan on record, and no date has been announced since it ran.

When past Rockstar games reached PC

Eurogamer’s October 2026 report is the source for both dates. GTA 5 was originally aiming for a simultaneous PC release and was pushed back, while Red Dead Redemption 2 came to PC more than a year after its console launch. Both ports landed after the console version, and that is the order a GTA 6 PC release would probably follow too.

What a PC version would still need

• System requirements: not published. The 212GB storage figure in PlayStation’s November 3 post, which our pre-load story covers, is the PlayStation 5 requirement, not a PC one.
• Price: not published. The console prices are $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition.
• Store details: not published. Take-Two’s announced lineup and its official pre-order announcement both describe a console-only launch.

What to do if you only play on PC

• Buy on console now. Pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026 at midnight local time. Every pre-order or purchase made before November 20, 2026 includes the Vintage Vice City Pack, and digital pre-orders also include a free month of GTA+. GTA+ is Rockstar’s paid membership for GTA Online, and the free month came with every digital pre-order. Our GTA 6 pre-launch checklist covers what to set up before launch day.
• Wait for a PC version. If the reported first-quarter 2027 window holds, Eurogamer worked out that it would mean two to five months of console exclusivity. Nothing official supports the date, so treat it as a plan, not a schedule.
• Play the older games on PC in the meantime. Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 are both on PC, and our GTA 6 hub tracks every page we have on the series.

Common questions

Will GTA 6 come to PC?

Unconfirmed. The only PC date on record is the GamesBeat report of a first-quarter 2027 release, and Take-Two’s own November 9 lineup lists the game for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only.

Can you play GTA 6 on PC on launch day?

No. There is no PC build on sale, no PC release date and no PC pre-order. Take-Two’s June 2026 announcement names only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and the pre-download that starts November 10 is a console feature. Our GTA 6 release time page has the unlock hours for the console versions.

Will GTA 6 be on Steam?

Nobody has said. Rockstar has not published PC store information of any kind, and Steam is not mentioned in the launch announcement, the pre-order announcement or Take-Two’s results.

Can you play GTA 6 on both PS5 and Xbox?

Yes, and our cross-platform explainer covers how progression and crossplay work between the two console versions.

We compared Take-Two’s published lineup table with the reported first-quarter 2027 window and the two console-to-PC dates in the table above. Grand Theft Auto V took 19 months to reach PC and Red Dead Redemption 2 took more than a year, while the reported window would put GTA 6 on PC within five months of the console launch. That would be a shorter gap than either of Rockstar’s last two PC ports, based on the two releases we can verify.

Where that leaves PC players

Grand Theft Auto VI launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, and the publisher’s own lineup published on November 9 lists no PC release. The only PC date in circulation is a first-quarter 2027 report that Rockstar has not confirmed, so PC players are choosing between buying on console now and waiting on a plan nobody has put in writing.
