When will GTA 6 launch on PC? What we know so far.
'Grand Theft Auto 6' will skip PC at launch. Here's what we know about the console-only release, Rockstar's port history, and fan reaction.
GTA VI will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 19, 2026, but PC gamers won't be getting their hands on the game until much later. Rockstar has confirmed that the console-only launch is not due to a lack of interest in PC, but rather a strategic decision. While PC gamers may have to wait until at least 2027 for a port, the reasoning behind the delay is not entirely clear.
Industry factors such as standardized console hardware and higher per-unit revenue on consoles could be contributing to the decision. Some speculate that Take-Two may be double-dipping, hoping fans will purchase the console version first and then the PC version later. However, a former Rockstar producer, John Ricchio, stated that it's easier for developers to start with console hardware and then optimize for PC later. Given Rockstar's history of delaying PC releases, a GTA VI port could be a year or more away.
