GTA 6 could come to PC as early as Q1 2027, leak claims

Grand Theft Auto VI, colloquially known as GTA 6, is set to launch exclusively for consoles on November 19. However, a fresh report from GamesBeat suggests that PC gamers could potentially receive the game as early as Q1 2027. Presently, console versions for Xbox Series X|S and PS5 will be released in roughly a month, leaving PC enthusiasts to ponder whether investing in a new console would be worthwhile.

According to the source, PC gamers have experienced considerable anxiety over a possible delay, as GTA V was launched on consoles a year and a half before the PC version. Rockstar Games waited until April 2015 to release GTA V for PCs, after it debuted on consoles in September 2013. While it remains unconfirmed, insiders familiar with Rockstar Games' plans have disclosed this information anonymously.

It is plausible that Rockstar Games aims to maximize its revenue by offering GTA 6 to a broader audience by including PC gamers. The game is estimated to have cost around $2 billion to develop, and tapping into the PC market would likely provide a quicker return on investment. Additionally, the online version of GTA 6 is projected to launch in 2027, further emphasizing the importance of a PC release.

Although the console version of GTA 6 is anticipated to operate at 30 FPS upon release, PC gamers may appreciate the enhanced performance and customization options that the platform offers. The development process for GTA 6 has been challenging, with the game currently under the control of Cyberleek, an individual who has previously leaked game footage and threatened to release the entire game if their demands are not met.

These demands reportedly include achieving a $30 million valuation for their memecoin, possibly indicating their true intentions.
