GTA 6 PC release planned for early 2027, report claims, which could mean we're playing in time for GTA Online 2: Vice City 4 U or whatever they call it
Well, that's happening quicker than I'd anticipated. This is both what the actress said to the bishop and my immediate reaction to a report which claims GTA 6 is planned to release on PC in the opening months of 2027. That'd put it a scant matter of months behind the initial release for console on November 19th, but far less than the year or so folks like me had assumed based on how Rockstar…
Rockstar is reportedly planning to release Grand Theft Auto 6 on PC in the early months of 2027, according to a report from GamesBeat. The anticipated release window is the first three months of 2027, with the game potentially hitting the market by the end of March. This timeline is significantly shorter than the one-year gap between GTA 5's console and PC releases, but still later than initially expected.
The report cites four industry sources who claim to have inside knowledge of Rockstar's release plans. If accurate, the PC release could enable the game to take advantage of cloud streaming technology, as previously seen with GTA Online on PC. Rockstar's decision to launch the PC port in this period could be an attempt to generate revenue from the game's anticipated GTA Online component, a significant moneymaker for the studio.
The move would also allow Rockstar to capitalize on the growing importance of the PC gaming market, as noted by Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick. Despite the report's claims, Rockstar has not officially confirmed the release date. However, the anticipated PC release has sparked speculation about the game's multiplayer component, with Twitch CEO Dan Clancy suggesting a GTA Online launch for 2027.
