The PC version of Grand Theft Auto 6 is reportedly set to launch in early 2027, according to a new report from GamesBeat. Four industry sources familiar with Rockstar Games' plans have claimed this information, but fans believe the studio may have accelerated the release date to avoid potential conflicts with a PS5 emulator. Some speculate the emulator would allow PC owners to access a PC build of GTA 6 without having to wait for the official version, while others suggest Rockstar is trying to compete against hackers. The report comes as GTA 6 is set to launch on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox users.
