When will GTA 6 launch on PC? We may have good news.

'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.

When will GTA 6 launch on PC? We may have good news.

Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is set to release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 19, 2026, but PC players must wait for a potential port. While Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive have not officially announced a PC release date, a report from gaming website Gamesbeat suggests a possible PC launch in early 2027.

This is sooner than previously expected, given the game's estimated production cost of $1 to $3 billion. Rockstar's history with PC ports indicates that the game may be released later than initially anticipated. Former Rockstar producer John Riccio stated that building for consoles first is technically easier than starting with PC hardware.

Despite the delay, a poll found that 39% of PC players would wait for the port rather than purchase the console version first. However, Xbox has confirmed that GTA 6 will not be streamed on its cloud gaming service at launch, nor will it be available on PC at launch.
