  "account": "Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) is set to launch on PC in Q1 2027, according to a new report from GamesBeat. The publication cites four anonymous industry sources, who have confirmed Rockstar's plans to release the PC version in the first three months of the year. The PC version will enjoy a two-to-five month window of console exclusivity, launching alongside the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 19th. Rockstar has not officially confirmed this release date, but the timing aligns with similar delays for GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 between console and PC releases. CyberLeek, a known leaker, has threatened to release a playable build of the game, prompting Rockstar to issue a statement and subpoena Discord. The delay between console and PC releases has been noted before, with Rockstar's Strauss Zelnick acknowledging the demand for GTA 6 on non-console platforms. Twitch CEO Dan Clancy mentioned that GTA Online, set to release in 2027, will likely boost sales for GTA 6. Rockstar Games and the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) are currently in a final tribunal hearing related to the sudden termination of 31 Rockstar North employees last year, suspected to be part of a union-busting effort by the company.",
