GTA 6 PC Release Date: Report Points to Q1 2027, Weeks After Consoles

Shoaib Nasir – Published October 14, 2026 – Updated October 14, 2026 – 3 min read Share Facebook WhatsApp Pinterest Twitter Rockstar Games may bring GTA 6 to PC in the first three months of 2027. That word comes from a new report by GamesBeat, published October 13.

GamesBeat says it spoke to four people with knowledge of Rockstar’s plans. None of them were named in the report.

The report says the PC version could arrive between January and March 2027. Rockstar has not confirmed this. The company did not respond to GamesBeat’s request for comment.

GTA 6 launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026. Rockstar has confirmed this date. No PC version is planned for launch day.

If the Q1 2027 report is correct, PC players would wait about six weeks at the earliest. If the PC version lands in late March, the wait would be a little over four months.

Rockstar has made PC players wait before. Here is how long past games took to reach PC after their console debut:

If the new report is right, GTA 6 would reach PC faster than any past Rockstar open-world game.

Rockstar has not announced a PC release, a release date, or PC system requirements.

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has said the company does not usually launch games on all platforms at the same time, according to Sunday Guardian Live.

Twitch CEO Dan Clancy said he expects a big jump in viewers at launch. He also said he expects “an even bigger one next year when they launch multiplayer,” per the same report.

Take-Two’s next earnings call is set for November 9, 2026. Reports say this call could bring more clarity on PC plans.

PC players made up a large share of the GTA 5 audience. Analysis from Forbes puts it at about 42% on PC, 35% on PlayStation, and 23% on Xbox.

A PC version also matters to Rockstar’s roleplaying community. GTA 5 has a large PC roleplaying scene, built on mods and custom servers.

Rockstar bought Cfx.re, the studio behind the FiveM and RedM mod platforms, in 2023. It is not yet confirmed if GTA 6 will support this kind of mod platform.

Rockstar has not announced a release date for GTA 6 Online.

For comparison, GTA Online launched two weeks after GTA 5, in October 2013. It reached PC on the same day as the GTA 5 PC launch, in April 2015.

The Q1 2027 PC window is still just a report. Rockstar has not confirmed it.

Fans may get clearer answers around the Take-Two earnings call on November 9, or closer to the console launch on November 19.
