GTA 6 on PC: is it coming, and when?
GTA 6 launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only — a PC version has not been announced. Here's what's confirmed, and when a PC port is realistic based on Rockstar's history.
What's confirmed
GTA 6 releases on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar has not announced a PC version, a PC release date, or PC system requirements — there is nothing official to pre-order or wishlist on PC yet. Any 'GTA 6 PC release date' circulating now is speculation.

When to expect the PC version
Rockstar ships console-first, PC later. GTA 5 reached PC about 18 months after consoles (September 2013 → April 2015), and Red Dead Redemption 2 about 13 months later (October 2018 → November 2019). If GTA 6 follows the same pattern, a PC port would arrive roughly 12–18 months after the November 2026 launch — late 2027 into 2028. That is our estimate from Rockstar's track record, not an announcement.

Frequently asked questions
Is GTA 6 confirmed for PC?
No. Rockstar has announced GTA 6 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only. There is no PC version, no date, no requirements and nothing to pre-order or wishlist on PC.
When is GTA 6 likely to hit PC?
Our estimate says roughly 12 to 18 months after consoles — late 2027 into 2028. GTA 5 took about 18 months to reach PC and Red Dead Redemption 2 about 13; that's a pattern, not a promise.
Will GTA 6 be on Steam?
Unannounced, but the precedent is good: GTA 5 launched on Steam on day one of its PC release, and Red Dead Redemption 2 reached Steam about a month after its PC debut. A Steam release at or shortly after the PC launch would fit Rockstar's pattern.
Should I wait for the PC version or get a console?
If history repeats, waiting means a year or more. A PS5 or Series X gets you playing on November 19, 2026; holding out for PC buys better hardware and mods later, at the price of a long wait and dodging spoilers the whole time.
