Grand Theft Auto VI isn’t announced for PC. Rockstar lists it only for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, launching November 19, 2026, and Take-Two’s latest earnings release lists the same two platforms.
There’s no Steam page, no PC system requirements and no PC date. Here is what we do know.
What Is Actually Announced
- Rockstar’s GTA VI page: PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only.
- Take-Two’s release schedule: its August earnings release lists GTA VI for “PS5, Xbox Series X|S”.
- Steam: searching the Steam store returns no GTA VI page.
- Microsoft Store: the game is sold for Xbox Series X|S only, with no Windows version.
Any PC system requirements you see are made up; neither Rockstar nor Take-Two has published any.
The Reported Q1 2027 PC Window
On October 13, 2026, GamesBeat reported that a PC version of GTA 6 is targeting the first quarter of 2027, which would mean January to March 2027. The report cites four unnamed industry sources familiar with Rockstar’s plans, and at least seven outlets have repeated it since.
Treat it as a report, not an announcement:
- Rockstar hasn’t confirmed it. GamesBeat said Rockstar didn’t respond to a request for comment before it published.
- Take-Two hasn’t confirmed it either. Its latest earnings release still lists PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only.
- There’s still no store page. A search of the Steam store on October 14 returned no GTA VI listing, and no PC requirements have appeared.
If it’s accurate, the wait would be far shorter than for Rockstar’s last two games (see below). If you only play on PC, the sensible move is to wait for Rockstar to announce a PC version itself, with a date and system requirements, before you buy hardware or make plans around it. We’ll update this guide the moment Rockstar or Take-Two says anything official.
The Controller That Confuses Everyone
Sony’s official GTA VI DualSense controllers are listed “for PS5, PC, Mac and Mobile”. That line describes where the controller works, not the game. It isn’t a sign of a PC version.
What Rockstar’s History Suggests
Rockstar has launched its recent big games on consoles first and brought them to PC later:
- GTA 5 launched on PS3 and Xbox 360 on September 17, 2013, and reached PC on April 14, 2015, about 19 months later.
- Red Dead Redemption 2 launched on PS4 and Xbox One on October 26, 2018, and reached PC on November 5, 2019, just over a year later.
That pattern doesn’t guarantee anything for GTA 6, but it’s why most PC players expect to wait. Take-Two’s CEO Strauss Zelnick said at the company’s annual shareholder meeting in September that PC is “becoming more and more important” to the company, according to reports of the webcast, but he didn’t announce a GTA 6 PC version.
Your Options if You Only Have a PC
- Wait. Nothing is announced, so any PC date you see, including the reported early 2027 window, is unconfirmed.
- Stream from a console you own. Sony’s PS Remote Play app and the Xbox app on Windows both let you stream your own console to a PC, and Rockstar says the game supports Remote Play on PlayStation and Xbox. That requires owning a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S and a copy of the game.
- Don’t count on cloud streaming to a PC. GTA 6 is coming to Xbox Cloud Gaming, but Rockstar’s November 10 pre-load post and Xbox Wire name only Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles for it, not PCs. It also isn’t included in Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus, so you would still have to buy it. Our Game Pass and PS Plus guide has the details.
- Play Rockstar’s PC catalog. GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 are both on PC, and our GTA 5 mods and Red Dead Redemption 2 mods lists are the best way to get more out of them while you wait.
If You’re Buying a Console for It
GTA 6 runs on PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, and our 60fps guide covers Rockstar’s 30fps target on them. It isn’t coming to PS4 or Switch 2, and Xbox One owners can only stream it, as our console guide explains, and our editions guide compares what to buy. Every guide is on our GTA hub.
