What's confirmed
- Platforms at launch: PS5 (including a PS5 Pro Enhanced version) and Xbox Series X|S. Confirmed by Rockstar
- PC version: Not yet confirmed. Rockstar's GTA VI site and support pages name consoles only
- PC release date: Not yet confirmed
- PC system requirements: Not yet confirmed
- Streaming to PC through Xbox Cloud Gaming: no. Xbox's chief strategy officer Matthew Ball said on 7 October 2026 that GTA 6 won't be playable on PC that way, and that Microsoft doesn't hold exclusive streaming rights to it
What Take-Two has said
Take-Two (Rockstar's parent company) has been careful not to commit. On its May 2026 earnings call, CEO Strauss Zelnick said the PC market is "a great market" and that "virtually all of our hit titles end up on all [platforms] over time", before adding that Rockstar "has announced GTA 6 for console only so far."
At the company's annual shareholder meeting in September, he again called PC "more and more important" to the business without confirming a GTA 6 PC version or a date.
That's a long way from an announcement, but it's consistent with Rockstar's history of releasing on consoles first.
The Q1 2027 report
Rumour On 13 October 2026 GamesBeat reported that GTA 6 will reach PC "within the first three months of 2027", citing four anonymous industry sources familiar with Rockstar's plans. The Verge and Polygon reported it too. Rockstar hasn't commented.
We'll treat it as unconfirmed until Rockstar announces something. If it's right, PC players would wait about four months, which is much shorter than for Rockstar's last two games.
How long Rockstar's PC waits have been
| Game | Consoles | PC | Wait |
|---|---|---|---|
| GTA 5 | Sept 2013 | April 2015 | About 19 months |
| Red Dead Redemption 2 | Oct 2018 | Nov 2019 | About 13 months |
| GTA 6 | 19 Nov 2026 | Not yet confirmed | – |
Want to play GTA 6 at launch?
You'll need a PS5, PS5 Pro or Xbox Series X|S. We've compared them in GTA 6 on PS5 vs PS5 Pro vs Xbox, and the PS5 Pro guide covers whether the Pro is worth it. There's no way to play it on PC at launch, including through cloud streaming.
Watch out for fake "PC downloads". There's no PC version, so any site offering a GTA 6 PC download, beta or "early access" build is a scam and may carry malware.
