GTA VI has no confirmed PC release date. Rockstar Games has announced the game for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026. No PC version has been announced, and no PC release window, system requirements, or storefront listings exist. A PC version is widely expected based on Rockstar's history, but it is not confirmed.

Confirmed
Rockstar has only confirmed PS5 and Xbox Series X|S for GTA VI. No PC version, release window, or system requirements have been announced. We will update this page immediately when Rockstar makes any PC announcement.

Why a PC version is expected

Rockstar has brought every major GTA and Red Dead game to PC, typically 12 to 18 months after the console launch:

  • Grand Theft Auto V — Console release: September 2013 (PS3/Xbox 360). PC release: April 2015. Gap: 18 months.
  • Red Dead Redemption 2 — Console release: October 2018 (PS4/Xbox One). PC release: November 2019. Gap: 13 months.
  • Grand Theft Auto IV — Console release: April 2008. PC release: December 2008. Gap: 8 months (earlier generation, smaller game scope).

Based on this pattern, a PC release of GTA VI in late 2027 to early 2028is a reasonable expectation — but it remains speculation until Rockstar announces it.

When would a PC announcement come?

Rockstar has not announced a timeline for PC news. For reference, Rockstar announced the PC version of GTA V in January 2015, about three months before its April 2015 release. Red Dead Redemption 2's PC version was announced in October 2019, about one month before its November 2019 release. If GTA VI follows a similar pattern, a PC announcement could come relatively close to the PC release date — likely a few months before, not years.

System requirements

Rockstar has not released system requirements for GTA VI on any platform, including PC. Any system requirements circulating online are speculative and should be treated as such. The PS5 and Xbox Series X|S specifications give a rough indication of the hardware target: a custom Zen 2 CPU, RDNA 2-class GPU, 16 GB of memory, and an NVMe SSD. A PC version would likely target similar or slightly higher specifications, but no official minimum or recommended specs exist.

Unconfirmed
Any PC release date, system requirement, storefront listing, or pricing for GTA VI is speculative unless Rockstar has published it officially. We strongly recommend ignoring "leaked" PC details and waiting for Rockstar's official announcement.

Should you wait for PC or buy on console?

This is the most common question about GTA VI on PC. Here is an honest breakdown:

  • Buy a console if: You want to play GTA VI at launch on November 19, 2026. The PS5 Slim starts at $449.99 and Xbox Series S at $299.99. Our console buying guide compares every model.
  • Wait for PC if: You do not own a current-gen console, prefer PC gaming, and are comfortable waiting at least 12-18 months past the console launch. PC versions typically offer higher frame rates, ultrawide support, and modding capabilities.
  • Middle ground: Buy a PS5 or Xbox for launch, then buy the PC version later when it releases. Your console purchase serves for the first year or more of GTA VI before a potential PC port.

Frequently asked questions

Is GTA 6 coming to PC?
Rockstar has not announced a PC version of GTA VI. The confirmed platforms are PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. A PC version is widely expected based on Rockstar's history, but no official announcement has been made.
When is the GTA 6 PC release date?
Rockstar has not announced a PC release date for GTA VI. The console version launches November 19, 2026. Historically, Rockstar releases PC versions 12-18 months after console: GTA V arrived on PC 18 months after console, and Red Dead Redemption 2 arrived 13 months later. A PC release in late 2027 or early 2028 is plausible but entirely speculative.
Will GTA 6 release on PC at the same time as console?
Rockstar has not announced any PC version, let alone a simultaneous release. No Rockstar game in the GTA or Red Dead series has launched simultaneously on console and PC. A simultaneous release would be unprecedented for the company.
What are the GTA 6 PC system requirements?
Rockstar has not released system requirements for GTA VI since no PC version has been announced. Any system requirements circulating online are speculative and should not be treated as reliable.
Will GTA 6 be on Steam?
Rockstar has not announced a PC version, so no storefront has been confirmed. Historically, Rockstar games are released on the Rockstar Games Launcher and later on Steam and Epic Games Store. GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 both followed this pattern.
How much will GTA 6 cost on PC?
Rockstar has not announced pricing for any version of GTA VI. Console pricing is expected to follow standard AAA pricing ($69.99-$79.99). PC pricing would be announced alongside a PC version, likely at a similar price point.
Is GTA 6 PC crossplay with consoles?
Rockstar has not announced crossplay for any platform combination. Crossplay between PC and consoles would depend on both a PC version being announced and crossplay features being implemented. See our crossplay page for the full status.
Should I wait for the PC version or buy on console?
If you want to play GTA VI at launch, buy a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S. The PC version has no announced date and historically arrives 12-18 months after console. If you can wait and prefer PC, the wait is likely a year or more. Our console buying guide can help you decide which system to buy.
