Update from November 3, 2026: We have added speculation about possible platforms.

When is GTA 6 coming to PC?

So far, there is no exact release date for the PC version. It is currently impossible to assess when it might be available.

According to insider reports (via Gamesbeat.com), GTA 6 is expected to be released on PC as early as spring 2027. However, this has not yet been confirmed.

However, it is possible that there could be several months or even over a year of waiting. When GTA 5 was released, players had to wait approximately 19 months before they could play the game on PC after the console release.

So unfortunately, you’ll have to be patient, and we’ll let you know as soon as more information becomes available.

On which platforms will GTA 6 be available on PC?

It is possible that GTA 6 will first be released for the Rockstar Launcher, as was the case with Red Dead Redemption 2. However, it is very likely that it will eventually also be available for the Epic Games Launcher and Steam. Whether it will be released simultaneously for all platforms or staggered is currently unclear.

Why is the PC version coming later?

As Strauss Zelnick, the head of GTA 6, explained in an interview, there will be a PC version; however, the developers want to cater to the core players first, and those are the console fans on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Who should wait?

According to reports, GTA 6 is currently running on PS5 and PS5 Pro at 30 frames per second and it is currently unclear whether 60 FPS can be achieved. The latter seems unlikely until launch. A PC is much more likely to achieve this performance (if it has the right hardware).

If that is very important to you and you own such a PC, it might be worth the wait. Especially if high FPS and the best possible performance with beautiful graphics are important to you, it might at least be sensible to hold off for now and wait for new information about a PC release to come soon.
