What happened

According to PC Gamer, a report by GamesBeat claims that Grand Theft Auto 6 may be released on PC sooner than expected, potentially within the first three months of 2027. This would mean the game would be available on PC just a few months after its initial release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles, which is set for November 19, 2026. The report cites four anonymous industry sources familiar with Rockstar's plans. However, Rockstar has not commented on the claim, and PC Gamer advises caution, suggesting that the gap between console and PC releases is typically longer.

Why it matters for GTA 6 players

A potential PC release of Grand Theft Auto 6 just a few months after the console release could impact sales, as some players may choose to wait for the PC version rather than purchasing the game on console.

What remains unclear

The accuracy of the reported release window and whether Rockstar will confirm the PC release date in the near future, such as during Take-Two's next quarterly financial report on November 9.
