When is GTA 6 on PC going to happen is probably the biggest question on most gamers' minds right now. After all, GTA 5's massive modding community is PC-first; however, Rockstar's been pretty secretive when it comes to announcing when its new title will be off the console-only train. GTA 6 is set to launch on November 19, 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series X. No firm window for PC has been given just yet, but thanks to observations from previous releases, we can start to analyze when we'll likely learn more. And that is exactly what we have done down below. So, read on to find out everything that you need to know about when GTA 6 will be heading to PC.

If you want to get prepared, then we've also broken down all of the GTA 6 weapons and GTA 6 cars identified so far, along with the GTA 6 locations you can visit and what is currently known about the GTA 6 map.

Look, we all know that GTA 6 is the hottest ticket in town, so it will definitely be coming to PC in the future. There's no way that Rockstar wouldn't tap into that market, especially given the massive investment of both time and money to get to the finished product. However, as we've seen with previous releases, there is always a notable gap between the initial console launch and arrival on PC, so let's dig into the history and see what we can learn from it.

When do we expect the GTA 6 PC release date to be?

Based on previous releases, it's unlikely the GTA 6 will release on PC before November 2027, and it could get pushed back into 2028. It's also likely that Rockstar will keep completely quiet about it until a while after the console release, as they have done with previous games.

To give that some context, GTA 4 came out on PC a little over 7 months after consoles, and while GTA 5 was originally due launch for PC alongside the PS4 and Xbox One enhanced versions 14 months after the original release, delays meant it was 19 months before GTA 5 arrived on PC. More recently, there was a 13 month delay between Red Dead Redemption 2 arriving on consoles and making the leap to PC.

  • GTA 6 Ultimate Edition screenshot GTA 6 isn't coming to PC at launch, but not because Rockstar doesn't "care about PC," says GTA 5 dev

The PC version of GTA 5 was announced at E3 2014, some 9 months after initial release, while Rockstar waited the best part of a year before confirming Red Dead Redemption 2 was heading to PC. So, while it is an inevitability, don't expect to hear anything official about GTA 6 on PC until at least 2027.
