Report: GTA VI PC Version Targets Q1 2027

Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive plan to launch the PC version of Grand Theft Auto VI in the first quarter of 2027, according to a GamesBeat report that cites four anonymous industry sources familiar with the plans.

The game is set to launch on consoles on November 19, 2026. If the reported PC window holds, the gap between the console and PC releases would be roughly two to four months.

The same report states that 2027 is also the target launch window for GTA 6's online multiplayer, according to Twitch CEO Dan Clancy.

Rockstar's PC track record

Rockstar's recent PC releases have arrived well after their console debuts. Grand Theft Auto IV reached PC about seven months after its April 2008 console launch, while L.A. Noire followed roughly six months after its May 2011 console release. The gap widened with Grand Theft Auto V, which launched on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in September 2013 and came to PC in April 2015, around a year and a half later. Red Dead Redemption 2 arrived on PC just over a year after its October 2018 console debut.

In February 2025, Corsair Gaming CEO Andrew Paul told investors he expected Grand Theft Auto VI to drop in early 2026, when the game was still targeting Fall 2025. VGC's Andy Robinson claimed on the VGC podcast that rising console prices were pressuring Rockstar to release the PC version earlier than usual.
