When is GTA 6 coming to PC?
| Claim | Who | Grade |
|---|---|---|
| No PC version at launch | Rockstar store listings and platforms | confirmed |
| PC planned for Q1 2027 | GamesBeat, four unnamed sources (Oct 13, 2026) | reported |
| PC “late 2027” | PCWorld’s own earlier guess, before the GamesBeat report | speculation |
| PC at launch | Long-running fan hope | debunked |
Q1 2027 would mean January to March 2027. Rockstar’s history is to release on PC after consoles, but the gap has varied, and nothing is official. Our PC at launch rumour page tracks the claims over time.
What has Take-Two said about PC?
- Strauss Zelnick has said any disc or PC news “would come from Rockstar”, not from Take-Two. confirmed (exec quote, as reported by Insider Gaming)
- On the Aug 7, 2026 earnings call, Zelnick said PC can now be “40% or 50%” of sales for multiplatform titles. That is a general industry comment, not a GTA VI PC announcement. confirmed (Motley Fool transcript)
Reading between the lines, Take-Two clearly values PC sales. That is our inference, not a statement. speculation
Can I play GTA 6 on PC with Xbox Cloud Gaming?

”GTA 6 PC download”: every one is fake

- Do not run any GTA 6 “.exe” from outside an official store.
- Do not connect a crypto wallet to any “GTA 6” site.
- Leaked console footage, like the CyberLeek clips, is not a playable build either.
What will GTA 6 PC system requirements be?
Unknown. Rockstar has published none, and specs circulating online are invented. rumour On console the game targets 30 fps, even on the PS5 Pro, and needs up to 212 GB, which hints that a PC version will be demanding. That is a guess. speculation
Should I wait for PC or buy on console?
If you want to play at launch, console is the only option. If you only play on PC, the best information right now says early 2027 at the soonest, with no guarantee. See price and editions for console pricing, and Switch 2 for the other platform people keep asking about.
What we’re watching
- Any Rockstar announcement after launch; Zelnick says it would come from Rockstar first.
- Take-Two’s next earnings report, the first after launch.
