No PC version of Grand Theft Auto VI has been announced. Take-Two's November 9, 2026 results list GTA 6 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only, and there is no PC date or plan. Any report of a specific PC release window is unconfirmed.

Official status

GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 (including PS5 Pro) and Xbox Series X|S. Those are the only platforms listed in Take-Two's latest results. Rockstar has not announced a PC version, and no date has been given for one. See every GTA 6 platform for the full list.

What Take-Two has said

In May 2026, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told Bloomberg that Rockstar always starts on console to serve the core consumer. He denied that a deal with Sony was the reason for the console-first launch. He also noted that PC can make up 45 to 50 percent of sales for a big title.

That is not a PC announcement. It explains why the console version comes first, but it does not commit to a PC release.

Unconfirmed reports

Some outlets have repeated unconfirmed reports about a later PC release. Nothing official exists. Until Rockstar or Take-Two announce something, treat any rumored PC window as speculation.

How GTA 5 reached PC

GTA V shows how Rockstar has handled PC before: it arrived on PC well after its console launch.

  • PS3 and Xbox 360: September 17, 2013
  • PS4 and Xbox One: November 18, 2014
  • PC: April 14, 2015
  • PS5 and Xbox Series X|S: March 15, 2022
  • A free GTA V Enhanced upgrade on PC: March 4, 2025

That history does not tell us what will happen with GTA 6. Our GTA 6 vs GTA 5 comparison covers more differences between the two games, and you can find more on the older game on our Grand Theft Auto V page.

Can you play GTA 6 without a console?

Not on PC. The only non-native option announced is Xbox Cloud Gaming, which streams the game to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles using Series S graphics settings. The game must be bought separately to stream it.
