There's no official GTA 6 PC release date. Rockstar has confirmed the game for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S only, launching November 19, 2026. Based on the studio's own track record, a PC version is realistically expected sometime between late 2027 and 2028 — not before.

The Historical Pattern

GTA V launched on consoles in September 2013; its PC version arrived in April 2015, a 19-month gap. Red Dead Redemption 2 shipped on consoles in October 2018, with its PC version following about 13 months later. Rockstar has never skipped a PC release for a mainline GTA game — the question has always been timing, not whether it happens.

What to Realistically Expect

Applying that same 13–19 month window to GTA 6's November 19, 2026 console launch puts a PC release somewhere between December 2027 and June 2028. Rockstar hasn't confirmed a storefront, but past releases have spanned Steam, the Rockstar Games Launcher, and Epic Games Store. For system requirement estimates in the meantime, see the GTA 6 system requirements guide, and check Rockstar's official site for the first real confirmation when it comes.
