GTAPS5 · PS5 Pro · Xbox Series X|S
Worldwide release on November 19, 2026. These are the only platforms Rockstar has announced to date.
GTA 6 on PC?
It is the most asked question, and the honest answer fits in one sentence: Rockstar has announced no PC version. Here is what is confirmed, what is not, and what the studio's history reasonably suggests.
PC · PS4 · Xbox One · Switch 2
None of these platforms has been mentioned by Rockstar. Any PC release date going around today is speculation, not information.
The precedent
Rockstar has consistently shipped its big games on consoles first, then on PC:
| Game | Consoles | PC | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grand Theft Auto V | September 17, 2013 | April 14, 2015 | ≈ 19 months |
| Red Dead Redemption 2 | October 26, 2018 | November 5, 2019 | ≈ 12 months |
If GTA 6 followed the same pattern, a PC version would land somewhere between late 2027 and mid-2028. That is not information: it is a projection from two precedents. Rockstar has announced nothing, and nothing obliges it to repeat history.
⚠️ The direct consequence: no GTA 6 PC installer, beta or key exists. Anything claiming otherwise is a scam — see the scams to know about.
How you will know a real announcement
The day a PC version is real, it will appear in these places — and nowhere else before them. You need nobody's help to check.
-
01
The Rockstar Newswire
It is the studio's official channel, and it has announced every date in the series. A PC announcement will be there, published by Rockstar itself. Open the Newswire ↗
-
02
A storefront listing
A PC product page on the Rockstar Store, Steam or the Epic Games Store, with system requirements. As long as no store lists the game on PC, there is nothing to pre-order.
-
03
A ratings board entry
PEGI in Europe, the ESRB in North America: a game must be rated before it can be sold, and the rating names the platforms. A PC entry there often precedes the commercial announcement.
-
04
A Take-Two filing
The publisher discusses its releases with shareholders, in public dated documents. What is written there commits the company, unlike whatever an anonymous account reports.
What does not count, and goes around every week anyway: a screenshot of a reseller page, a "leak" relayed by an account with no history, a date found in a storefront's code, a countdown on a site nobody knows. None of these has ever correctly announced a Rockstar release.
The questions we get asked
Short answers, and where each one comes from. They will change the day Rockstar changes its mind, not before.
Will GTA 6 come out on PC?
Rockstar Games has announced no PC version to date. The only confirmed platforms are PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S, for a November 19, 2026 release.
What is the GTA 6 PC release date?
There is none. No PC date exists, because no PC version has been announced. Any precise date you see going around was invented by whoever posted it.
Can you pre-order GTA 6 on PC?
No. The pre-orders open since June 25, 2026 cover consoles only. No store offers a PC version, and any such offer is a scam.
Is there a GTA 6 beta on PC?
No, and there is none on any platform. Rockstar has announced no public test. "Beta access" offered in exchange for a sign-up or a payment is a trap.
How long after consoles, if a PC version happens?
Nobody knows. What can be said, reading the two precedents: GTA V reached PC about 19 months after consoles, Red Dead Redemption 2 about 12 months after. A projection would put a PC version between late 2027 and mid-2028 — that is reasoning, not an announcement.
What about PS4, Xbox One or Switch 2?
None of those three has been mentioned by Rockstar. The game was presented from the start as a title built for the PS5 and Xbox Series generation.
