The wait for Grand Theft Auto VI is entering its final stretch. Rockstar Games' new video game is scheduled to arrive on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, but there is still a big unknown among fans of the saga: when they will be able to play it on a computer.
The company has not officially announced a date for the PC version, so users will have to wait for Rockstar to confirm its plans. However, the history of its previous releases and some information published in recent weeks provide an idea of when its arrival could occur.
When will GTA 6 arrive on PC? The possible release date
For now, GTA 6 does not have an official PC release date. Rockstar has only confirmed its premiere on November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. However, a report published by GamesBeat in mid-October, which cites four industry sources familiar with the company's plans, suggests that the video game could arrive on computers during the first quarter of 2027.
This possibility would mean a wait of only a few months compared to its console release. However, the information has not yet been confirmed by Rockstar and should be treated as a forecast, not as a definitive date.
Why might GTA 6 take longer to arrive on computers?
Rockstar Games' history helps explain why PC players might have to wait. The company has already followed this strategy with some of its major releases, launching them first on consoles and then bringing the video game to computers. This happened with GTA 5, which arrived on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in September 2013, while its PC version was not available until April 2015. Approximately 19 months passed between both releases.
It also happened with Red Dead Redemption 2. The title debuted on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in October 2018 and arrived on PC in November 2019, just over a year later. If Rockstar were to repeat those timelines, the PC version of GTA 6 could be delayed until late 2027 or even mid-2028. However, the GamesBeat report opens up the possibility that the wait will be much shorter.
For now, fans of the saga will have to wait for an official announcement. The only confirmed date is November 19, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, while any forecast regarding its release on PC remains unguaranteed.
