GTA 6 PC version to launch early 2027, reports claim

Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 18:08 · Archive

Grand Theft Auto 6 will launch on PC in the first quarter of 2027, according to industry sources cited by GamesBeat.

GamesBeat reports that Rockstar Games will launch the PC version of Grand Theft Auto 6 in the first quarter of 2027, citing four anonymous industry sources. Rockstar has not officially announced a PC version, but it is widely expected. This timeline would represent the quickest PC release in the franchise's history. For comparison, the PC version of GTA 5 arrived over a year after its 2013 console launch, whilst GTA 4's PC release came eight months later.

Fans have speculated about the accelerated release schedule. Some have suggested Rockstar wants to release the PC version before a potential PlayStation 5 emulator becomes available, which would allow PC players to access GTA 6 without paying for the official port. Others point to recent leaks from hackers and suggest the studio is acting to get ahead of unauthorised versions.

Rockstar has not confirmed either a PC release date or details about GTA 6 Online's launch. Twitch's chief executive Dan Clancy stated earlier this year that GTA 6 Online will arrive sometime in 2027.
