Rockstar has not officially announced a PC version of GTA 6 — but based on their release history, analyst projections, and Take-Two's own statements, a PC launch is essentially certain. The question is when.
Key Facts
PC Announced
Not officially announced as of July 2026 — console-only confirmed for launch day
Historical Gap
GTA V: 2 years after console. Red Dead 2: 1 year after console. Trend is shortening
Estimated Window
Q4 2027 to Q2 2028 — based on Rockstar's narrowing console-to-PC release gap
PC Requirements
Unofficial estimates: RTX 3080 recommended, 32GB RAM, NVMe SSD for open world streaming
DRM Likely
Rockstar Launcher required — same as GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2
Expected Price
$59.99 — consistent with PC pricing on previous Rockstar titles
Full Breakdown
- Take-Two's 2024 earnings call references 'multi-platform' release plans but explicitly excluded PC from the 2026 window.
- GTA V launched on PC 2 years after console (2013→2015). Red Dead 2 launched on PC 1 year after console (2018→2019).
- The shorter gap with each release suggests GTA 6 PC could arrive in late 2027 — closer to 12 months post-console.
- PC modding community has been vocal about wanting native mod support — Rockstar hasn't commented officially.
- A 'PC Optimised Edition' rumour circulated in early 2026 but was not confirmed by any official source.
- Ray tracing and DLSS 4 support are expected given Rockstar's adoption of cutting-edge PC tech in Red Dead 2.
- Steam listing has not appeared — Rockstar typically lists games on Steam alongside the Rockstar Launcher.
