GTA 6has a strong chance of releasing on PC, and Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two Interactive, has already hinted at it.
Whileretailers are launching their ownGTA 6preordersandpossibly leaking the game’s price, fans are speculating about everything—from the game’s lighting to whether John Cena is involved, and even going as far ascreating fake guidebooks forGTA 6.
But the biggest unanswered question remains: WillGTA 6come to PC? So far, the game has only been officially confirmed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Why a GTA 6 PC version is all but confirmed
When asked about a possibleGTA 6PC version earlier this year,Take-Two’s CEO said the company releases its games on additional platforms later, focusing on consoles first, then release them on other platforms later.
While he didn’t explicitly confirm a PC release, there really aren’t any other platforms forGTA 6to land on, especially since the Nintendo Switch never even gotGTA 5. That makes it highly unlikely that the Nintendo Switch 2 would getGTA 6, meaning the only realistic “other platform” would be PC.
Whether it eventually arrives on Steam, the Epic Games Store, or a cloud service like GeForce Now,GTA 6is almost certainly coming to PC—it’s just a matter of when. Of course, this assumes Rockstar won’t release a mobile version of GTA 6, similar to how GTA 5 never had a mobile port. A mobile adaptation, if it ever happens, would likely be something completely different from the console and PC versions.
But here’s why a GTA 6 PC version likely won’t be ready by Fall 2025
That said, Rockstar has a long history of delaying PC releases for their biggest games. BothGTA 5andRed Dead Redemption 2launched on consoles first, with PC versions following much later.
GTA 5released on Windows 18 months after its PS3 and Xbox 360 launch, whileRed Dead Redemption 2’sPC port was slightly quicker to arrive and came out 13 months after the PS4 and Xbox One release.
A former Rockstar developer hinted that this delayed release is strategical—Rockstar prioritizes launching games on the platforms that generate the most sales first, then works on PC ports later. So, it’s already expected thatGTA 6will launch first in Fall 2025 for PlayStation and Xbox, with a likely PC release sometime between late 2026 and early 2027.
Another big reason Rockstar is almost guaranteed to bringGTA 6to PC isGTA Online. The PC version of the title has an entire ecosystem of mods and third-party role-playing servers that have kept the game alive for years.
Since Rockstar acquired Cfx.re, the team behind FiveM, a major force inGTA Online’smodding community, it’s unlikely they would abandon this part of their business when launching a new game. Instead, it makes far more sense for them to build on that success and bringGTA 6to PC when the time is right.
