Overview
- GamesBeat reported on Tuesday that Rockstar plans to release Grand Theft Auto 6 on PC in the first quarter of 2027, citing four anonymous industry sources familiar with the studio’s plans.
- Rockstar Games has not publicly confirmed the Q1 2027 window and declined to comment to GamesBeat before that outlet published its report.
- GTA 6 is scheduled to launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 19, 2026, so a Q1 2027 PC port would arrive only a few months after the console release.
- Analysts and coverage note that this would be a much shorter gap than past Rockstar ports like GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2, which reached PC roughly a year or more after consoles.
- An earlier PC launch could boost sales and modding-driven longevity for the game but may also signal that Rockstar will delay the separate multiplayer/online rollout until later in 2027.
