GTA 6 PC release date: everything we know
TL;DR: No PC version is announced. GamesBeat (Oct 13, 2026) reports Q1 2027; history (GTA V: 19 months, RDR2: 13 months) suggests waiting longer. Any 'GTA 6 PC download' today is a scam.
Status: not announced
| Claim | Status |

Rockstar’s track record
| Game | Console | PC | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| GTA V | Sep 2013 | Apr 2015 | ~19 months |
| Red Dead Redemption 2 | Oct 2018 | Nov 2019 | ~13 months |
Rockstar usually ships PC versions a year or more after console. A Q1 2027 PC launch would be a break from that pattern, so do not plan around it until Rockstar confirms.
Avoid fake downloads
There is no legitimate PC build of GTA 6. “Early access”, “PC beta” or “free download” offers are malware or phishing. When a PC version is real, it will appear on the Rockstar Games Launcher, Steam and the Epic Games Store at the same time, with an announcement on Rockstar’s Newswire.
