In this article
If you play on PC, launch day isn't for you yet. GTA 6 releases on November 19, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. Here's everything we know about a PC version.
Has a PC version been announced?
No. Rockstar hasn't announced a PC version or a PC release date. Take-Two hasn't given a timeline on its recent earnings calls either.
Can PC players stream it?
Not at launch. In October, Xbox executive Matthew Ball said GTA 6 won't be streamable to PC at launch, after a report suggested otherwise. Read more.
What history suggests
Rockstar has a habit of releasing its big games on consoles first:
- GTA 5 came to PS3/Xbox 360 in 2013, and to PC in 2015.
- Red Dead Redemption 2 came to consoles in 2018, and to PC about a year later.
Rockstar would almost certainly bring GTA 6 to PC eventually, given the size of the PC audience. But there's no official date, and any "leaked" PC date you see is speculation.
What to do if you're PC-only
- Watch the official channels. Rockstar Newswire and Take-Two's earnings calls are where a PC version would be confirmed.
- Avoid scams. Ignore anything claiming to be a GTA 6 PC download. They are scams and often malware.
- Consider a console if you don't want to wait. The Xbox Series S is the cheapest current-gen option.
