GTA 6 has not been announced for PC. As of 13 November 2026, Rockstar lists only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, there is no PC release date or even a year, and Take-Two points to Rockstar for any news. Below is what has officially been said, how long PC players waited for GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2, and what options you have if you don’t own a console.
The official status of GTA 6 on PC
The official Grand Theft Auto VI page shows two platforms next to the 19 November 2026 release date on 13 November: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. You can pre-order and pre-load the game in the PlayStation Store and the Xbox Store, but PC does not appear among the platforms on the official page.
Rockstar has published no PC announcement, no release window and no system requirements. Anything you read about a PC date right now is an estimate or a leak, and we don’t repeat those here.
What Take-Two’s CEO said about PC
In early November 2026, a few days before launch, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick was asked whether and when GTA 6 would come to other platforms, including PC, and whether there would be a disc release. His answer was that information always comes from the company’s labels, which in this case means Rockstar. He neither confirmed nor ruled out a PC version or a disc.
In practice, a PC version will be announced by Rockstar on its website and Newswire. Take-Two’s earnings and executive interviews have not produced a date so far.
How long PC players waited for GTA V and RDR2
Rockstar released its last two big games on consoles first and on PC later. The release dates looked like this:
| Game | Consoles | PC | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| GTA V | 17 Sep 2013 | 14 Apr 2015 | over a year and a half |
| Red Dead Redemption 2 | 26 Oct 2018 | 5 Nov 2019 | about a year |
The PC version of GTA V was delayed, and Rockstar set the final 14 April 2015 date in February 2015. Steam lists 13 April 2015 because it uses US time. Red Dead Redemption 2 arrived on PC on 5 November 2019 through the Rockstar Games Launcher and the Epic Games Store, and reached Steam a month later, on 5 December 2019.
These dates are history, not a forecast. Rockstar has never said GTA 6 will follow the same pattern, so we don’t derive a GTA 6 PC date from them.
What you can play on PC right now
On PC, the most recent mainline entry is GTA V. Since 4 March 2025 there has also been GTA V Enhanced with ray tracing, which owners of the PC version received for free. The hardware you need and the differences between Legacy and Enhanced are covered in our GTA 5 requirements guide. The full list of mainline games is in our GTA games order overview.
Cloud as an alternative? Only on Xbox
Rockstar has confirmed that GTA 6 will also be available through Xbox Cloud Gaming. Officially, though, it only mentions streaming on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles, using the Xbox Series S graphics settings. Neither Rockstar nor Microsoft mentions streaming GTA 6 in a browser on PC in the available announcements, so don’t count on it for now.
You also need to buy the game, as the subscription does not include it. Our news story on Xbox Cloud Gaming has the details. If you own an older Xbox One, the cloud is the official way to play GTA 6 without a new console.
When to expect PC news
No one has announced when Rockstar will talk about PC. Keep an eye on Rockstar Newswire and the official game page, where PC would appear in the list of platforms first. We will update this article as soon as Rockstar announces a PC version. In the meantime, our release time guide covers the console launch and our GTA 6 overview sums up everything official.
