GTA 6 PC Release: Date, Requirements & Everything We Expect
Quick Answers
Is GTA 6 coming to PC?
Almost certainly yes, but Rockstar has not announced a date. GTA V reached PC 18 months after consoles; expect a similar or shorter gap for VI.
When is the GTA 6 PC release date?
No official date. If the console launch holds for fall 2026, an unannounced PC window in late 2027 is the common community estimate.
Will GTA 6 PC have exclusive features?
Historically PC versions arrive with enhancements — GTA V PC had first-person mode and 4K. Rockstar's RAGE engine games have also landed on Steam and Rockstar Games Launcher.
What Rockstar Has Said
Every official GTA VI announcement lists PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar has never confirmed a PC build — but the company has shipped every mainline GTA on PC since GTA III, and Take-Two's earnings calls repeatedly reference "additional platforms at a later date" phrasing.
History Says the Gap Is Shrinking
| Game | Console Launch | PC Launch | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| GTA IV | Apr 2008 | Dec 2008 | 8 months |
| GTA V | Sep 2013 | Apr 2015 | 18 months |
| RDR2 | Oct 2018 | Nov 2019 | 13 months |
Likely Requirements (Estimate)
- OS: Windows 10/11 64-bit
- CPU: 8-core class (Ryzen 7 / Core i7 range)
- GPU: RTX 3060-class for 1080p high, RTX 4070-class for 4K
- Storage: Likely 150GB+ with the Enhanced Edition precedent
- Ray tracing: RAGE 9 is built around it — expect RT shadows and reflections as headline features
Where It Will Launch
GTA V and RDR2 are on Steam and the Rockstar Games Launcher. Expect VI on both, with Epic Store as a possible third partner. Pre-purchase on any of those when Rockstar opens orders — not on third-party key sites.
