GTA 6 PC Release Remains Unconfirmed as Rockstar Focuses on Console Launch
  • Grand Theft Auto VI is set to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 19, 2026, but Rockstar has not announced a PC release or a new version of GTA Online.

  • For now, Rockstar is focused on the console launch, and Take-Two has not disclosed plans for a PC edition.

  • Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said platform and edition announcements are for the company’s labels to make, leaving the PC question to Rockstar Games.

  • Zelnick said PC and console experiences are generally similar and that PC hardware capabilities are not materially different from consoles.

  • The discussion came after an analyst asked about PC players’ distinct engagement with GTA, including roleplay servers, and whether Take-Two might narrow the gap between platforms.

  • PC mods have helped sustain Grand Theft Auto V’s popularity, and Take-Two acquired FiveM, the multiplayer mod behind many roleplay servers.

  • Zelnick described FiveM as profitable and said Take-Two is not firmly opposed to modding, but did not clarify the company’s broader plans for modding or monetization.

  • Rockstar’s updated modding guidelines have fueled speculation about a PC version, but they do not confirm one.

  • Reports have suggested a PC release could follow the console launch by a few months, though Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 PC edition arrived a year after its console debut.

  • Grand Theft Auto V’s PC version arrived 19 months after its original console release, adding to concerns that GTA VI players could face a lengthy wait.

  • Zelnick said GTA VI pre-orders have exceeded Take-Two’s expectations; a Sensor Tower report cited in the article estimated 9.69 million pre-orders and $942 million in revenue, surpassing Cyberpunk 2077’s reported 8 million pre-orders.

  • Rockstar’s platform update highlights PlayStation 5 and Xbox features but does not mention PC, while noting that the game can be streamed to Xbox One through cloud gaming.
