GTA 6 PC Release Date: Nothing Is Announced

What is official today

Rockstar's own site says "Coming November 19, 2026" and shows two platforms. Take-Two's second-quarter results, filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2026, repeat the date and the same two platforms. In that release CEO Strauss Zelnick says the launch "is ten days away". The word PC does not appear next to the game.

So the honest answer to "when is GTA 6 coming to PC" is that nobody outside Rockstar knows, and any site that prints a firm day is guessing. The main page covers whether a PC version is likely at all.

How long Rockstar's earlier games took to reach PC

Rockstar has brought most of its big console games to PC later. This table applies each past wait to the GTA 6 console date. The estimator at the top of this page does the same sum.

North American dates where regions differed. Three things stand out:

• The two most recent big releases took the longest. Red Dead Redemption 2 needed 375 days and GTA V needed 574. The games from the 2000s arrived in six to eight months.
• Dates slipped. The GTA V PC date moved from January 27 to March 24 and then to April 14, 2015.
• A port is not guaranteed on any schedule. The first Red Dead Redemption reached PC in October 2024, more than 14 years after its console release.

These are sums on past dates, not information from Rockstar or Take-Two.

What Take-Two has said about PC, with dates

Rockstar has said nothing about a PC version. Everything on record comes from Take-Two, mostly from Zelnick, and none of it is a date.

• May 21, 2026, earnings call. Asked about platforms, Zelnick said the PC market is growing and is one Take-Two actively serves, and that "most of our hit titles are released on all platforms over time". He gave no PC timing for GTA 6.
• May 2026, Bloomberg interview. He said Rockstar always starts on console because a release this size is judged by how well it serves its core audience, and that audience is on consoles. He denied the console-first launch is tied to a marketing deal with Sony, and said PC can be 45 to 50% of sales for a big title today.
• September 2026, annual shareholder meeting. Questions about GTA 6 on PC came up. The answer stayed general and no window was given.
• November 9, 2026, second-quarter results. The release table lists GTA VI for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026. No PC entry.

Read together, Take-Two wants its hits on every platform over time and treats PC as a large share of sales, but has chosen to sell the console version first and has not committed to when PC follows. Every statement is on the PC news timeline.

How a real PC date will appear

• On Rockstar's Newswire first. Rockstar posts its GTA 6 schedule there, most recently the pre-load dates on November 3, 2026. A PC date in a video description or on a download site is not an announcement.
• With a store page. Red Dead Redemption 2 launched on the Rockstar Games Launcher and other PC stores on November 5, 2019, and on Steam a month later, on December 5, 2019. Until a store page exists there is nothing to wishlist or buy. See PC pre-orders.
• With system requirements. Rockstar has published none for GTA 6. Lists online are guesses. See PC requirements.
• Probably months ahead, and it may move. The GTA V PC date changed twice after it was first set.

If you only have a PC

You have three honest choices: buy a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S for November 19, wait for an announcement that may be a year or more away, or play something else now. Rockstar's own PC catalog includes GTA V Enhanced (on PC since March 4, 2025), Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Redemption.

If what you want is a living city more than a crime story, LifeSim is a free life simulator that runs in a browser tab on any PC. You pick a real city on Earth, type who you are and live day by day among AI characters who have jobs, homes and routines. It is a different kind of game, and it needs no download.
