GTA VI is announced for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only. Every PC release date you have seen is an estimate built from Rockstar's past porting gaps. Here is what is actually on record, and what history suggests.
Those are the only two platforms Rockstar lists. Take-Two repeated it at the September 17, 2026 stockholder meeting: single-player, on two major platforms.
Not announced - no date, no window, no specs. Rockstar did not announce PC versions of GTA V or Red Dead Redemption 2 before their console launches either, so silence now is normal, not a signal.
Zelnick said this at the September 17 stockholder meeting, as relayed by PC Gamer. It is a general comment about the PC market, not a GTA VI announcement.
None exist. Any 'GTA 6 PC requirements' list is invented - there is no PC version to have requirements yet.
| Game | Console | PC | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grand Theft Auto IV | April 29, 2008 | December 2, 2008 | about 7 months |
| Grand Theft Auto V | September 17, 2013 | April 14, 2015 | about 19 months |
| Red Dead Redemption 2 | October 26, 2018 | November 5, 2019 | about 12 months |
Shipped release dates, included as context. They describe what Rockstar did, not what it will do with GTA VI.
If you only play on PC, plan on waiting. Going by the last two games, a gap of one to two years is the pattern - which is where the 2027 and 2028 guesses come from - but that is history, not a plan Rockstar has shared. This page changes the day a PC version is on the Newswire.
