When is GTA 6 coming to PC? No date yet.

GTA 6 comes out on 19 November 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar hasn't announced a PC version. One report says early 2027; Rockstar's own history says a year or more. Here's what is actually known, and what it means if you're waiting for roleplay.

Short answer
Not announced. GTA 6 comes out on 19 November 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. On 13 October 2026 GamesBeat reported, citing four unnamed sources, that a PC version is planned for the first three months of 2027; Rockstar hasn't confirmed it. Rockstar's last two big games reached PC 19 months (GTA V) and 12 months (Red Dead Redemption 2) after their console launch. Checked 29 October 2026.

What Rockstar and Take-Two have said

Rockstar's announcement lists two platforms, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and nothing else. It hasn't said the word PC about GTA 6 at all, and there is no PC listing on Steam, the Epic Games Store or the Rockstar Store.

Take-Two, Rockstar's parent, has come closest. Its CEO, Strauss Zelnick, has said console players are the core audience for a launch like this, and told investors that “the PC is becoming more and more important to our company over time”. That is a reason to expect a PC version, not a date for one.

The one concrete claim is a report. On 13 October 2026 GamesBeat wrote that the PC version is planned for the first three months of 2027, citing four unnamed sources. Rockstar didn't comment, and nothing since has confirmed or denied it.

months from console to PCreported window, unconfirmedif GTA 6 takes as long as that game
Months from the console release to the PC release, North American dates. GTA 6's bars start from its console launch on 19 November 2026: the reported window (GamesBeat, unconfirmed) and the dates it would reach PC if it took as long as Red Dead Redemption 2 or GTA V did.

Three ways it could go

The report is right: PC in the first three months of 2027, two to four months after console. That would be the fastest Rockstar PC version since Max Payne 3 in 2012, which followed console by 2 weeks.

Red Dead Redemption 2's pace: 12 months, so Nov 2027. That version was announced a month before it came out, with the PC requirements at the same time.

GTA V's pace: 19 months, so Jun 2028. GTA V's PC version was announced about a year after console and then delayed twice.

We don't have a prediction. When Rockstar announces a date, the top of this page will say so.

Will GTA 6 be on Steam?

Nothing is announced. The two precedents point different ways: GTA V's PC version launched on Steam on day one, while Red Dead Redemption 2's launched on the Rockstar Games Launcher and the Epic Games Store first and reached Steam a month later. A Steam page for GTA 6 would be the first public sign of a PC version.

What a PC version means for GTA 6 roleplay

This is why the PC date matters more to roleplayers than to anyone else. GTA RP servers aren't a mode of the game: they run on FiveM, a mod that replaces GTA V's online part with a community's own server, scripts and rules. Consoles don't allow that. So a GTA 6 RP server needs two things in order: a PC version, then a way to run mods on it.

What has to happen before you can join a GTA 6 RP server
  1. STEP 1
    PC version
    not announced
  2. STEP 2
    Mod support
    FiveM or official
  3. STEP 3
    Servers open
    communities move over
  4. STEP 4
    Listed on rplist
    live player counts
Nothing past the first step has been announced. FiveM's first builds for GTA V appeared within months of that game's PC release in 2015.

Why FiveM makes this different from 2015

In 2015 FiveM was an outside project that Rockstar tried to shut down. Since August 2023 Cfx.re, the team behind FiveM and RedM, has been part of Rockstar Games, and in September 2026 Rockstar opened a closed beta of nopixel V, an official roleplay city on GTA V, with NoPixel. Rockstar now owns the roleplay platform and works with the biggest roleplay community. None of that has been promised for GTA 6, but it is a different starting point. Where GTA 6 RP stands, updated as news comes in.

Buy GTA 6 on console now, or wait for PC?

If you want the story, the console version is the only one with a date. If what you want is roleplay, no console copy gets you there: servers need the PC version, which has no date, and then mod support, which has no announcement. Many PC players bought GTA V twice, once on console in 2013 and again on PC in 2015. Rockstar is counting on some of that again.

Meanwhile GTA V roleplay is bigger than ever, and the communities running the biggest cities today are the ones most likely to open GTA 6 servers first. Find a GTA V RP server or see the communities already planning for GTA 6.

Questions

Is GTA 6 coming to PC?
Rockstar hasn't announced a PC version. GTA 6 comes out on 19 November 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. Every Rockstar game since GTA IV has reached PC eventually, and Take-Two's CEO has told investors that PC is becoming more important to the company, so a PC version is expected. Expected is not announced.
When is GTA 6 coming to PC?
No date. On 13 October 2026 GamesBeat reported, from four unnamed sources, that the PC version is planned for the first three months of 2027; Rockstar didn't comment. Rockstar's own pattern is slower: GTA V took 19 months to reach PC and Red Dead Redemption 2 took 12 months. At those paces GTA 6 would reach PC in Nov 2027 or Jun 2028.
Why isn't GTA 6 on PC at launch?
Take-Two's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, has said console players are the core audience for a launch like this, and Rockstar has released every big game on console first since GTA IV in 2008. A later PC version also sells the game twice to some players.
Will GTA 6 be on Steam?
Nothing is announced. GTA V's PC version launched on Steam on day one. Red Dead Redemption 2's PC version launched on the Rockstar Games Launcher and the Epic Games Store first, and came to Steam a month later.
What are the GTA 6 PC requirements?
None have been published, and there won't be any until a PC version is announced. Rockstar published Red Dead Redemption 2's PC requirements about a month before that version came out.
Can you pre-order GTA 6 on PC?
No. There is no PC store listing for GTA 6 on Steam, the Epic Games Store or the Rockstar Store. Anything selling a PC pre-order or PC key now is not selling the game.
Will GTA 6 have mods or FiveM on PC?
Nothing has been announced. GTA RP servers run on FiveM, which only exists for the PC version of GTA V. Cfx.re, the team behind FiveM, has been part of Rockstar Games since August 2023, and said then that its focus was FiveM and RedM.
Can you play GTA 6 RP on PS5 or Xbox?
No. Roleplay servers need a PC version and mod support, and consoles don't allow mods. Console players can roleplay informally in private online sessions, as they do in GTA Online today.
