PC players may finally get their hands on Grand Theft Auto 6 in early 2027. According to Games Beat sources, Rockstar Games is targeting a Q1 2027 launch for the PC version, just a few months after its console debut on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 19, 2025. This is a significantly shorter gap than GTA 5, which took nearly two years to reach PC after its 2013 console release.
The tight window suggests Rockstar is eager to capitalize on the game’s massive popularity across platforms. With GTA 6 expected to dominate the fall release calendar, many developers may delay their titles to avoid direct competition. The first quarter of 2027 already includes major releases like *Stranger Than Heaven*, *Metroid Ravenous*, and *God of War Laufey*.
Rockstar remains silent on when the online multiplayer mode will launch, though Twitch CEO Dan Clancy claims it’s coming in 2026. Given that popular GTA 5 roleplaying mods are PC-exclusive, Rockstar may be waiting to release the PC version before activating online features. The company recently added a GTA 5 roleplaying option to its PC launcher, three years after acquiring FiveM, the team behind the popular modding platform.
