Is GTA 6 coming to PC?

GTA 6 is not confirmed for PC. Rockstar Support's platforms, editions and versions page, last updated November 4, 2026, says you can pre-order the game for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S and lists nothing else.1 Rockstar's November 3 pre-load announcement talks about the same two consoles.8

So there is no PC pre-order or PC price, and GTA 6 has not been announced for Steam. The full console rundown, from PS5 Pro to Xbox Series S, is on the GTA 6 platforms page.

GamesBeat's Q1 2027 GTA 6 PC report

GamesBeat's Alexander Lee reported on October 13, 2026 that Rockstar plans to put GTA 6 on PC within the first three months of 2027, citing four unnamed industry sources.2 A Rockstar representative did not answer GamesBeat's request for comment before the story ran, so the window is a report, not an announcement.

PCWorld and other outlets picked up the story and also treat it as unconfirmed.9 If it holds, PC players would wait about 1.5 to 4.5 months after the console launch, a far shorter gap than Rockstar's last two big games had.

Why GTA 6 comes to consoles before PC

GTA 6 comes to consoles before PC because Rockstar always starts on console, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told Bloomberg in an interview that PC Gamer reported on May 4, 2026.10 A release that big is judged by "serving the core," he said, and PC Gamer's headline spells out what that means: PC players aren't the game's core audience.

In the same interview Zelnick said PC can now make up 45 to 50% of a big title's sales. Even so, no GTA 6 PC date has been announced.

How long GTA 5 and RDR2 took to reach PC

GTA 5 took about 19 months to reach PC. It came out on PS3 and Xbox 360 on September 17, 2013, according to Engadget, and Rockstar's Newswire announced the PC launch on April 14, 2015.45

Red Dead Redemption 2 had a shorter wait. It launched on PS4 and Xbox One on October 26, 2018, per Gematsu, and reached PC on November 5, 2019, a little over a year later.67

GTA 6 PC system requirements

GTA 6 PC system requirements have not been published, because Rockstar has not announced a PC version to publish them for.1 Any minimum or recommended spec list you see online did not come from Rockstar.

The only hardware figure Rockstar has given is for consoles: the pre-load needs up to 212 GB of space, depending on your device.8 How much space GTA 6 needs covers that figure in detail.

Can you play GTA 6 on PC at launch?

You can't play GTA 6 on PC at launch: Xbox has ruled out streaming it to PC through Xbox Cloud Gaming, and no other cloud service has been announced for it. On October 7, 2026, Xbox chief strategy officer Matthew Ball posted that the game "will not be streaming exclusively or to PC," denying a report from The Verge a day earlier about an exclusive Xbox Cloud Gaming deal with PC streaming for Game Pass members.3

The PlayStation Store does list Remote Play as supported.12 Remote Play streams the game from a PS5 you own to another device, so it is not a PC version and still needs the console.
