Grand Theft Auto 6 may hit PC barely four months after its console debut.
Citing four industry sources, GamesBeat reports Rockstar is targeting a first-quarter 2027 PC release for GTA 6, with consoles getting the game on Nov. 19. That timeline would mark a sharp reversal from Rockstar's usual approach: GTA 5 took almost two years to reach PC after launching on consoles, and Red Dead Redemption 2 made players wait more than a year. Rockstar has not confirmed the date, and the report is based on sourcing rather than an official announcement.
A four-month gap instead of a two-year one changes who has to make hard choices and when. PC owners with capable rigs could get the best-looking version of the game without agonizing over whether to buy a PS5 Pro just to play it sooner. It also matters for the GTA roleplaying scene, which has thrived on PC's mod support in GTA 5 - a faster PC launch means that community could form around GTA 6 much sooner, rather than watching from the sidelines for a year or two.
Take the timing with some skepticism until Rockstar confirms it. The company has blown past its own release estimates before, and sourcing from unnamed industry contacts is still a step below an official announcement.
