Report: GTA 6 PC release targeted for Q1 2027, per GamesBeat

GamesBeat reported on 2026-10-14 that Rockstar Games plans to release the PC version of Grand Theft Auto 6 in the first quarter of 2027, citing four industry sources familiar with the studio’s plans.

PC players currently can only watch livestreams and YouTube playthroughs of the game, and GamesBeat’s write-up included the line: "GamesBeat has confirmed that Rockstar plans to release the PC version of GTA VI in the first quarter of 2027, according to four industry sources familiar with the studio’s plans, all of whom requested anonymity to avoid damaging business relationships."

The GamesBeat report says the PC edition is being targeted for a Q1 2027 release window, which would place the launch between January and March 2027 if the timetable holds.

The article notes that even if the PC version arrives in March or April 2027, that interval would be significantly shorter than the gaps between initial console releases and PC ports for previous Rockstar titles, and, if accurate, could make this GTA 6 PC launch the company’s fastest PC port.

Rockstar Games and parent company Take-Two have not issued any comment or confirmation about a PC release, and the report’s details are being presented as unconfirmed and speculative pending official statements.

Community interest around the franchise remains high ahead of the console release, and the article mentions that CYBERLEEK has returned with new leaks, including leaked gameplay and features, that have further intensified fan attention.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is officially scheduled to launch on November 19, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S; the PC release remains unconfirmed by Rockstar but is reported to be targeted for Q1 2027.
