What Rockstar has confirmed
- GTA 6 releases on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on 19 November 2026.
- Rockstar has not announced a PC version or a PC release date.
- No PC system requirements have been published.
When PC could arrive (speculation)
This is not official. Rockstar has historically brought its games to PC well after console. GTA 5 arrived on PC roughly 19 months after its console launch. Applying that pattern, industry analysts and former Rockstar staff have pointed to early 2027, with a February 2027 window often mentioned — tied to Take-Two’s financial year. Treat any PC date you see before an official Rockstar announcement as a guess.
What to do while you wait
- Don’t pre-order a PC version — there is nothing official to pre-order. Ignore any site claiming to take PC pre-orders.
- Wishlist it on Steam and the Epic Games Store so you are notified the moment a PC page goes live.
- Plan your PC now. A GTA 6 PC build will likely want a current mid-range GPU, a Ryzen 5 / Core i5 or better, 16GB RAM (32GB to be safe) and a fast SSD. See our graphics card guide and RAM guide.
- Play it on console first if you can’t wait — see our GTA 6 on PS5 guide.
Likely PC features
Based on Rockstar’s recent PC ports, a GTA 6 PC version would be expected to add uncapped frame rates, higher-resolution textures, ultrawide support, and upscaling such as DLSS and FSR. None of this is confirmed for GTA 6 specifically.
FAQ
Is GTA 6 coming to PC?
Almost certainly, based on Rockstar’s history — but as of September 2026 it has not been announced. There is no date, no store page and no system requirements yet.
Can I pre-order GTA 6 for PC?
No. Any website taking “GTA 6 PC pre-orders” right now is not legitimate. Wishlist it on Steam or Epic instead.
What PC will I need for GTA 6?
Rockstar has not published requirements. A sensible target for 1080p high settings: a current mid-range GPU, a recent Ryzen 5 / Core i5, 16–32GB RAM and an NVMe SSD.
