GamesBeat Reports GTA 6 Is Targeting a PC Release in Q1 2027, Months After the November 19 Console Launch

GamesBeat reported on October 13 that Rockstar plans to release GTA 6 on PC in the first quarter of 2027, citing four industry sources familiar with the studio's plans. Rockstar did not respond to a request for comment. Dexerto and Vice both reported the same day.

GamesBeat reported on October 13 that Rockstar plans to release GTA 6 on PC within the first three months of 2027, citing four industry sources familiar with the studio's plans who requested anonymity to avoid damaging business relationships. Dexerto and Vice both covered the report the same day. A Rockstar representative did not respond to GamesBeat's request for comment before publication.

If the Q1 2027 window holds, the PC port would follow the November 19 console launch by only a few months. The historical comparison: GTA 5 reached PC in April 2015, roughly nineteen months after its September 2013 debut on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. GamesBeat notes in the report that 100 percent of GTA role-playing activity on FiveM servers takes place on PC, and that Rockstar acquired FiveM parent company Cfx.re in August 2023.

This site covered a vaguer version of the same story in September, when VGC's Andy Robinson said he expected Rockstar to push the PC version up and that there was 'a bit of noise about that,' without naming a specific window or source. GamesBeat's report adds four sources and a concrete target. Rockstar has not announced a PC release date. GTA 6 launches November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S.
