RUMOR, UNVERIFIED

GTA VI PC version reportedly planned for early 2027

Credibility: medium · Traces to 1 independent origin · First reported 2026-10-13 · Last reviewed 2026-10-23

So, is this actually true?

Not confirmed. One outlet, GamesBeat, reports a PC release in the first quarter of 2027 based on four anonymous sources. Rockstar and Take-Two have not announced a PC version, and every official listing names only PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Treat the timing as a credible report, not a fact.

The claim

Grand Theft Auto VI will come to PC in the first quarter of 2027, a few months after the November 19, 2026 console launch.

Where it came from

GamesBeat published the report on October 13, 2026, citing four people it did not name. Rockstar did not respond to its request for comment. Other outlets then repeated the GamesBeat report, so those articles add reach but no new evidence.

What we know

Rockstar's June 24, 2026 pre-order announcement and the official GTA VI page list PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only. Neither mentions a PC version or a PC release window.

What we don't know

Whether Rockstar has set a PC date, what the PC system requirements are, and whether the quarter could slip. No independent outlet has published a separately sourced report that matches the GamesBeat timing.

Our assessment

A later PC release would be consistent with Rockstar's release history, but Rockstar has not announced a PC version or release window. The specific Q1 2027 timing rests on GamesBeat, an established outlet citing four sources, which is solid for an anonymous report, but every other article we found traces back to that one piece. Until a second outlet confirms it with its own sources, or Rockstar announces a date, we rate it medium and keep it unverified.
