Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled to release on Xbox Series and PS5 consoles later this year, but the game won’t be launching simultaneously on PC. Despite this, accessories company Corsair Gaming has claimed that the GTA 6 PC release date is coming out sometime in early 2026.

GTA 6 PC release date revealed

Spotted by VGC, Corsair’s latest financials call reveals that the GTA 6 release date is expected to occur sometime in “early 2026”. While there’s no official update from Rockstar Games or publisher Take-Two, Corsair claims that early 2026 will see the game launching on PC.

“GTA 6 is probably the one everyone is talking about,” said Corsair Gaming financial VP Ronald van Veen. “And we’ll get a glimpse of that, I think, later on in the year for console. My understanding now, it’s going to come out in the fall [autumn] for console, and then early 2026 for PC”

This GTA 6 PC release date would be one of the fastest turnarounds for a Rockstar Games PC release as of late. For example, it took Rockstar a year and a half to bring the last Grand Theft Auto game to PC after its 2013 Xbox 360/PS3 release.

Rockstar’s release of Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC took over a year after its console release. Additionally, the original Red Dead Redemption took over a year more than its Nintendo Switch and PS4 ports and more than 14 years after its original release.

As a studio, Rockstar Games has never cared much for a quick turnaround for its PC ports, despite the longing from PC players to get their hands on the developer’s latest games. When the PC port does eventually release, it will undoubtedly be the best place to experience GTA 6—especially with the additional of mods.
