GTA6 launches only on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and the PC date has still not been officially announced. A recent rumor has reignited the PC conversation.
The rumor
Leaker DetectiveSeeds claims to have contacted 90+ former Rockstar employees via LinkedIn; only 3 replied, and their accounts were consistent.
The rumor points to a February 2027 PC release — about 3 months after the console version (2026-11-19).
The reasoning: Take-Two wants to ship the PC version before the fiscal year ends (2027-03-31) to boost the annual report.
The rumor also stresses that "the timeline may shift, nothing is set in stone."
Historical comparison
Game
Console → PC gap
GTA V
~19 months
Red Dead Redemption 2
~13 months
If February 2027 is accurate, it would sharply shorten Rockstar's usual PC gap.
The counterargument (why it's doubtful)
Rockstar has historically deliberately delayed the PC version to encourage "double-dipping" (buying on console first, then PC).
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick previously said PC launches are intentionally delayed to prioritize consoles, while also admitting PC has become "increasingly important."
Conclusion
A February 2027 PC release is a single-source rumor from a handful of unnamed former employees; neither Rockstar nor Take-Two has confirmed it. This site will keep tracking official announcements.
Always refer to official Rockstar Games announcements, and do not make purchase decisions based on this.
