GTA6’s PC release date is early 2026, Corsair Gaming believes
Publisher Take-Two recently hinted at a PC release, after consoles
Computer peripherals firm Corsair Gaming has said it believes GTA 6 will release for PC early next year, following its consoles debut.
Rockstar Games’ parent company Take-Two recently hinted at a PC release for Grand Theft Auto 6, even though the game hasn’t officially been announced for the platform.
Now, speaking in its latest financial results, Corsair Gaming’s financa VP, Ronald van Veen, had this to say: “Yeah, GTA 6 is probably the one everyone is talking about. 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 for console, and then early 2026 for PC.”
Grand Theft Auto games have historically been released for consoles first before making their way to PC at a later date. Therefore, it’s anticipated that GTA 6 will come to PC following its PS5 and Xbox Series X/S release this fall.
Earlier this week, Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick discussed the growing importance of the PC gaming business, and the publisher’s strategy for releasing titles for the platform.
“So with Civilization 7 it’s available on console and PC and Switch right away,” he said of Firaxis’ recently released game. “With regard to others in our lineup, we don’t always go across all platforms simultaneously. Historically, Rockstar has started with some platforms and then historically moved to other platforms.”
“We have seen PC become a much more and more important part of what used to be a console business, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see that trend continue,” he added. “Of course, there will be a new console generation [too].”
According to research firm DFC Intelligence, Grand Theft Auto 6 could generate more than $1 billion from pre-orders alone, which would likely be by far the biggest launch of 2025 in all of entertainment.
