Key Points:
- A report from GamesBeat, citing anonymous industry sources, suggests that the PC version of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) will release in the first quarter of 2027, several months after the console launch on November 19, 2024.
- This would mean a console exclusivity window of approximately two to five months, which is shorter than previous Rockstar game delays between console and PC releases, such as GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
- Rockstar has not officially confirmed the PC release date, and there is speculation about potential leaks, including a threat from leaker CyberLeek to release a playable build of the game, prompting Rockstar to take legal action.
- The timing of the PC release aligns with plans for GTA 6 Online, expected in 2027, as Rockstar aims to build a strong player base and revenue stream similar to GTA 5’s success with its online mode.
- Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick previously acknowledged the company’s typical staggered platform releases but recognized strong demand for GTA 6 on non-console platforms like PC.
