As of October 14, 2026, Rockstar Games has not announced a PC version of Grand Theft Auto VI, and there is no Steam release date. The only confirmed launch is on consoles.

Recent reports suggest a PC edition could follow in early 2027 (Q1). Those reports are unconfirmed, so this article separates what Rockstar has actually said from what is rumor.

What Is Confirmed: A Console-Only Launch

GTA 6 is scheduled to release on November 19, 2026. The confirmed launch platforms are PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Rockstar's own support page reflects this. It lists only those two platforms for GTA 6 pre-orders and gives no PC or Steam date.

  • Confirmed: console launch on November 19, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
  • Not confirmed: any PC edition, any Steam page or release date, and any other storefront.

In short, no official Steam release date exists yet. Any date you see for a PC launch comes from reports, not from Rockstar.

What Is Reported: A Possible Q1 2027 PC Release

On October 13, 2026, GamesBeat reportedly said Rockstar plans to release the PC version in Q1 2027. The report cites four anonymous industry sources. Q1 means the first quarter of the year, January through March.

Other coverage published the same day repeats this and describes it as a reported possibility, not an announced date. Rockstar had not announced a PC edition when these reports appeared.

Another article, published October 12, takes a similar view. It says Rockstar has given no PC date and calls a PC launch after the 2026 console release the best bet.

How to Read These Reports

Anonymous sourcing means the claim cannot be verified. The timing is plausible, since a delayed PC launch fits a console-first release, but plausible is not the same as confirmed. Until Rockstar says otherwise, treat Q1 2027 as an unofficial estimate that could change.

What This Means for PC Players

If you plan to play on PC, the practical picture is simple: you will probably be waiting after November 19, 2026. How long is unknown.

  • Don't expect a PC pre-order yet. Rockstar's official pre-order listing covers consoles only.
  • Watch Rockstar's official channels. A PC announcement would come from Rockstar, not from leaks or third-party stores.
  • Treat unofficial listings with caution. A Steam page or key sold before an announcement is not reliable.

Steam is Valve's PC storefront, so a Steam release would also depend on Rockstar choosing to publish there. Nothing official says whether it would, or whether it would use another launcher as well. Those details remain open questions, along with pricing, system requirements, and any PC-specific features.

Conclusion

The facts are narrow: GTA 6 launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026, and Rockstar has announced nothing for PC or Steam. The Q1 2027 window comes from anonymous sources, not from the studio.

PC players should plan for a wait and rely only on an official Rockstar announcement for a firm date.
