GTA 6 PC release date could be early 2026, according to Corsair Gaming
PC gamers might not have to wait as long as we thought for Grand Theft Auto 6
🤔 We’ve just got another clue about when GTA 6 PC could release
🙏 Corsair Gaming’s VP believes it could come to PC as early as next year
🤷♂️ Rockstar’s track record for porting its games to PC is mixed at best
😬 GTA 5 came after two years, but it took almost 15 years for Red Dead Redemption to arrive
GTA 6 publisher Take-Two recently stressed the importance of a PC release, but reiterated that the console versions will come first. It’s left many wondering when Grand Theft Auto 6 could come to PC, and Corsair Gaming’s VP has made his own prediction.
Speaking in the company’s 2024 Q4 earnings call, Corsair Gaming’s financial VP Ronald van Veen said: “My understanding now, it’s going to come out in the fall for console, and then early 2026 for PC.” (Thanks, VGC.)
If that proves to be the case, it means GTA 6 would be released on PC far earlier than anyone expected.
Rockstar’s port timing isn’t easy to predict, but it took two years for GTA 5 to come to PC, but it took 15 years before Red Dead Redemption finally made the jump. While it’s unlikely PC gamers would have to wait that long, a release that’s closer to consoles would be most welcome.
Borderlands 4 release date announcement recently narrowed GTA 6’s release date. With Borderlands 4 releasing in September, it’s likely Grand Theft Auto 6 will launch in October, November or December. November seems most likely, though recent rumors suggest a late October release date.
