Whereas PC {hardware} and peripheral maker Corsair has beforehand indicated that Grand Theft Auto 6 would possibly come to PC in early 2026, the corporate has now revealed that this was hypothesis on its half. Chatting with IGN, the corporate has confirmed that it doesn’t have particulars in regards to the PC launch of GTA 6, and has not gotten any particulars about it from both developer Rockstar Video games or writer Take-Two Interactive.

My understanding now it’s going to return out within the fall for console, after which early 2026 for PC.”
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick himself has been fairly cagey in regards to the PC launch of GTA 6. When requested about it by IGN beforehand, he responded that PC is a vital platform for the writer, pointing to the current launch of Civilization 7. He does point out that Rockstar Video games has historically launched its titles on consoles earlier than then releasing them on PC.
“So with Civ 7 it’s accessible on console and PC and Swap immediately,” mentioned Zelnick. “With regard to others in our lineup, we don’t all the time go throughout all platforms concurrently. Traditionally, Rockstar has began with some platforms after which traditionally moved to different platforms.”

Zelnick, nevertheless, believes the launch of GTA 6 to be a large enough occasion that it’s going to have an effect on console gross sales.
“When you’ve an enormous title out there and we now have lots of them coming, traditionally that has offered consoles,” Zelnick mentioned.
“And I believe that can occur this 12 months. I don’t assume tariffs are going to be our pal, however I believe there shall be a significant uptick in console gross sales in calendar 25 due to the discharge schedule, not simply coming from us, however coming from others. So I’m not involved about that [console sales falling]. I believe the development that you simply’d wish to concentrate on is that this rising share of the market that’s mirrored in PC.”
Whereas the looming launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 may also have brought on some concern for followers of GTA On-line, Zelnick has acknowledged that, so long as there’s a playerbase for it, the corporate will proceed to help even its older titles.
