Discord Feature, Hinting at GTA 6 PC Preparations
As the May 2026 console release for Grand Theft Auto VI draws closer, Rockstar Games is subtly enhancing its PC ecosystem, hinting at preparations for the game’s eventual arrival on the platform. A significant update to the Rockstar Games Launcher has introduced Discord Rich Presence, a feature highly requested by the GTA 6 PC community.
Spotted by reliable insiders, the new integration allows players to seamlessly share which Rockstar title they are currently playing directly on their Discord profile. This brings the launcher in line with other platforms like Steam and Epic Games, offering a more connected social experience for friends to see each other’s in-game activities.
The update includes more than just Discord support. Users can now select their preferred launcher to boot Rockstar games and have access to a new three-dots menu for installed titles, providing quicker options to uninstall or modify game settings. These are quality-of-life improvements that modernize the PC experience.
While these changes may seem minor, they signal Rockstar is actively refining its PC infrastructure. This is particularly notable given that Grand Theft Auto VI is confirmed for a console-only launch initially, with a PC port expected to follow later. A robust and updated launcher suggests Rockstar is laying the technical groundwork to support its biggest release ever on PC.

Furthermore, this move reinforces Rockstar’s growing support for the PC modding community, which was officially acknowledged with the acquisition of the FiveM roleplay framework. An improved launcher could be the first step toward integrating similar community tools for Grand Theft Auto VI, potentially dubbed “SixM” by hopeful fans. For now, GTA 6 PC players have a smoother experience to enjoy while they await their turn to visit Vice City.
