While Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is expected to launch on consoles in Fall 2025, PC gamers might have to wait a bit longer. According to recent comments from Corsair Gaming executives, the PC version of GTA 6 could arrive in early 2026, leaving PC players with a longer wait than their console counterparts.
What We Know So Far
Rockstar Games has kept details about GTA VI tightly under wraps, but a few key points have been confirmed:
- The game will feature a Bonnie and Clyde-inspired story with protagonists Jason and Lucia.
- It will return to the iconic Vice City setting.
- A Fall 2025 release window has been announced for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5.
However, Rockstar has yet to confirm a release date for the PC version. Historically, PC gamers have had to wait longer for Grand Theft Auto titles. For example, GTA V’s PC release came five months after its console launch, though it was initially planned to launch simultaneously.
The Latest Leak
During Corsair Gaming’s Q4 earnings call, Ronald van Veen, the company’s VP of Finance and IR, hinted at a potential PC release window for GTA VI. He stated:
“GTA 6 is probably the one everyone is talking about. And we’ll get a glimpse of that, I think, later on in the year for console. My understanding now [is that] it’s going to come out in the fall for console, and then early ’26 for PC.”
Corsair CEO Andy Paul echoed this sentiment, noting that GTA 6 is still “likely a year away” for PC gamers.
Should Fans Trust This Leak?
While these comments provide some insight, it’s important to note that neither Rockstar Games nor Take-Two Interactive has officially confirmed the PC release window. As always, leaks should be taken with a grain of salt until official announcements are made.
What This Means for PC Gamers
If the early 2026 release window is accurate, PC players may face a wait of several months after the console launch. While this might be disappointing, Rockstar’s track record suggests the extra development time could result in a more polished and optimized PC version.
