GTA 6 PC version: Senior industry source hints at early 2026 launch

Rockstar Games has already confirmed that the long-awaited Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to launch this year, specifically in autumn, barring any delays. Whilst this answers the question of when, it remains unclear which platforms the game will be released on initially. Although we can be almost certain that GTA 6 will be on PC at some point, previous entries in the series didn’t launch on all their target platforms simultaneously. For example, Grand Theft Auto V made its debut on 17 September 2013 on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, whereas the PC version only became available in April 2015.

A comment related to the PC version of GTA 6 has now emerged from a rather unexpected source. During an earnings call of hardware maker Corsair, the company’s CEO and co-founder Andrew Paul talked about the game’s PC release, revealing that GTA 6 could arrive on the platform in early 2026.

The reliability of this information is still up in the air. It’s worth considering the overall context to better understand the comment – thankfully, a transcript of the earnings call is available. The discussion shows that Andrew Paul provided the supposed release date only after being asked a related question. Accordingly, there is a possibility that this information was divulged off-the-cuff, which probably wouldn’t have occurred if he were reading a prewritten statement. By his choice of words, we are unable to tell whether Andrew Paul based his comment on insider information, but the release windows correspond to what he currently believes will happen.
