We’ve known for the longest time when Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming to PlayStation and XBOX consoles, but its PC status is still up in the air. However, one of the most recognizable analysts has said when GTA 6 is coming to PC.
Grand Theft Auto 6 releases on PS5 and XBOX Series X|S on November 19. No more delays. It’s happening. PlayStation and XBOX owners can begin the first of hundreds of thousands of hours in Rockstar’s new world, while PC owners watch from the shadows.
GTA 6 Coming to PC Between April and June 2027?
Industry analyst Michael Pachter was recently interviewed by the BBC about GTA 6. During the conversation, Pachter brought up Grand Theft Auto 6’s platforms and how it isn’t an exclusive title.

But he not only said it was coming to PC, which we know, but gave a quite specific timeframe:
“The game is not exclusive on PlayStation 5, it’s also coming out on the XBOX Series [X|S], and in about 6 or 7 months it will come out on PC. Lots of people are going to have access to it, but the boom for Sony right now is that people have to have a console if they want to play it at launch.”

We recently reported on the claim that the GTA 6 PC release was scheduled for Q1 2027, which would nearly line up with Pachter’s prediction, but the analyst isn’t always right, so take the claim with a pinch of salt.
This follows up another analyst’s claim that GTA 6 could cost the American economy $1billion! For comparison, GTA 5 released on September 17, 2013, and it was nearly two years before the PC version debuted.

This is a much shorter window, but if true, it’s better news if you’re a PC owner waiting to unleash your wild, criminal side.
Do you think Pachter’s estimation will be spot on? Or does it feel too soon for a PC port? Let us know your thoughts on the Insider Gaming Discord server.
