GTA 6 PC uncertainty
Rockstar still hasn’t confirmed a PC release for GTA 6, and leaked financial details reported by GamesRadar say GTA Online generates roughly 97% of its revenue on consoles — a figure some outlets link to why a simultaneous PC launch might be deprioritised (gamesradar.com). Notebookcheck reports that rumors now point to a Windows release as late as February 2027, while prediction markets still give an ~80% chance of a 2026 release window overall ( ). Separately, actor Jay Klaitz has publicly denied playing Carl Hampton and said the game’s satire might land differently given current real-world events — comments that outlets captured when covering casting and tone discussions ( ).
Rockstar has set *Grand Theft Auto VI* for November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, but still has not announced a personal computer version. (rockstargames.com) Take-Two Interactive repeated that November 19, 2026 date in its fiscal second-quarter 2026 results, and Rockstar’s official *Grand Theft Auto VI* page still lists the game without any personal computer release details. (take2games.com, rockstargames.com) GamesRadar reported this month that leaked *Grand Theft Auto Online* financial data showed about 97% of revenue coming from consoles, while Notebookcheck said current rumors point to a Windows launch as late as February 2027. (gamesradar.com, notebookcheck.net) That would fit Rockstar’s older release pattern. *Grand Theft Auto V* reached consoles in September 2013 and personal computers in April 2015, and *Red Dead Redemption 2* hit consoles in October 2018 before its personal computer launch in November 2019. (rockstargames.com, rockstargames.com) Take-Two Chief Executive Officer Strauss Zelnick has not ruled out personal computer support, but he has also stopped short of confirming it for *Grand Theft Auto VI*. GamesRadar, citing a February interview, said Zelnick called personal computer “a more and more important part of the console business.” (gamesradar.com) Prediction markets are leaning toward a 2026 release overall, not a personal computer launch specifically. Covers reported on April 15 that traders were still pricing in about an 80% chance that *Grand Theft Auto VI* releases sometime in 2026. (covers.com) The casting rumor mill is moving separately from the platform questions. IGN and TechRadar reported on April 14 that Jay Klaitz, who played Lester Crest in *Grand Theft Auto V*, publicly denied rumors that he plays Cal Hampton in *Grand Theft Auto VI*. (ign.com, techradar.com) Klaitz also said the series’ satire may land differently in 2026 because, as IGN summarized his remarks, real-world events already feel more extreme than they did in 2013. Rockstar has not publicly answered those comments. (ign.com) For now, the only firm date is November 19, 2026 on consoles. Until Rockstar says otherwise, every personal computer window — whether 2026 or February 2027 — remains a rumor built around a launch plan the company has not confirmed.
