Grand Theft Auto 6’s Early 2026 Release Window for PC Was Speculation – Corsair
While PC hardware and peripheral maker Corsair has previously indicated that Grand Theft Auto 6 might come to PC in early 2026, the company has now revealed that this was speculation on its part. Speaking to IGN, the company has confirmed that it does not have details about the PC release of GTA 6, and has not gotten any details about it from either developer Rockstar Games or publisher Take-Two Interactive.
