GTA 6 PC release predicted for 2027 following console launch, insider claims speculative timeline

The highly awaited Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) has been the talk of the gaming world for years. Fans eagerly anticipate the next chapter in the iconic series, but official details about its release are still scarce. Currently, Rockstar Games has confirmed a launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, but there is no word yet on a PC version. However, an insider on X, @Mvbrr, has raised speculation about the timing of a potential PC release, suggesting it could arrive in 2027, assuming the console versions hit the market in 2025.

GTA 6 is set to launch for current-generation consoles in the Fall of 2025, marking its first official appearance on these platforms. If @Mvbrr's prediction holds true, PC players could be looking at a release roughly a year and a half after the console versions. This follows the historical trend seen in previous GTA games, where console versions were released first, followed by a PC release after some time. For instance, Grand Theft Auto 5 launched on PS3 and Xbox 360 in September 2013, but the PC version didn't arrive until April 2015, with ports for PS4 and Xbox One coming in between.

While @Mvbrr's claim about the 2027 timeline is intriguing, there is another more personal piece of news tied to Rockstar Games. The insider also mentions that Sam Houser, the co-founder and president of Rockstar, is expected to take a sabbatical soon, with plans to eventually leave the company. This follows the departure of his brother, Dan Houser, in 2020. However, it is important to approach this information cautiously, as no official confirmation has been made regarding either the timing of the PC release or Houser's future plans.
