GTA 6 on PC: Why Rockstar Might Be Fast-Tracking It - Next-Gen Console Watch

October 16, 2026 · 26 min

Show notes

Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch! This week Daemon is joined by fellow Omega Cop, Nick Limon, and Beyond's Nick Maillet to talk about that rumored GTA 6 on PC release window. Rockstar and Take-Two have officially been keeping quiet on GTA 6's PC release, but according to a new report, anonymous sources have stated a Q1 2027 release window. That's only a few months after the PS5 and Xbox release, when usually Rockstar takes a year or more to port their big titles from console to PC. So why the rush? Would this eat at some of their day one console sales if some gamers prefer to wait until they can play it on PC? And does it have anything to do with the rapid advancements in the PS5 AI recomp scene? Plus we have last week's poll results and a new poll for you to vote on at IGN.com, Spotify, and Discord.
