GTA 6 may be closer to hitting PCs than expected, with Corsair’s CEO and co-founder, Andrew Paul, suggesting that the game could be released in 2026 for the platform. While he didn’t provide a specific date or additional details, Paul mentioned this during a presentation of Corsair’s financial results to shareholders, hinting that the game might launch early next year.
It’s important to note that this information wasn’t part of Corsair’s official documents but came up during the Q&A session. This raises two possibilities: either Paul has access to insider information or he was speculating.
No confirmed link between Corsair and Rockstar would substantiate the 2026 PC launch prediction. However, companies in the gaming industry sometimes receive early details for product launches, and Corsair may have some insider knowledge or even a potential collaboration in place (such as bundled offers like “buy a Corsair component and get the game”). While the news is not confirmed, it’s certainly something to keep an eye on.
GTA 6 parallels with its predecessor
The 2026 release for GTA 6 would align closely with the timeline of its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto V. GTA V, originally launched in 2013 for the Xbox 360 and PS3, before reaching PCs in April 2015.
However, it’s worth noting that the PC version of GTA V was based on the enhanced edition released for the PS4 and Xbox One in late 2014. This version featured improvements such as a first-person mode and additional content, making the wait for the PC release feel less extended. If GTA 6 follows a similar pattern, the PC launch could offer enhanced features and content alongside the console release, potentially reducing the gap for players.
GTA 6 Launch
Although several rumors suggest a delay, Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive have confirmed that GTA 6 will be released on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S by the end of 2025. Only one trailer has been unveiled (in December 2023), but more details are expected in the coming months.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has also confirmed that the game will eventually come to PC, which aligns with Rockstar’s strategy. Typically, Rockstar launches its games on consoles, like with GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, and then follows up with PC releases.
While there is no confirmed PC release date or price for GTA 6 yet, it’s worth noting that GTA 5 achieved remarkable success, selling over 210 million units.
