Take-Two Interactive's FY2027 product table lists Grand Theft Auto 6 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only. The PC port is entirely absent and the $8 billion SEC guidance includes no PC revenue, pointing to a late 2027 release at the earliest.
We're roughly two weeks removed from the May 21 earnings call by Take-Two Interactive and it seems like we've discussed everything there is to talk about from it. However, one thing that we may have glossed over (and most did) is what Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick didn't say about Grand Theft Auto VI on PC.
Unlike previous earnings calls or appearances, Zelnick made no commitment, date, or deadline about bringing GTA 6 to platforms outside the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X. All he had to say was vague corporate language about "additional platforms in the future," all the while dodging questions about bringing GTA 6 to other platforms.
Then, the filing made it worse.
Take-Two's FY2027 product release table, the document that lists every title the company expects to ship between April 1, 2026, and March 31, 2027, includes GTA 6 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S only. PC is not listed at all.
Although it isn't definitive by any means and the release table can change, the fact that it doesn't appear at all means that GTA 6 isn't coming to PC, or any other platform for that matter, before March 2027.
For what it's worth, it's not time to panic just yet. If Rockstar follows previous precedent with Red Dead Redemption 2 and Grand Theft Auto V, the PC version could arrive anywhere between 13 months to 19 months from November 2026. The FY2027 filing's omission of PC is consistent with both scenarios. Neither puts the PC release inside the current fiscal year.
Perhaps the only reason why some are surprised is the earlier rumors from DetectiveSeeds about a potential February 2027 PC release for GTA 6.
If a February PC launch were in the plan, it would generate revenue that Take-Two would include in its $8 billion guidance. Grand Theft Auto launches are major revenue events. GTA V's PC launch broke Steam concurrent player records. RDR2's PC launch was a top seller for weeks. A GTA 6 PC launch in February 2027 would contribute hundreds of millions in incremental revenue that a company filing $8 billion guidance with the SEC would want to include.
The absence suggests that Rockstar and Take-Two are taking their sweet time with GTA 6's PC release.

Updated GTA 6 on PC Timeline Estimates
| Estimate | Source | Likelihood After Earnings Call |
|---|---|---|
February 2027 | DetectiveSeeds (pre-earnings estimate) | Declining: not reflected in FY2027 product table or revenue guidance |
Late 2027 (October-December) | 13-month gap (matches RDR2 precedent) | Moderate-High: consistent with FY2028 timing and historical pattern |
Early-Mid 2028 | 19-month gap (matches GTA V precedent) | Moderate: possible if Rockstar extends the exclusivity window |
Never (PC skipped entirely) | Community fear | Extremely unlikely: PC generates significant revenue and RP is a major focus for Rockstar and Take-Two going foward; Take-Two also confirmed 6 platform extensions through FY2029 and GTA 6 PC is almost certainly one of them |
GTA 6 is coming to PC. The question has never been if. The question is when.
GTA V on PC has generated billions in lifetime revenue between base game sales, Grand Theft Auto Online microtransactions, and the modding community engagement that extends the game's cultural relevance for decades. Rockstar is not leaving that money on the table. Take-Two's six remasters and platform extensions through FY2029 certainly include the GTA 6 PC version as one of those line items.
This is the same strategy Rockstar has executed twice before. GTA V launched on PS3/Xbox 360, then re-launched on PS4/Xbox One 14 months later, then launched on PC five months after that. Each wave captured buyers who had already purchased on a previous platform, as well as new buyers waiting for their preferred platform. The staggered approach generated more total revenue than a simultaneous launch because each version had its own sales window without competing with the others.
The Forza Horizon 6 PC leak that we covered earlier this month reinforced the decision behind delayed PC launches from a piracy perspective.
When a game launches simultaneously on PC and console, the PC version is cracked and distributed within days, giving potential buyers a free alternative. When the PC version launches months or years later, the console revenue has already been captured, and the PC launch generates incremental sales from a different audience segment.
GTA 6 on PC Practical Timeline
| If You Are | What to Do | When to Expect GTA 6 |
|---|---|---|
A PC-only gamer who refuses to buy a console | Wait | Late 2027 at the earliest; mid-2028 is equally plausible |
A PC gamer with access to a PS5 or Xbox | Buy the console version on November 19; rebuy on PC later if desired | November 19, 2026 (console); late 2027+ (PC) |
A PC gamer considering buying a PS5 for this | The base PS5 with disc drive is $499.99; the total investment is ~$570 for console + game | Decide before September to avoid stock shortages |
A PC gamer who wants the modding/RP experience | Wait for PC; the RP economy, FiveM ecosystem, and Creator Platform all require PC | Late 2027+ |
PC gamers who want to play GTA 6 on launch day have one option: buy a console. PC gamers who want the full modding and RP experience have one option: wait.
Ultimately, what we're saying here is that the earnings call filing says GTA 6 on PC isn't happening anytime soon and no one should expect an announcement within the next year.
We'll know more about GTA 6 when the marketing campaign starts this summer, the pre-orders open, and pricing is confirmed. We just can't say when this will happen, but we suppose "soon" is a proper word to use. After all, other studios have already started vacating November for GTA 6.
Again. The PC version of GTA 6 is coming. It is just not coming anywhere near November 19. After the earnings call, the gap between "coming" and "here" just got wider.
