This guide answers the question "Is GTA VI (GTA 6) available on PC?" using only Rockstar Games' official announcements. It also explains how to spot a fake "GTA VI PC" offer. The information was checked on Rockstar's official website on October 26, 2026 and may change: the official page always takes precedence.
Problem
- You are looking for GTA VI on Steam, Epic Games or the Rockstar Games Launcher and can't find it.
- You see websites, videos or messages offering a "PC download", a "PC beta" or "minimum requirements" for GTA VI.
What Rockstar officially announces
On the official Grand Theft Auto VI page, checked on October 26, 2026:
| Item | Official announcement |
|---|---|
| Release date | November 19, 2026 |
| Announced platforms | PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S |
| Additional mention | "Plays best on PlayStation 5" |
| Pre-order | Open, with an Ultimate Edition and a pre-order bonus (Vintage Vice City Pack) |
| PC version | No PC version is announced on the official page |
The launch trailer, released on October 15, 2026 and shared on the Rockstar Newswire, does not change these platforms.
Practical consequences:
- There is no official PC date and no official PC minimum requirements. Any such figures circulating do not come from Rockstar.
- PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are not among the announced platforms.
- PC-specific technical issues for GTA VI can't be documented yet: there is no PC version to troubleshoot.
Check an announcement before believing it
When to use it: whenever you read that a PC version has been "released", "leaked" or "announced".
Suggested solution
- Open the official GTA VI page and look at the platforms shown near the pre-order button.
- Check the Rockstar Newswire, where the publisher posts its announcements.
- If PC does not appear on either page, treat the information as unconfirmed.
Expected result: you know whether a PC announcement is official or just a rumour.
Don't install a fake "GTA VI PC"
When to use it: if a website, video or message offers to download GTA VI on PC, an "installer", a "crack" or a "beta".
Since Rockstar has not announced any PC version, such a file cannot be the official game. These offers are often used to spread malware or steal accounts.
Suggested solution
- Don't download the file and don't enter any credentials (Rockstar Games, Steam, Epic, Discord account) on these sites.
- If Windows shows a SmartScreen warning when opening such a file, don't bypass it: see the guide SmartScreen alert "Windows protected your PC": what to do (French guide).
- If you have already run such a file, open Windows Security > Virus & threat protection and run a scan: Virus and Threat Protection in the Windows Security App.
- In that case, also change, from another clean device, the passwords of the accounts used on this PC, starting with your email, and turn on two-step verification where available.
Expected result: no suspicious file is run, or the Windows Security scan no longer reports a threat and your accounts are secured.
A low number of detections on an online scanning site does not prove a file is safe. For a so-called "GTA VI PC", the only reliable check is Rockstar's official announcement.
Meanwhile, on PC?
On PC, the series is still represented by GTA V and GTA Online. For their issues, use the forum's Grand Theft Auto and GTA Online sections (French).
