据报道《GTA VI》PC 版锁定 Q1 2027 发售

Grand Theft Auto VI could arrive on PC much sooner than expected, with a new report claiming that Rockstar Games is targeting a Q1 2027 release window for the highly anticipated PC version.

According to a new GamesBeat report published on October 13, Rockstar plans to launch GTA VI on PC within the first three months of 2027. The information reportedly comes from four industry sources familiar with the studio’s plans, all of whom requested anonymity to protect their business relationships.

If accurate, this would place the PC release sometime between January and March 2027, less than five months after the game’s scheduled console launch on November 19, 2026.

That would represent a significant departure from Rockstar’s traditional release strategy, which has historically seen its biggest games arrive on consoles well before receiving PC versions.

For comparison, Grand Theft Auto V originally launched on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in September 2013, while its PC version did not arrive until April 14, 2015, approximately 19 months later.

Similarly, Red Dead Redemption 2 launched on consoles in October 2018 before receiving its PC release on November 5, 2019, more than a year afterward.

Should the latest report prove accurate, GTA VI would have one of the shortest gaps between console and PC releases for a major Rockstar title.

The report also points to the growing importance of PC gaming and user-generated content to Rockstar’s long-term plans. In August 2023, Rockstar acquired Cfx.re, the team behind FiveM and RedM, which power dedicated roleplaying servers for GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2.

With roleplaying communities having become a significant part of GTA V’s PC ecosystem, an earlier PC release could allow Rockstar to expand GTA VI’s audience and eventually support similar community-driven experiences. However, the company has not officially announced GTA VI roleplaying servers or confirmed when such features might become available.

The possibility of an earlier PC launch is particularly noteworthy given the enormous anticipation surrounding GTA VI. Rockstar has already delayed the game twice, initially moving it from its original 2025 window to May 2026 before pushing the release to November.

Despite those delays, Rockstar officially maintains November 19, 2026, as the release date for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The developer has also opened pre-orders for both console platforms, with the Standard Edition priced at $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition available for $99.99. However, PC pre-orders, pricing, system requirements, and digital storefront availability have not been announced.

For now, PC players will need to wait for an official announcement. However, if Rockstar follows the reported schedule, GTA VI could arrive on PC as early as January 2027, substantially sooner than previous Rockstar releases would have suggested.
