A new rumor surrounding the PC release of GTA 6 has surfaced online, sparking discussion across the gaming community. The speculation stems from a viral post shared by X user DetectiveSeeds, who claimed to have gathered insights from individuals allegedly connected to Rockstar Games. As exciting as it sounds for PC players, the claim remains unverified and should be taken with caution.
Could GTA 6 PC Release Happen in 2027? (Rumor)
According to the tweet, the source claims to have contacted former Rockstar employees and gathered limited responses about the PC version’s release window. @DetectiveSeeds wrote:
“According to 3 former Rockstar employees (that I contacted through Linkedin) Grand Theft Auto 6 is aiming to release the PC version in February 2027. All stated this timeline could shift, but Take- Two and Rockstar wanted to get the game out before end of fiscal year. I reached out to over 90 people, 3 answered me.”
If true, a February 2027 PC launch would be earlier than expected. Historically, Rockstar Games has followed a pattern of delayed PC releases. The PC version of Grand Theft Auto V was released on April 14, 2015, nearly two years (roughly 19 months) after the original PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 launch, which released on September 17, 2013. Moreover, Red Dead Redemption 2 also saw quite a delay.
Due to this pattern, fans were expecting to see the GTA 6 PC release date sometime in late 2027 or 2028. Again, take this rumor with a grain of salt since we’re looking at just one tweet. If you’d like to play the next instalment from Day 1 without relying on rumors, it’s best to get your hands on a console.

As of now, GTA 6 has been officially announced only for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and there is no confirmed PC release date. Rockstar Games and Take-Two have not commented on this rumor. While we wait for an official announcement from Rockstar, take a look at what Take-Two’s leadership has hinted about the game’s pricing in an interview.
