During a monetary name, Corsair Gaming’s VP of finance, Ronald van Veen, mentioned: “Yeah, GTA 6 might be the one everyone seems to be speaking about. And we’ll get a glimpse of that, I feel, in a while within the yr for console. My understanding now it’s going to come back out within the fall for console, after which early 2026 for PC.”
That was sufficient to spark quite a lot of headlines about Corsair’s obvious insider info on GTA 6’s launch window, however a consultant of the corporate informed IGN that Ronald van Veen’s feedback had been hypothesis, and confirmed Corsair doesn’t have launch dates equipped from Rockstar or Take-Two.
Take-Two just lately dedicated to launching GTA 6 fall 2025 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S solely, regardless of concern round a possible delay. But what does this imply for the PC model, which stays unannounced?
It’s an omission in line with developer Rockstar’s playbook for its earlier video games, however in 2025 feels outdated. And, given the growing significance of the PC for a multiplatform recreation’s success, is GTA 6’s no-show on PC a missed alternative or perhaps a mistake?

Given GTA 6’s fall 2025 launch window, it appears doubtless PC gamers received’t get to play the sport till 2026 on the earliest.
