Analyst Says GTA 6 Comes to PC in “About 6 or 7 Months”
Short answer: Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter told BBC News that GTA 6 should come to PC “in about 6 or 7 months” after the 19 November console launch. That would be around May or June 2027. Rockstar has not announced a PC date, so this is only a prediction.

Update (28 Oct 2026): Unconfirmed Bank of America also told investors that a PC version could arrive in the first quarter of 2027 (January to March), around the same time as a new GTA Online, as reported by GameSpot. Notebookcheck and TheGamer also picked up the “PC by May 2027” talk. Rockstar still has not announced a PC date. Read more: GTA 6 Online could arrive in early 2027.
Unconfirmed In an interview with BBC News, reported by Insider Gaming, Michael Pachter of Wedbush Securities said GTA 6 is not a PlayStation exclusive. It also comes to Xbox Series X|S, and “in about 6 or 7 months it will come out on PC”. He added that, at launch, people need a console to play it.
Six or seven months after 19 November 2026 would be around May or June 2027.
Is this real? Unconfirmed, only a claim so far
Who said it: Michael Pachter, Wedbush analyst, on BBC News. Sources: Insider Gaming, BBC interview. Our view: This is a prediction from an analyst. Rockstar has not announced a PC version date. Checked: 28 Oct 2026.
Should PC players believe it?
Take it as a guess, not a date. Rockstar has only confirmed PS5 and Xbox Series X|S for 19 November. Pachter is a well-known analyst, but his predictions are not always right. For comparison, GTA 5 came to PC about 19 months after its console launch. Other reports have pointed to early 2027 for PC, which is close to Pachter’s guess.
