FAQ: GTA 6 PC Release Date Is Being Delayed on Purpose, Says Take-Two CEO

Why is GTA 6's PC release being delayed?

According to Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, the PC release is being delayed on purpose — not due to a Sony exclusivity deal — to ensure Rockstar can 'serve the core consumer first and best.' Console players on PS5 and Xbox Series X are considered the primary audience.

Does Sony have a GTA 6 exclusivity deal?

Yes. Zelnick confirmed that Sony PlayStation has marketing exclusivity for GTA 6 on PS5, meaning new trailers and promotional material will appear on PlayStation platforms first. However, the game is also coming to Xbox on day one, so there is no content exclusivity.

When will GTA 6 be available on PC?

Rockstar has not confirmed a specific PC release date yet. Following the November 2026 console launch, a PC version is expected to follow — consistent with past Rockstar release patterns for titles like GTA V.

Has Rockstar confirmed GTA 6 will release on November 19, 2026?

Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive have officially confirmed November 19, 2026, as the release date, though fans remain watchful for any last-minute changes given the game's history of delays.
