Pachter says GTA 6 PC is 6 to 7 months away

Michael Pachter of Wedbush Securities said in an interview with BBC News that GTA 6 would arrive on PC roughly six or seven months after launch, as reported by Tech4Gamers and Beebom on October 27, 2026. Beebom placed the remark within a discussion of how the game might affect Sony's PlayStation business.

Beebom pointed out that other sources had earlier suggested a PC version around early to mid 2027. It also linked Pachter's timeline to a GamesBeat piece from October 13, which claimed Rockstar intends to bring the game to PC only a few months after its November 19 debut. Beebom wondered whether Pachter had drawn on that report, but did not establish a connection.

At present the game is set for PS5 and Xbox Series X and S alone on November 19, 2026, per Beebom. Tech4Gamers noted that Rockstar has made no official statement about PC, and that the studio usually needs a year or longer to bring its titles to the platform, so a quicker port would break with that habit.

Rockstar has not announced a PC release date, so the timing cited by Pachter and GamesBeat remains unverified.
