Summary
Corsair has clarified how much insider information it has regardingGrand Theft Auto 6’s PC release window after comments from its Vice President of Finance. It’s been more than 10 years since the release ofGTA 5, so fans are eager to see when the next game will finally be available on all platforms. Earlier comments made it seem like Corsair knew something the public didn’t about the PC port ofGrand Theft Auto 6, sparking enough of a conversation for the company to feel the need to follow up on it.
Finance VP Ronald van Veen stated that heexpectedGTA 6to come to PC in early 2026in a February 2025 earnings call. That would mean the game would move beyond consoles quicker than many expected, as previous titles took over six months to land on PC. Rockstar itself had not commented on a likely release timeline for the PC port, so the comment made many people wonder if Corsair, as a PC gaming company, had inside information on the game’s development.
In a comment to IGN, a Corsair representativeclarified that van Veen’s comments were mere speculationand that the company had not heard any information from Rockstar or Take-Two Interactive about the game’s release window. The only thing fans know for sure about the PC release is that it will come after the game drops on consoles. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has stated thatit’s standard practice forGTAtitles to skip PC at launchbecause the games tend to drive console sales. Focusing on Xbox and PlayStation first helps Rockstar capitalize on that opportunity early before expanding to the PC market.
Corsair Confirms It Does Not Have Insider Information About GTA 6’s PC Release
It tookGrand Theft Auto 5over a year and a half to make it to PC after releasing on consoles, so an early 2026 timeline certainly seems optimistic in light of the game’s targeted Fall 2025 debut. Of course, the PC environment today represents a larger player base and a more mature market than it did in the past. At the same time, other Take-Two properties have gone in the opposite direction, withCivilization 7getting a simultaneous launch on PC and consolesfor the first time in series history.Civtitles have historically come to PC first, so it’s unclear if this improvesGTA 6’s chances of a narrow PC release window or if it suggests the studios think the console market is stronger right now.
What the eventual PC version will entail is also uncertain for now. There’s a rumor thatGTA 6could include user-generated content, and such a mechanic would lend itself to PC, but the possibility of modding is just speculation at this point. Fans can tune into Rockstar’s officialGTA 6Discord server to learn more in the meantime.
