GTA 6 PC release date leaks, and it’s much sooner than we thought

GTA 6 is scheduled to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026. A potential PC version may be released as early as February 2027, according to claims from three individuals with alleged ties to Rockstar. Rockstar aims to release the PC version before the end of the fiscal year. Historically, the gap between console and PC releases for Rockstar games has been significant, with previous titles like GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 experiencing delays of nearly two years and one year, respectively. Take-Two's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, stated that Rockstar prefers to launch games on consoles first to serve the core consumer.

New God of War game likely won’t come to PC

Sony announced a new installment in the God of War franchise titled God of War Laufey, focusing on Kratos' late wife, Faye, and exploring themes of loss and legacy.

No official release date has been provided, but it is anticipated to launch soon, potentially timed to avoid competition with Grand Theft Auto 6, which will also be exclusive to Xbox and PlayStation.

Currently, GTA VI is confirmed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, but there has been no official announcement regarding a PC version. Historically, Rockstar Games has released PC ports of major titles about a year after their console launches.

6 months before the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar employees in the UK have formed a union

Rockstar Games terminated 31 employees in October 2025, with the dismissed workers claiming their firings were due to their efforts to unionize, a claim Rockstar denies, stating the terminations were due to the disclosure of unannounced game features. A new union, affiliated with the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB), has formed among Rockstar employees to advocate for the rights of the terminated workers and has initiated legal action against the company. The union is focusing on issues such as pay transparency, flexible working conditions, and an end to "crunch" culture. The IWGB is also raising funds for its legal case and aims to secure justice for the fired workers. Meanwhile, Take-Two Interactive has projected revenues exceeding billion for the 2027 fiscal year, largely due to the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto 6.

Path of Exile 2’s 1.0 release won’t need to accommodate other game releases, director says—except GTA 6: ‘That’s a Goliath I don’t want to take on quite frankly’

Jonathan Rogers, the director of Path of Exile, discussed his approach to scheduling major updates for the game, noting that the timing of other game releases rarely affects their schedule. He emphasized the strong relationship with the community, stating that they would face backlash if they delayed updates due to other game launches. Path of Exile 2 is expected to release around the same time as Grand Theft Auto 6, which launches on November 19. While Rogers does not plan to delay Path of Exile 2, he recognizes the significance of GTA 6's release. He believes that a slight buffer between the two games could help maintain momentum for Path of Exile 2. Chris Wilson, co-creator of Path of Exile, humorously compared the situation to a "David versus Goliath" dynamic, to which Rogers acknowledged the challenge posed by Rockstar Games.
