Grand Theft Auto VI is coming, and the two groups Rockstar is making wait the longest are PC players and Mac players. This site exists to give you one honest answer to every GTA 6 PC and Mac question: we state plainly what Rockstar has officially confirmed, we label every leak as a leak, and we mark every projection as an estimate. No invented dates, no fake specs, no rumour dressed up as fact.
Here is the short version. GTA 6 has a confirmed console release date of 19 November 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only. Rockstar has not announced a PC version, a Mac version, a PC release date, system requirements, a price for PC, or a storefront. Anything you read claiming otherwise is unverified. So if you are asking "will GTA 6 be on PC?" or "is GTA 6 coming to Mac?", the truthful answer today is: almost certainly yes for PC eventually, based on Rockstar's history, but nothing is official yet, and there is no native Mac version on the horizon.
What Rockstar has actually confirmed
These are the facts you can rely on, because Rockstar Games has shown or stated them officially through its trailers and the Rockstar Newswire. Everything in this section carries the Confirmed badge across the site.
| Detail | Status | What Rockstar confirmed |
|---|---|---|
| Release date | Confirmed | 19 November 2026 |
| Platforms at launch | Confirmed | PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S |
| Console pre-orders | Confirmed | Opened 25 June 2026 (console editions) |
| Setting | Confirmed | The state of Leonida, home to Vice City |
| Lead characters | Confirmed | Lucia and Jason |
| PC version | Not announced | No date, no specs, no confirmation |
| Mac version | Not announced | No native Mac release planned or stated |
GTA 6 is set in the fictional state of Leonida, a modern take on Florida, with Vice City at its centre. The story follows two protagonists, Lucia and Jason, shown across Rockstar's official trailers. Console pre-orders open on 25 June 2026 for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S editions. That pre-order is for the consoles only. There is no PC pre-order, and there is no PC price, because there is no announced PC edition to buy yet.
Will GTA 6 come to PC? What history tells us
Rockstar has a long, consistent pattern of bringing its biggest games to PC after the console launch, and that pattern is the only honest basis for any PC prediction. We never present it as a Rockstar promise.
- GTA V launched on consoles in September 2013 and arrived on PC in April 2015, a gap of about 18 months.
- Red Dead Redemption 2 launched on consoles in October 2018 and reached PC in November 2019, a gap of roughly 13 months.
Following that pattern, a GTA 6 PC version would plausibly land somewhere in 2027 or 2028. That is an Estimate, a projection from real release dates, not an announcement. Our GTA 6 PC release date page walks through the math in full and includes a live tracker that counts the days since the console launch against this historical gap.
Is GTA 6 coming to Mac?
This is the question the big console-focused sites tend to skip, so here is the direct answer: there is no native macOS version of GTA 6 announced, and none is expected. Rockstar has not shipped a major new title natively on Mac in years, and nothing about GTA 6 suggests that will change. Anyone telling you a Mac release is "confirmed" is wrong.
That does not mean Mac and MacBook owners are locked out forever. The realistic route is cloud gaming, streaming a remote Windows PC or console so the game runs in a data centre and only video reaches your Mac. Once a PC version exists, services in the style of a virtual cloud PC become the most likely way to play on a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. We cover the honest options, and their caveats, on GTA 6 on Mac and the step-by-step how to play GTA 6 on Mac guide.
Plan your PC now, without guessing
You cannot pre-order a GTA 6 PC copy yet, but you can get your hardware ready sensibly. Because GTA 6 streams a vast open world, an NVMe SSD is effectively a requirement on any modern platform, a pattern that has held for every recent open-world Rockstar title. Beyond that, treat all specific numbers as estimates until Rockstar publishes real system requirements.

How this site labels information
Trust is the whole point here, so the system is simple and used on every page:
- Confirmed means Rockstar has officially shown or stated it. The release date, platforms, setting and characters are confirmed.
- Leak / rumour means it comes from leaks, insiders or speculation and is unverified. We never attribute these to Rockstar.
- Estimate means it is our projection from real, prior data, such as GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 release dates and file sizes. It is reasoning, not a Rockstar announcement.
