Zelnick won't say if GTA 6 gets a PC version or a disc
Updated

Take-Two neither confirms nor rules out GTA 6 on PC, Switch 2 or a disc edition. Zelnick says Rockstar Games will announce any news itself.
Take-Two hasn't confirmed or ruled out GTA 6 on PC, on Nintendo Switch 2 or as a disc edition, so for now the only way in is a code box for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Vandal reports it after Take-Two's earnings call on November 9, and Rockstar hasn't said a word.
The GTA 6 boxes that go on sale on November 12 contain only a download code, and Rockstar Games hasn't announced a PC version. With the November 19 launch this close, both questions are still open. Strauss Zelnick faced them on the call and left them there.
Is GTA 6 coming to PC or on disc?
Not yet, and Take-Two isn't saying no either.
Not yet, and Take-Two isn't saying no either. Vandal reports that Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, was asked during the results presentation about a PC version, a disc edition and GTA 6 reaching Nintendo Switch 2.
Zelnick gave no plans. His answer, as Vandal relays it, was that information always comes from the company's labels. Here the label is Rockstar, which will be the one to announce platforms and editions. Take-Two also gave no hint of when that might happen.

What Rockstar did with GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2
Rockstar has launched on consoles first before.
Rockstar has launched on consoles first before. Vandal recalls that PC players waited roughly a year and a half for GTA V and a little over a year for Red Dead Redemption 2. For perspective, that pattern makes a later GTA 6 PC release a fair guess, but it isn't a confirmation and it comes with no date.
GamesBeat, an industry news site, reported on October 13 that the PC version is slated for the first quarter of 2027. Rockstar hasn't announced it. Xbox also clarified on October 8 that GTA 6 won't be playable on PC through cloud gaming at launch.

What's in the physical GTA 6 box?
The box holds a code for a digital license, not an installation disc.
The box holds a code for a digital license, not an installation disc. According to 3DJuegos Guías, you can buy it in stores or online and redeem the code on PlayStation Store or the Xbox store, depending on your version. The code box goes on sale on November 12, the same day preloading starts, per Rockstar.
There's a practical upside. Any pre-order or purchase before November 20, physical or digital, includes the Vintage Vice City Pack, with Jason's linen suit and a classic sedan, according to 3DJuegos Guías. Picking the box doesn't cost you that bonus, and it's tied to Vice City style from the first day.

- 79.99
- Euros or dollars; base game, no DLC
- Ultimate Edition

Vandal says a traditional disc edition remains possible, but Zelnick's words don't confirm one.
For now, only PS5 and Xbox Series X|S
The only thing confirmed on platforms and editions is GTA 6 on November 19, 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The only thing confirmed on platforms and editions is GTA 6 on November 19, 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. If you play on PC, there's no date and no announcement. Vandal mentions disappointment among players who prefer collecting physical copies, but there's no other edition today.
There's no word on a Nintendo Switch 2 version either, and Take-Two gave no hints.
Rockstar holds the next clue
Rockstar has to announce any PC version, disc or Switch 2 release, and it hasn't given a date for any of them.
Rockstar has to announce any PC version, disc or Switch 2 release, and it hasn't given a date for any of them. The next fixed point is November 19, when the game launches on consoles. If Rockstar says anything sooner, its Newswire is where it did it for pre-orders. If you plan to grab the code box, you have until November 20 to get the Vintage Pack.
