Corsair Clarifies Its Lack of Insider Information on GTA 6’s PC Release
Corsair has addressed speculation regarding its knowledge of Grand Theft Auto 6’s PC release window following comments from its Vice President of Finance. With over a decade since GTA 5’s launch, fans are eager to know when the next installment will arrive on all platforms. Recent remarks suggested Corsair might have insider details about the PC port, prompting the company to set the record straight.
During a February 2025 earnings call, Finance VP Ronald van Veen stated that he expected GTA 6 to release on PC in early 2026. This timeline seemed unusually short, given that past GTA titles took over six months to arrive on PC after launching on consoles. Rockstar had yet to announce an official PC release window, leading many to question whether Corsair had inside information as a prominent PC gaming company.
However, in a statement to IGN, a Corsair representative clarified that van Veen’s comments were purely speculative. The company confirmed it had no direct knowledge from Rockstar or Take-Two Interactive regarding the game’s release schedule. So far, the only certainty is that the PC version will arrive after the console launch. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has previously explained that GTA games initially skip PC to maximize console sales before expanding to a broader market.
Given that GTA 5 took over a year and a half to reach PC, an early 2026 release for GTA 6 would be a faster turnaround. That said, today’s PC gaming landscape is larger and more established than it was in the past. Meanwhile, other Take-Two franchises are shifting their approach—Civilization 7, for instance, is set for a simultaneous PC and console launch for the first time in series history. Whether this signals a shorter wait for GTA 6’s PC release or indicates a stronger focus on consoles remains unclear.
Details about the eventual PC version also remain uncertain. Rumors suggest GTA 6 could feature user-generated content, which would naturally align with PC gaming. However, any speculation about modding or additional features remains just that—speculation.
