Grand Theft Auto VI, an eighth mainline installment of the popular action-adventure video game franchise from Rockstar Games that publisher Take-Two plans to launch exclusively for consoles (i.e., PS5 and Xbox Series X|S) later this year, will be released for PC in early 2026, according to statements that Ronald van Veen, Corsair’s Vice President of Finance and Investor Relations, shared during an earnings conference call that took place on February 12.
“Yeah, GTA 6 is probably the one everyone is talking about,” van Veen said at one point during the call after being asked about whether there were any upcoming games that might spur the purchases of PC peripherals and/or components. The executive then goes on to allude to an earlier-than-expected release for Rockstar’s latest game: “We’ll get a glimpse of that, I think, later on in the year for console. My understanding now it’s going to come out in the fall for console, and then early ’26 for PC.”
“50 Series Blackwell GPUs are out and shipping. Enthusiasts are lining up to buy components from us to support these GPU cards. And GTA 6, the most anticipated and hardware demanding game is now in sight, although still likely a year away,” added Andy Paul, Corsair’s founder and CEO, who announced this month that he would be retiring from the company in July 2025. “Our gaming business has never looked so strong. And we are well into the integration of the Fanatec sim racing company.”
“Grand Theft Auto VI continues our efforts to push the limits of what’s possible in highly immersive, story-driven open-world experiences,” Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games, said during the game’s announcement in December 2023. “We’re thrilled to be able to share this new vision with players everywhere.”
