The question everyone with a 4080 is asking. Short answer: almost certainly yes, but not at launch, and probably not before late 2027.
Rockstar's track record is remarkably consistent:
The gap has been getting longer, not shorter, because the double-dip strategy works — plenty of people buy the console version at launch and the PC version again later.
So if GTA 6 hits consoles November 19, 2026, a PC port somewhere between late 2027 and 2028 fits the pattern. Take-Two has dodged every direct question about it, which is exactly what they did with GTA 5 and RDR2 before announcing the ports.
My advice as someone who waited both times: if you have a PS5 or Series X available, just play it there. Waiting 12+ months while the whole internet discusses the story is misery. Ask anyone who tried to avoid RDR2 spoilers for a year.
