GTA 6 launches Nov 19 on console only - as a PC-only player, do I wait or buy a console?
GTA 6 launches November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S only. Rockstar still hasn't announced a PC version at all - no date, no store page, no system requirements. GamesBeat reported back in October that a PC version is planned for Q1 2027, but Rockstar hasn't confirmed that either. I'm PC-only and don't own a current console. For people who've been through Rockstar's console-first launches before: is waiting for the PC port the sane move, or is buying a PS5 just for GTA 6 actually worth it when the game drops next week?

- Wait for the PC version, don't buy a console for one game
Rockstar has done this every time - console first, PC months later, and the PC version ends up the better one with mods and better performance. A PS5 is $500 for one game you'll replay on PC anyway in a few months. The Q1 2027 report has four sources behind it, and even if it slips, you're out nothing by waiting. Spend the money on the PC version when it actually exists.
