GTA VI PC: how to play on a PC screen when there's no PC version

GTA VI isn't on PC yet, but you can still get it onto a PC screen at launch using PS Remote Play or the Xbox app. Here's how, plus why fake PC downloads are dangerous.

Sources checked:

There's no GTA VI PC version at launch. Rockstar has only released the game on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. But if you own one of those consoles, you can stream GTA VI to a Windows PC or Mac using Sony's PS Remote Play or Microsoft's Xbox app. It isn't the same as a native PC release, but it works for playing at a desk or on a laptop. Here's how, and what to avoid.

Key Takeaways

  • GTA VI has no PC version. Rockstar hasn't announced one.
  • PS5 owners can stream to PC with PS Remote Play.
  • Xbox Series X|S owners can stream to PC with the Xbox app's remote play.
  • Streaming quality depends on your home network. Wired is best.
  • Any "GTA VI PC download" is fake and potentially malicious.

Is GTA VI on PC?

No. GTA VI launches November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. Based on Rockstar's history, a PC version is likely to follow later, possibly in 2027 or beyond, but nothing is announced. Our GTA VI PC release date guide covers the timeline.

Option 1: PS Remote Play (PS5 to PC)

  1. On your PS5, turn on Remote Play in Settings, under System, then Remote Play.
  2. Install the PS Remote Play app on your Windows PC or Mac and sign in with the same PlayStation account.
  3. Connect a DualSense controller to the PC by USB or Bluetooth.
  4. Launch GTA VI on the PS5 through the app and play on your PC screen.

Option 2: Xbox App Remote Play (Xbox to PC)

  1. On your Xbox, enable remote features under Settings, then Devices and connections, then Remote features.
  2. Open the Xbox app on your Windows PC and sign in with the same account.
  3. Choose your console and select remote play.
  4. Connect an Xbox controller to the PC and launch GTA VI.

Whether GTA VI will also be streamable through Xbox Cloud Gaming isn't confirmed, so don't count on it.

How Good Is Streaming for GTA VI?

Remote play streams video from your console, so image quality is lower than playing on the console directly, and there's a small input delay. For story missions and exploring, it's fine. For fast driving and shooting, you'll notice it more. Connect your console to your router with an ethernet cable, use 5 GHz Wi-Fi or a cable on the PC, and keep both devices on the same network for the best results.

Avoid Fake GTA VI PC Downloads

Search for "GTA VI PC" and you'll find download links, "beta" installers and "leaked builds". None are real. They're used to spread malware and steal account details. The only legitimate ways to play GTA VI right now are on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Our GTA 6 download guide explains how to download safely.
