Preparing for the GTA VI PC release? Rockstar intrigues players with launcher update

The release of GTA VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Tech enthusiasts are currently actively working with artificial intelligence to crack firmware and enable native running of console games on PC. In addition, Sony’s abandonment of game discs for PlayStation gave new impetus to emulator creators.

Some players believe that Rockstar Games / Take-Two see this and understand the need to speed up the release of Grand Theft Auto VI on PC. Recently, an indirect “signal” was discovered that may indicate the start of preparations for a PC release in the foreseeable future.

In November, the developers released an update for the Rockstar Games Launcher, “Update 1.0.110.3139”. It includes a revamped overlay with a new design, as well as expanded social features and achievement tracking capabilities. In addition, full controller support has been implemented.

Some changes and improvements:

• Added the ability to import Discord friends into the overlay using a linked Discord account.
• Added the ability to text chat with friends via the overlay.
• Added achievement rarity display in the overlay.
• Added the ability to track achievement progress in Red Dead Redemption 2 via the overlay.
• Added “streamer mode”, which disables certain overlay features, including the friends list, text chat, and purchase screens, to avoid disclosing sensitive data.
• Improved overlay rendering performance.
