Former Rockstar Director Says AI Could Speed GTA 6 PC Release

Former Rockstar North technical director Obbe Vermeij said the prospect of unofficial AI-assisted ports could lead Rockstar to release Grand Theft Auto 6 on PC closer to its console launch, but stressed that he does not know the company’s plans.

Vermeij said an unofficial port made by adapting the PlayStation 5 version could be inferior to an official release while still affecting sales. He said he would not be surprised if Rockstar sought to narrow the gap between versions. His comments were speculation, not confirmation of a change to the company’s release strategy.

Rockstar has scheduled Grand Theft Auto 6 for release on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The company has not announced a PC version or its release date. A possible early-2027 PC release has circulated as a rumor, not an official schedule.

Vermeij said current generative AI tools might be capable of helping create an unofficial PC port, though he estimated the work would take many hours and could cost tens of thousands of dollars in tokens. He said he thought people might try it because the game is Grand Theft Auto. The reports do not establish that anyone has made such a port.
