Fake keys, betas and downloads
Scammers are already selling and seeding a PC version that doesn't exist. Three security firms reported on it this year:
- Fake installers
Huntress took apart a fake GTA 6 disc image whose installer drops two kinds of remote-access tool, a password stealer and ransomware that encrypts or destroys files. Help Net Security, 10 September
- Fake demo sites
Malwarebytes found Rockstar-branded "GTA 6 demo" pages serving a password stealer. Its verdict: "there is no legitimate GTA 6 demo or PC build to download". Malwarebytes, 24 August
- Fake beta keys
NordVPN found scam sites promising GTA 6 console beta keys, malware hidden in PC installers on cloned repack sites, and Android "GTA 6 Beta" adware. Notebookcheck, 26 May
Rockstar has announced its past PC versions on its Newswire, and its Steam pages are published under Rockstar's own name. Until it announces this one, any GTA 6 PC key is fake.
Where Rockstar's PC games were sold at launch
- GTA VDigital pre-orders, including on Steam, opened on 16 January.Steam day one
- Red Dead Redemption 2On Steam on 5 December. It launched on Rockstar's launcher and Epic first.A month late
- GTA Trilogy: Definitive EditionOn Steam on 19 January 2023. Rockstar's launcher only until then.14 months late
- Red Dead RedemptionOn Steam, Epic and the Rockstar Store.Steam day one
- GTA V EnhancedOn Steam, Epic and Rockstar's launcher.Steam day one
Dates from Rockstar's Newswire and Steam.
Rockstar's two most recent PC releases were on Steam the first day, so that's the likeliest outcome, though Rockstar hasn't said so.
Red Dead Redemption 2 also shows how short the notice can be. Rockstar announced its PC version on 4 October 2019, opened pre-purchases on its own launcher five days later, and released it on 5 November.
What it might cost
- Console, standard$79.99
£69.99 or €79.99 on the PlayStation Store.
- Console, Ultimate Edition$99.99
PlayStation Store, US price.
- PCNot given
Rockstar hasn't given a PC price. Red Dead Redemption 2 was $59.99 on Steam at launch in 2019.
Steam Deck and Steam Machine
GTA 6 can't be tested on a Deck yet. Rockstar's current PC games give some idea:
- GTA VUnsupported
Valve's rating for both versions, on the Steam Deck and the Steam Machine, because of anti-cheat.
- Red Dead Redemption 2Playable
On the Deck. Valve flags launcher issues and small text, but no anti-cheat problem.
- Steam Machine vs Deck6 times the power
Valve says its Steam Machine has "over six times the horsepower of Steam Deck". The Deck has a 4-core processor and a 1.6-teraflop graphics chip.
"Steam Deck does not support BattlEye for GTA Online. You will be able to play GTAV Story Mode but unable to play GTA Online."Rockstar Support
Our read: a Steam Machine should have the power for a GTA 6 PC version, and a Deck is doubtful. Both run SteamOS, so GTA 6's online mode would depend on Rockstar allowing its anti-cheat to work there, which it doesn't for GTA Online today.
