Grand Theft Auto 6 remains officially confirmed only for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a console launch expected in approximately two months. A journalist with a history of accurate Rockstar reporting claims to have heard internal activity regarding a PC port, but Rockstar has not announced any PC release date. One report suggests rising console prices may pressure Rockstar to accelerate the PC timeline beyond the traditional year-long gap, though this causal link is unverified. Previous Rockstar titles typically launched on PC months or years after their console debuts.
Miami-Dade County's mayor has proposed a promotional event with Rockstar Games that would transform parts of the county into real-world versions of Grand Theft Auto VI's fictional Vice City, including branded airport signage and custom-painted aircraft.

Reports differ on whether the police department or the sheriff's office is leading the criticism, and on whether the mayor is actively lobbying Rockstar or has merely floated the concept. No agreement between the county and Rockstar has been confirmed.

The reports differ on whether the sales bump affected both platforms or only Xbox, and on the precise sourcing of the figures. Rockstar has confirmed GTA 6 for a 2025 release window.
