Former Rockstar technical director Obbe Vermeij told Rock Paper Shotgun that AI-assisted reverse-engineering tools could let third parties convert the PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto VI into a playable PC version without Rockstar's involvement.

Reports suggest Rockstar is currently targeting a first-quarter 2027 PC release for the game.
