Grand Theft Auto 6 releases on November 19, 2026… but not on PC. When is the biggest game in history actually coming to PC? Who knows? More importantly… who even cares?
We don't need GTA 6 on PC because we've got something that promises to be just as big launching the same day. That's right, brace yourself for the highly-anticipated arrival of the self-described "entertainment blockbuster" called, um… Phantom Vice Auto. And it's releasing on Steam on November 19.
Hell yes, fellow PC Gamers! We are going to eat on November 19. I've already forgotten about GTA 6 because the trailer above shows that PVA 1 has everything you could want from an open world action game:
What's not to get excited about? Phantom Vice Auto has it all: nearly empty streets for hassle-free driving, a slick radial menu for guns that definitely isn't going to get them C&D'd by Take-Two, the word "Wasted" on the screen when you get killed (how'd they think of that???), a small section of map featuring beach and palm trees that makes you think "Miami, I guess?"—all packed into a trailer that looks like it's 720p even when played in 4K.
That's not all. Sure, Rockstar released 63 new GTA screenshots last week, but so what? Phantom Vice Auto has five screenshots. Let's look at all of them right now and dig into the thrilling details!
Hell yeah! PVA has a pedestrian system! Just look at all those pedestrians. Both of them! And way, way off in the distance, do you see what I see? A third pedestrian, no doubt part of the same system. You think Rockstar has a pedestrian system? Haha, nope!
Well, I mean, they do. They have for like almost 30 years now. But PVA also has one, and that's definitely notable enough that it should be highlighted in the game's very first screenshot on the Steam store. Checkmate, Rockstar!

Look at this screenshot! I don't know what it is, but it's something! I suspect it shows all the moving parts of these models that were presumably purchased from an asset shop, and that's a lot of moving parts: neck, shoulder, gun part, knee, trigger… mouth, gun part, elbow, pelvis.
