GTA 6 System Requirements

Rockstar Games has not published PC system requirements for Grand Theft Auto VI. As of May 2026, the game is confirmed only for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A PC version has not been announced, dated, or specced. Any “minimum” or “recommended” requirements circulating online are unofficial estimates extrapolated from the console hardware, not statements from Rockstar.

Current status

Rockstar’s official product page for Grand Theft Auto VI lists PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S as the supported platforms. There is no PC listing, no Steam page, no Epic Games Store page, and no Rockstar Games Launcher entry for the title. Take-Two Interactive’s investor materials likewise reference the console launch without disclosing PC timing.

This mirrors Rockstar’s historical pattern. Grand Theft Auto V shipped on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in September 2013, followed by PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in November 2014, and finally PC in April 2015 — a roughly 18-month gap between the initial console launch and the PC release. Red Dead Redemption 2 followed a similar pattern, with PC arriving about 13 months after consoles.

If Rockstar holds to that cadence, a GTA 6 PC release would arrive sometime after the console launch, with system requirements published in the weeks leading up to that release — not before.

Why no PC requirements exist yet

Publishing minimum and recommended specs requires Rockstar to have:

1. Finalized PC-specific rendering features (DLSS, FSR, ray-tracing options, ultrawide support, uncapped frame rates).
2. Run internal benchmarks across reference hardware configurations.
3. Locked a release window so the spec sheet reflects shipping driver and OS baselines.

None of those have been signaled publicly. Until a PC version is officially announced, any spec sheet purporting to be the “official GTA 6 requirements” is fabricated.

What console hardware tells us

While not a substitute for an official spec sheet, the confirmed console targets establish a reasonable performance floor. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X ship with custom AMD Zen 2 CPUs, RDNA 2 GPUs in the 10–12 TFLOPS range, 16 GB of unified GDDR6 memory, and NVMe SSDs as the primary storage. The Xbox Series S is the weakest current-gen console target, with roughly 4 TFLOPS of GPU performance and 10 GB of total memory.

A PC port that targets parity with Series X performance modes would, historically, ask for the following class of hardware as a recommended tier — emphasis on extrapolation, not announcement:

Component	Console reference (PS5 / Series X)	Likely PC equivalent class
CPU	Custom AMD Zen 2, 8 cores @ ~3.5 GHz	6–8 core desktop CPU, recent generation
GPU	Custom RDNA 2, ~10–12 TFLOPS	Mid-to-upper midrange discrete GPU
Memory	16 GB unified GDDR6	16 GB system RAM + dedicated VRAM
Storage	NVMe SSD, ~825 GB–1 TB	NVMe SSD strongly recommended
OS	Console firmware	Modern Windows release

Again: Rockstar has not confirmed any of the PC equivalents above. They are inferred from public console specifications and Rockstar’s prior PC ports, both of which have historically scaled cleanly across a wide range of PC hardware once the launch window was reached.

Storage and install size

Rockstar has not disclosed the install size of Grand Theft Auto VI on any platform. Comparable titles offer rough context: Red Dead Redemption 2 shipped at roughly 150 GB on PC, and GTA V with Online expanded past 100 GB after years of updates. Given GTA 6’s two-protagonist structure, expanded state of Leonida, and modern asset fidelity, a triple-digit install footprint is a reasonable expectation — but, again, not an announced figure.

NVMe SSD storage is effectively a hard requirement on the confirmed console platforms, since both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S use SSDs for primary game storage. Any future PC release would almost certainly recommend SSD storage on the same grounds, even if it does not strictly require it.

Historical context: GTA V’s PC requirements

For perspective on the kind of spec sheet to expect when one eventually publishes, GTA V’s official PC minimums at its April 2015 launch called for an Intel Core 2 Quad or AMD Phenom 9850, 4 GB of RAM, and a 1 GB GPU such as a GeForce 9800 GT. The recommended tier asked for a quad-core Core i5, 8 GB of RAM, and a 2 GB GPU such as a GeForce GTX 660. Both tiers were calibrated against the original PlayStation 3 / Xbox 360 build, with the PS4 / Xbox One generation as the upper target.

GTA 6’s PC requirements, whenever they appear, will be calibrated against PS5 / Series X performance modes. That implies a meaningfully higher floor than GTA V’s, but Rockstar’s historical scaling has been generous — players on older mid-range hardware should not assume the game will be locked out without an explicit announcement.

What to watch next

Three signals would mark the point at which real, citeable PC system requirements become available:

• A Rockstar Newswire post explicitly announcing a PC version and release window.
• A Steam, Epic Games Store, or Rockstar Games Launcher product page going live with a spec sheet.
• Take-Two referencing PC SKU revenue or timing in an earnings release or investor presentation.

Until at least one of those happens, this page will continue to document the gap rather than fill it with invented numbers. Check back, or follow the release-date and platforms entries for the surrounding context.
