Six Countdown/GTA 6 facts/PC requirements
GTA 6 PC requirements
Rockstar has published nothing. Every spec sheet online — including this one — is an estimate. The difference is that we show the working, label it, and tell you what it is worth.
Read this before the table
Rockstar has not announced a PC version of GTA 6, let alone its system requirements. The November 19, 2026 launch is PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only.
That means every “GTA 6 system requirements” table you will find today — including the one below — is somebody’s estimate. Anyone presenting one as official is either mistaken or lying to you for clicks.
Ours is built from Red Dead Redemption 2’s published PC specs, scaled for what a PS5-generation-only title implies. Use it to plan a build, not to buy one this week.
01Our estimated spec sheet
Three tiers, matching how Rockstar has laid out every PC release since GTA V: a minimum that gets you 1080p at 30, a recommended that targets 1080p–1440p at 60, and a high tier for 4K.
| Component | Minimum 1080p / 30 fps | Recommended 1440p / 60 fps | 4K / Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | Core i5-8400 Ryzen 5 2600 | Core i7-12700 Ryzen 7 5800X3D | Core i7-14700K Ryzen 7 9800X3D |
| GPU | GTX 1660 Ti 6 GB RX 5600 XT | RTX 4070 12 GB RX 7800 XT | RTX 5080 16 GB RX 9070 XT |
| RAM | 16 GB | 32 GB | 32 GB |
| Storage | 200 GB SSD NVMe strongly advised | 200 GB NVMe SSD | 200 GB NVMe SSD |
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit (22H2) or Windows 11 | ||
02Will my PC run GTA 6?
Against the estimate above, here is where the most common cards land. Same caveat applies — this moves the day real specs appear.
03Where these numbers come from
- Red Dead Redemption 2 PC, 2019Minimum GTX 770 / recommended GTX 1060. Same engine family, one console generation earlier.
- The PS5-only decisionGTA 6 skips the PS4 and Xbox One entirely. That removes the last-gen floor that kept GTA V’s PC minimum so low — the minimum bar rises with it.
- Console targetPS5 delivers roughly RTX 2070-class raster performance. A PC minimum tier usually sits just under the console target, which is how the GTX 1660 Ti estimate lands.
- What could break thisMandatory ray tracing. RDR2 shipped without it; if GTA 6 requires RT lighting rather than offering it, the minimum jumps to RTX 3060 and everything above shifts a tier.
04Questions people actually ask
Has Rockstar confirmed GTA 6 PC requirements?
No. Rockstar has not confirmed a PC version, a PC release date, or any system requirements. The November 19, 2026 launch is PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. Any site presenting an official-looking spec table today is presenting an estimate.
Is 16 GB of RAM enough for GTA 6?
Probably for the minimum tier at 1080p. For a comfortable 1440p experience we would plan on 32 GB — that has been the direction of travel across every major 2025–2026 release, and RAM is the cheapest part of the upgrade.
Will GTA 6 need an SSD on PC?
Almost certainly. GTA 6 is built for consoles with fast NVMe storage and no HDD fallback. Even if a mechanical drive is technically listed as supported, streaming a world of this density from one would be a poor experience.
Will a GTX 1650 or 1050 Ti run GTA 6?
No. Those cards sit below any plausible minimum for a PS5-generation-only title. GTA V ran on them because it was built for the Xbox 360; GTA 6 has no such floor.
When will the real requirements be published?
Historically Rockstar publishes PC specs four to eight weeks before the PC release — and the PC release has not been announced. See our PC release date page for the likely window.
