GTA6 PC System Requirements — Predicted

Los Santos Guide • Updated 2026

Rockstar has confirmed GTA6 will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in Fall 2025. A PC release will likely follow 12-18 months later. Based on the trailer's visual fidelity, engine capabilities, and current hardware trends, here are our predicted system requirements.

Predicted Minimum Requirements

• OS — Windows 11 (64-bit)
• CPU — Intel Core i7-8700K / AMD Ryzen 5 3600
• RAM — 16 GB
• GPU — NVIDIA RTX 2060 Super / AMD RX 6600 XT (6 GB VRAM)
• Storage — 150 GB SSD (NVMe recommended)
• DirectX — Version 12

Predicted Recommended Requirements

• OS — Windows 11 (64-bit)
• CPU — Intel Core i7-12700K / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
• RAM — 32 GB
• GPU — NVIDIA RTX 3070 / AMD RX 6800 (8 GB VRAM)
• Storage — 150 GB NVMe SSD
• DirectX — Version 12 Ultimate

Predicted Ultra Requirements

• OS — Windows 11 (64-bit)
• CPU — Intel Core i9-13900K / AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• RAM — 32 GB
• GPU — NVIDIA RTX 4080 / AMD RX 7900 XT (16 GB VRAM)
• Storage — 150 GB NVMe SSD
• DirectX — Version 12 Ultimate with Ray Tracing

Why These Specs?

Our predictions are based on:

• Trailer fidelity — The level of detail suggests heavy GPU requirements
• RAGE Engine evolution — Rockstar's engine scales well but demands modern hardware
• Console baseline — PS5/Xbox Series X equivalent GPU is roughly RTX 2070 level
• Rockstar's history — GTA V scaled from PS3 to PC, GTA VI will similarly scale

Final Thoughts

GTA6 will likely push PC hardware harder than any previous Rockstar title. The recommended spec of an RTX 3070 is conservative — the final requirements could be higher. Plan your upgrade path accordingly.
