GTA 6 System Requirements: What Your PC Will Actually Need
Realistic minimum and recommended spec predictions based on the trailers, RAGE engine history, and current-gen console hardware — plus upgrade advice that won't waste money.
Rockstar hasn't published official PC requirements yet — the PC version traditionally lands after consoles. But we can make grounded predictions from three data points: the console hardware it's built for, the RAGE engine's scaling history, and what RDR2 demanded at launch.
This page updates the moment official specs drop. Here's what the evidence points to right now.
Predicted minimum spec
The game targets a PS5-class baseline: expect roughly a Ryzen 5 3600 or Core i5-10400, 16 GB RAM, and an RTX 2070 / RX 6600 XT tier GPU for 1080p30 at console-equivalent settings.
Storage is the certain one: a fast NVMe SSD will be mandatory, not optional — the streaming tech that makes the world seamless depends on it. Budget 150 GB+.
The smart upgrade order
If you're upgrading ahead of the PC release: SSD first (you'll need it regardless), then GPU, then RAM to 32 GB. Don't buy a CPU for this game alone — RAGE has historically been GPU-bound at the settings people actually play.
