GTA 6 PC System Requirements: What Rockstar's Last PC Games Needed

GTA VI launches November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only, and Rockstar hasn't announced a PC version — so it hasn't published PC requirements either. What it has published are the requirements for its last two big PC releases. They're the best evidence for how Rockstar sizes a PC port, so here they are in full, from Rockstar's own pages. (Wondering if a PC version is coming at all? See what Rockstar's history says.)

Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC (2019)

Rockstar Support's requirements, minimum first:

• Minimum: Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD FX-6300; 8GB RAM; Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 2GB or AMD Radeon R9 280 3GB; 150GB of storage.
• Recommended: Intel Core i7-4770K or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X; 12GB RAM; Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB or AMD Radeon RX 480 4GB; 150GB of storage.
• Operating system: Windows 10 64-bit on Rockstar's current page (the original 2019 listing allowed Windows 7 SP1 at minimum).

GTA V on PC (2015)

The requirements Rockstar published for GTA V's April 2015 PC launch:

• Minimum: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz or AMD Phenom 9850 @ 2.5GHz; 4GB RAM; NVIDIA 9800 GT 1GB or AMD HD 4870 1GB; 65GB of storage.
• Recommended: Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.2GHz or AMD FX-8350 @ 4GHz; 8GB RAM; NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB or AMD HD 7870 2GB; 65GB of storage.
• Today, GTA V's Legacy version lists 125GB, and the Enhanced version requires 105GB on an SSD.

What changed between them

• Storage more than doubled, from 65GB to 150GB, between GTA V and RDR2.
• Recommended RAM rose from 8GB to 12GB.
• The newest requirement Rockstar has published — GTA V Enhanced — asks for an SSD, not just a hard drive.

What GTA VI is built for

GTA VI targets the current consoles. Rockstar captured the Extended Look and Trailer 2 entirely in-game on PlayStation 5, and the PlayStation Store lists the game as PS5 Pro Enhanced. Both the PS5 and the Xbox Series X|S use eight-core AMD Zen 2 processors, AMD RDNA 2-based graphics and fast SSDs — a much higher baseline than the PS4 and Xbox One that RDR2 was built around. A PC version made for this generation would almost certainly ask for more than RDR2 did, but how much more is anyone's guess until Rockstar publishes it.

Planning ahead without wasting money

• Don't buy hardware for a version that hasn't been announced. Official requirements will come with any PC announcement.
• If you upgrade anyway, an SSD is the safest bet: Rockstar's most recent PC requirements already demand one.
• If you want to play on day one, the November 19 launch is console-only — see our pre-order guide for prices.
