Unknown · there is nothing to specify

No version. So nothing to specify.

No PC version · no requirements · no storefront listing Take-Two Interactive · 24 Jun 2026

What are the GTA 6 PC system requirements?

There are none. No PC version has been announced, Rockstar has published no minimum or recommended specification, and every spec table you have seen is somebody's guess.

Last checked

Not known

Two blanks, and the second one causes the first.

What would it need?

A system requirement is a statement a publisher makes about a product it is selling: this processor, this much memory, this graphics card. It is not a forecast, and it is not a consensus of enthusiasts. For Grand Theft Auto VI there is no PC product for such a statement to be about, so the statement does not exist.

A confident-looking minimum and recommended table would take ten minutes to write. It would rank, it would be shared, and it would be fiction — the kind that comes back months later quoted as though somebody had confirmed it. Unknown is a real answer, and on this question it is the only true one.

CitedAbsence of any first-party statement

And when could there be one?

There is nothing to specify a machine against and no date to plan around. If a gap comparable to the one precedent this reference holds followed the 19 November 2026 console launch, hardware bought today would be close to two years old before there was anything to run on it — and that assumes a PC version is coming at all, which has not been said.

Buy for what you play now. Nothing on this page can tell you whether a component will be enough for a game whose requirements have not been written. The PC version carries the rest of the argument.

What is settled

Confirmed · and it is what makes the rest impossible

Is there a PC version to specify?

No. None has been announced.

Those two are worth keeping apart: this is a confirmed absence in the platform list; the specification is the thing that absence makes impossible. Both stay as they are until Rockstar announces a PC version.

Stated in first-party material, or shown in official footage. Two attributable sources where possible. Nothing reliable exists. Stated plainly rather than filled with speculation.

Nothing here has been estimated. Where nothing has been published the row says so, and the source column names the material that had every reason to say it and did not.

How to recognise an invented spec table

Four tells · all checkable in ten seconds

Results for this question are full of tables with a minimum column and a recommended column. They are not leaks and they are not early information; they are written by working backwards from other games.

The storage figure has its own page — file size, never published — and so does the frame rate: frame rate and resolution, not stated even for the consoles.

What the console version tells you about the demands

Something · far less than the spec pages imply

What technical material exists at all?

One console feature list. Controllers and audio, no figures.

This is the only first-party technical detail of any kind published so far. No equivalent Xbox feature list has been published.

Confirmed PlayStation.Blog (Rockstar-authored) /

Read carefully, that tells you the game is built against one fixed console specification, a fast solid-state drive included. It does not tell you what a PC would need, because a port's requirements are a property of the port — how the engine scales, which settings are exposed, what the minimum supported hardware is decided to be — and none of those decisions has been announced, or necessarily even made.

The closest thing to a technical signal in circulation is third-party analysis of two trailers rather than a measurement. If it is right, and the load on the processor is the constraint, then a graphics card is the wrong thing to be shopping for. We record the reasoning. We are not going to convert it into a recommended build.

Built againstone fixed console specification
PC scaling decisionsnot announced, possibly not made
Likely constraint, per analystsprocessor, not graphics card
Measured on a PCnever — there is no build

And the performance reading?

Analysts doubt 60fps even on a PS5 Pro. It is a reading of footage.

Digital Foundry's reading of both trailers is that a 60fps mode is unlikely even on PS5 Pro, with CPU simulation load the likely bottleneck.

Where official requirements would appear first

Two places · neither is a specification aggregator

The first is the product listing on whichever storefronts carry a PC version: requirements have to sit there before anybody can buy. The second is Rockstar's own Newswire, the channel used to announce the console release date

Until material appears in one of those two places, no specification has been published, however many pages carry a table. When it does, this page is rewritten the same day: the grade in the record above moves from Unknown to Confirmed, and the source column names the document it moved on.

How that decision is made in general is set out in the four grades and in our source policy
