Wondering if your setup can run GTA 6? The answer depends entirely on whether you’re on console or PC, and one of those answers is a lot clearer than the other. Let’s cut through it.
The short answer: On console, GTA 6 runs on any PS5, PS5 Pro, or Xbox Series X|S, no special requirements beyond owning the console and having enough storage. On PC, there are no official system requirements yet, because GTA 6 isn’t launching on PC. Any PC spec list you see right now is an estimate, not confirmed.
GTA 6 console requirements
This part is simple. GTA 6 was built for current-generation consoles, so if you own one of these, you’re set:
- PlayStation 5 (standard or digital)
- PlayStation 5 Pro (enhanced visuals and performance)
- Xbox Series X (the full experience)
- Xbox Series S (runs at a lower resolution)
There’s no “minimum spec” to worry about on console. The only real requirement is storage, since the game is expected to be 150 to 200GB. Make sure you have at least 200GB free. Our GTA 6 storage guide covers exactly how much space you need and how to add more.

GTA 6 PC requirements: what we actually know
Let me be straight with you: Rockstar has not released PC system requirements, and there’s a simple reason. GTA 6 launches on consoles only on November 19, 2026. A PC version is expected later, likely around 2027 to 2028, and official specs won’t come until Rockstar is ready to announce that version.
So any “GTA 6 minimum requirements” chart circulating online is guesswork. I won’t present estimates as facts. What I can do is give you a realistic idea of what a game like this tends to demand, clearly labeled as an educated estimate.
Estimated PC specs (not official)
Based on how demanding recent open-world games are, and GTA 6’s scale, here’s a rough idea of what the PC version might ask for when it eventually arrives. Treat this as a ballpark, not a spec sheet.
| Component | Estimated minimum | Estimated recommended |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Modern 6-core (e.g. recent Ryzen 5 or Core i5) | Recent 8-core (Ryzen 7 or Core i7) |
| GPU | Mid-range (roughly RTX 3060 class) | Higher-end (RTX 4070 class or better) |
| RAM | 16GB | 16GB to 32GB |
| Storage | SSD, 150GB+ free | Fast NVMe SSD |
Again, these are estimates to help you plan, not confirmed numbers. If you’re building or upgrading a PC to be ready, our budget gaming PC build guide gets you a machine that should handle the eventual port comfortably.
Do you need internet to play GTA 6?
For the single-player story, you shouldn’t need a constant connection, the same as past GTA games, though you’ll need to download the game and any updates. For GTA 6 Online, a stable internet connection will be essential. We cover what’s known about the online mode in our GTA 6 Online guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the system requirements for GTA 6?
On console, you just need a PS5, PS5 Pro, or Xbox Series X|S plus around 200GB of free storage. There are no official PC requirements yet, since GTA 6 isn’t launching on PC.
Can my PC run GTA 6?
There’s no way to know for sure, because Rockstar hasn’t released PC specs and there’s no PC version at launch. A modern mid-to-high-end gaming PC should be in good shape when the port eventually arrives.
What are the minimum requirements for GTA 6 on PC?
They haven’t been announced. Any minimum-requirements chart online is an estimate. Expect official specs only when Rockstar reveals the PC version, likely around 2027 to 2028.
Does GTA 6 need an SSD?
On console, yes, the game runs from the console’s fast SSD storage. On PC, an SSD will almost certainly be required or strongly recommended when the version launches, given how modern open-world games stream data.
How much RAM does GTA 6 need?
Not confirmed for PC. As an estimate, 16GB is likely the baseline, with 32GB ideal for higher settings. Consoles handle their own memory automatically, so this only matters for the future PC version.
The bottom line
If you’re on a PS5, PS5 Pro, or Xbox Series X|S, GTA 6 will run, just sort out your storage. If you’re on PC, there’s nothing official to check yet, so ignore any “confirmed requirements” headlines until Rockstar announces the PC version. We’ll publish the real specs the moment they land.
