Grand Theft Auto VI is set to launch on November 19, 2026, but only on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Rockstar has not confirmed a release date for the PC version, which means there is no official GTA 6 PC specifications list yet. Anyone who tells you this is guessing, and in this guide, we shall make an educated guess to ensure we get as close to the real one as possible.
While the PC version is said to launch as late as 2028, the game will be as demanding as the best of the best AAA titles out there. As good as the extended look trailer looks, players are expected to have the highest of the high-end gaming systems available, which will be anything but cheap, especially with the global memory crisis.
As we prepare for the launch on consoles, Rockstar has given us nearly 2 years to ramp up our PC specifications. Based on the speculations, we can put together a reasonable requirement, but consider this to be somewhat off given the game will be the most demanding we have ever seen.
| Target | CPU | RAM | GPU | Storage | Expected Resolution |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | Ryzen 5 5600 / Core i5-12400F | 16GB | RTX 3060 12GB / RX 6700 XT | 1TB NVMe SSD | 1080p Low–Medium |
| Recommended | Ryzen 5 7600X / Core i5-14600K | 32GB | RTX 4070 / RTX 5070 | 1TB+ NVMe SSD | 1440p High |
| High-End | Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Ryzen 7 9800X3D | 32GB | RTX 5080 / RX 9070 XT | 2TB NVMe SSD | 1440p Ultra / 4K High |
| 4K + Ray Tracing | Ryzen 7 9800X3D / Core Ultra 7-class | 32–64GB | RTX 4090 / RTX 5090 / RTX 5080-class | 2TB NVMe SSD | 4K with Ray Tracing |
Treat all of that as an educated guess, not a promise. Rockstar typically publishes real PC requirements two to three months before a PC release date exists, and right now, that date doesn’t exist either. The safest move is to watch for an official Rockstar Newswire post rather than trusting a spec sheet with no source behind it.
