Select your hardware below to see if your PC meets the predicted minimum, recommended, or ultra requirements.
Our predictions are based on three key factors: the hardware inside current-gen consoles (PS5's GPU is roughly equivalent to an RTX 2070), the progression from GTA V to RDR2's PC requirements (each generation jumped about 2-3 GPU tiers), and the visual fidelity shown in GTA 6's trailers running on a base PS5.
GTA 6 will be especially CPU-demanding. Every NPC walking the street, every car in traffic, and every police AI decision is processed by your CPU. In dense Vice City scenes with 500+ NPCs, processor power matters more than raw GPU horsepower. AMD's X3D chips (like the Ryzen 7 7800X3D) with their massive L3 cache are ideal for this kind of workload.
GTA 6 uses asset streaming to load the world as you drive through it at high speed. A traditional hard drive simply cannot read data fast enough to keep up. SSD is expected to be a hard requirement, not just a recommendation. An NVMe drive will provide the best experience, especially in areas with dense texture loading.
Rockstar hasn't announced a PC release date or official specs. Based on their history (GTA V took ~2 years, RDR2 took ~1 year), the PC version is expected in late 2027 or early 2028. Official requirements will come closer to that date.
Use the checker above to find out. Generally, if your PC can run RDR2 at High settings at 60fps, you should be able to handle GTA 6 at Medium settings. If you're running a GTX 1660 or better, 16 GB RAM, and an SSD, you're likely in the minimum spec range.
For minimum playable experience (1080p, 30fps), we predict a GTX 1660 or RX 5600 XT. For the recommended experience (1440p, 60fps), an RTX 3070 or RX 6800. For 4K Ultra with ray tracing, you'll want an RTX 4080 or better.
Wait. The PC version isn't expected until late 2027 at the earliest. GPU prices will likely drop, and new hardware generations will launch between now and then. The best time to upgrade is 2-3 months before the PC release when official requirements are confirmed.
Almost certainly. Both NVIDIA's DLSS and AMD's FSR are standard in modern AAA PC games. These upscaling technologies will be crucial for hitting playable frame rates at higher resolutions, especially with ray tracing enabled.
