GTA 6 PC Requirements: None Have Been Announced

What is officially known

PlayStation's store page tells buyers to clear at least 212 GB on the PS5. That is the one hardware figure a PC player can take from the console release: this is a very large game, and a PC version would be unlikely to need less space.

Nothing else is known. Rockstar has not named a graphics card, a processor, a memory figure or a Windows version for GTA 6, and has not said which PC stores it would use.

Why the spec lists you see are guesses

Search results are full of tables headed "GTA 6 minimum requirements". None of them comes from Rockstar. They are written by taking the console hardware, or the specs of an older Rockstar game, and adding a margin. Some are honest about that. Many are not.

Three checks expose a made-up list:

• It names no Rockstar page as its source, or links only to other news sites.
• It appears on a page that also offers a "GTA 6 PC download", a demo or a benchmark tool. Those files are fake and often carry malware, as the main page explains.
• It gives exact frame rates or settings for a game that has no PC build in public.

When real requirements exist they will be on Rockstar's Newswire and on the game's PC store page.

Reference points: official specs of Rockstar's PC games

These are the published Steam requirements of Rockstar's two most recent big PC releases, read on November 10, 2026. They are not GTA 6 requirements. They show what Rockstar asked for last time.

Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced (PC, March 4, 2025)

Red Dead Redemption 2 (Steam, December 5, 2019)

The most recent of the two, GTA V Enhanced, already requires an SSD and recommends 16 GB of memory for a game first released in 2013. GTA 6 is built for the current consoles only, so its PC version, if one is announced, should be expected to ask for more than either table. How much more is not known.

Should you buy PC parts for GTA 6 now?

Not on the strength of a guessed spec list. There is no PC version to run, no date for one (see the PC release date page) and no requirements to build toward. A PC bought today for a game that may be a year or more away will be measured against hardware that does not exist yet.

What is safe to say from the official record:

• Storage will matter. The console version needs up to 212 GB, and Rockstar's newest PC release requires an SSD.
• Requirements can change after release. Rockstar's Steam pages for GTA V carry a note that downloadable content and programming changes will change the system requirements over time.
• Rockstar's launcher is part of its PC releases. GTA V Enhanced lists a Rockstar Games account and the Rockstar Games Launcher among its requirements.

If you want to play on November 19, the requirement is a PS5 or an Xbox Series X|S. The pre-order page has the editions and prices.

A game with almost no requirements

At the other end of the scale, LifeSim is a free life simulator that runs in a browser tab on a computer or phone, with no download. You choose a real city, type who you are, and live a life day by day among AI characters with jobs, homes and routines. It is not an action game and not a GTA substitute, but it will start on the PC you already own.
