GTA 6 System Requirements

To run the GTA 6 system requirements, we predict you will need an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 GPU, an Intel Core i5-6600K CPU, 12GB of RAM, and 150GB of SSD space.

With GTA 6 in the works, but no official GTA 6 system requirements available, we've compiled our best estimates as to what the Grand Theft Auto VI system requirements will look like following our analysis of the GTA 6 trailer. Take our benchmark test now to see if your PC can run GTA 6, with our automatic checker or by manually entering your system details.

We can expect the GTA 6 requirements to be significantly higher than GTA 5 as it's a game for next gen consoles. Rockstar has announced that the new Grand Theft Auto game will release for current gen consoles in 2025 - that means no GTA 6 Playstation 4 or Xbox One edition. As Rockstar has not yet announced a PC release window, it is likely that GTA 6 will be limited to consoles for a brief window of time. 

Taking everything from the trailer into account, we estimate that you will likely need an Intel Core i5-6600K CPU, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 GPU, and 12GB of RAM to meet the GTA 6 minimum requirements. However, to ensure you can play the game, and potentially meet the GTA 6 recommended specs, we estimate you'll need an Intel Core i7-8700K CPU, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 GPU, and 16GB of RAM.

Of course, these are only our estimates, and there is every chance the game will demand more from your system. It is becoming increasingly common for games due for release in 2024 and later to require 12GB of RAM or more.

GTA 6 size

Our estimated GTA 6 size for download on PC comes in at 150GB of SSD storage. This estimate is based on the GTA 6 game size which has been seen in various map leaks, and on the previous GTA 5 size requirements which came in at over 100GB of space. With our estimated GTA 6 storage size being so high, we further estimate that an SSD will be part of the GTA 6 specs. This shouldn't be too surprising to many, considering the ever-increasing presence of SSDs in the minimum requirements for many new games. So, if you need more space or want to make an upgrade, check the PCGamesN buyers guide for the best SSD for gaming.
