GTA 6 on PC: Release Date & System Requirements

Everything PC players need to know about Grand Theft Auto VI — expected launch window, minimum and recommended specs, DLSS/FSR support, and how to prep your rig for Vice City.

When will GTA 6 come to PC?

Rockstar confirmed GTA 6 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in Fall 2025. A PC version has not been officially dated, but Rockstar's history is consistent: GTA V shipped on PC 19 months after consoles, Red Dead Redemption 2 arrived 12 months later. The realistic window for GTA 6 PC is late 2026 to early 2027.

Expected GTA 6 PC system requirements

Minimum (1080p / 30 FPS, low-medium)

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 / Intel Core i5-10400
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3060 8GB / AMD RX 6600 8GB
  • RAM: 16 GB DDR4
  • Storage: 150 GB SSD (NVMe strongly recommended)
  • OS: Windows 10/11 64-bit

Recommended (1440p / 60 FPS, high)

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D / Intel Core i7-12700K
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070 12GB / AMD RX 7800 XT 16GB
  • RAM: 32 GB DDR4/DDR5
  • Storage: 150 GB NVMe SSD

Ultra / 4K (60+ FPS with ray tracing)

  • CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Core i9-14900K
  • GPU: RTX 4080 / RTX 4090 / RX 7900 XTX
  • RAM: 32 GB DDR5

Upscaling & frame generation

Expect day-one support for DLSS 3.5, FSR 3, and XeSS — every recent Rockstar-published title shipped with upscaling on PC. Frame generation will be the practical path to 4K/high-refresh on mid-range GPUs like the RTX 4070 or RX 7800 XT.

How to prepare your PC now

  • Upgrade to an NVMe SSD if you're still on SATA — streaming Vice City will punish slow drives.
  • Budget for 32 GB RAM. GTA V comfortably used 12–16 GB modded; GTA 6's density will be higher.
  • If you're on an RTX 20-series or GTX 10-series card, plan a GPU upgrade in 2026.
  • Update Windows and GPU drivers; enable Resizable BAR / SAM in BIOS for a free 5–15% GPU uplift.

Will there be mod support?

Rockstar has never officially supported mods, but the community will. Expect a robust ScriptHook-style modding scene within weeks of PC launch — one of the strongest reasons to wait for the PC version.

FAQ

Will GTA 6 be on Steam?

Yes — every recent Rockstar PC title has launched on the Rockstar Games Launcher and Steam. Epic Games Store support is likely later.

Will GTA 6 come to Mac or Linux?

No native Mac version is expected. Linux support via Proton is likely for the Steam release once anti-cheat compatibility is confirmed.

Can a Steam Deck run GTA 6?

Very unlikely at launch. Expect low settings / 30 FPS at best, and only with heavy FSR upscaling.
