Can my PC run GTA 6? Not yet: there is no PC version or spec sheet. Here's the GPU to plan for

Can your PC run GTA 6? Not yet, because there is no PC version to run. Rockstar's official page lists only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for the November 19, 2026 launch, and Rockstar has published no PC system requirements. A PC port has been reported for early 2027 but not announced. If one comes, our planning call is a graphics card with 12 to 16GB of VRAM. Rockstar's newest PC spec sheet already recommends 8GB for a 2013 game. Checked on Rockstar's, Take-Two's, Sony's, Microsoft's and NVIDIA's own pages on November 3, 2026.

Is GTA 6 coming to PC?

Probably, but Rockstar hasn't said so. Here is what the official sources say today.

• Rockstar's page says "Coming November 19, 2026", shows PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and says pre-load begins November 10. PC isn't mentioned.
• Take-Two's results for the quarter reported on August 7, 2026 list Grand Theft Auto VI for "PS5, Xbox Series X|S" on "November 19, 2026". Other titles in the same table, such as NBA 2K27, do list PC, so GTA VI's row without it isn't a formatting quirk.
• The PC report. On October 13, 2026 GamesBeat wrote that Rockstar plans the PC version for the first quarter of 2027, "according to four industry sources familiar with the studio's plans", and that a Rockstar representative "did not respond to a request for comment". That's a report, not an announcement.

Rockstar's history points the same way: PC arrives after consoles. GTA V reached PC in April 2015, about 19 months after its September 17, 2013 console launch. Red Dead Redemption 2 reached PC on November 5, 2019, about a year after its October 26, 2018 console launch. A Q1 2027 port would be quicker than either. Until Rockstar announces it, treat any PC date as a guess.

What are the GTA 6 PC system requirements?

There aren't any yet. Rockstar has not published any PC system requirements for GTA 6, and no GTA 6 PC store page exists. Tables that show a "minimum" and "recommended" GTA 6 PC are predictions, including the prediction roundup we keep.

What you can read is what Rockstar asks for on its newest PC releases. That's the best guide to how Rockstar writes a spec sheet.

Two things stand out. Rockstar's 2025 remaster of a 2013 game already recommends an 8GB graphics card and 16GB of RAM, and makes an SSD mandatory. GTA 6 is a new game built for current consoles, so expect its PC sheet to ask for more than that, not less.

What GPU should I plan for if GTA 6 comes to PC?

Plan for a card with 12 to 16GB of VRAM. This is our planning call, not Rockstar's spec. Here's the reasoning, from numbers we can source.

• The consoles it was built for. Sony's spec sheet gives the PS5 an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 2 CPU up to 3.5 GHz, an RDNA 2 GPU up to 2.23 GHz (10.3 TFLOPS) and 16GB of GDDR6 shared between game and system. Microsoft lists the Series X with 12 TFLOPS and 16GB of GDDR6. PC ports of console games usually want more memory than the console, because a PC splits it between system RAM and the graphics card's VRAM.
• Rockstar's current floor. GTA V Enhanced recommends 8GB of VRAM today (table above). A newer, bigger game rarely asks for less.
• The cards on sale now. NVIDIA's comparison page lists the RTX 5060 with 8GB, the RTX 5060 Ti with 8GB or 16GB, the RTX 5070 with 12GB, and the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5080 with 16GB, all GDDR7.

GTA 6 also ships on the Xbox Series S, a much weaker console that Microsoft pitches at 1440p. So the game has to scale down, which is good news for older PCs at lower settings. How far down a PC version scales is something only Rockstar's sheet will settle. For how much VRAM matters at each resolution, see is 8GB of VRAM enough for gaming.

How do I check my PC today?

You can't test GTA 6, but you can know your numbers so you're ready the day Rockstar posts the real spec sheet.

Should I buy a GPU now for GTA 6?

Not for GTA 6 alone. There's no PC date and no spec sheet, so you'd be buying for a guess. If Rockstar's PC sheet arrives in 2027, you'll know exactly what you need, and the card you'd have bought today will have been on the shelf for months.

If you're buying anyway, these two 16GB cards fit the middle planning tier. We don't list prices because they change daily; check the price on the retailer's page.

ASUS Prime GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB

The 16GB version of the RTX 5060 Ti (NVIDIA lists 16GB or 8GB of GDDR7). Make sure the listing says 16GB.

Best for: 1440p gaming, and local AI that needs 16GB of VRAM on a budget.

What we don't know yet

• Whether a PC version is coming, and when. Only Rockstar can confirm it. The Q1 2027 report comes from unnamed sources.
• The real PC requirements, including VRAM at each setting, ray tracing needs and upscaler support (DLSS, FSR).
• How well the port runs. Nobody outside Rockstar has played a PC build, so frame rates on any given card are unknown. Wait for real benchmarks before you buy hardware for it.

We'll update this page the day Rockstar publishes PC details.

Short version: GTA 6 is a console game on November 19, 2026. If you want to play at launch, that means a PS5 or Xbox. If you're waiting for PC, know your card's VRAM, plan for 12 to 16GB, and wait for Rockstar's own spec sheet before you spend.
