GTA 6 System Requirements: Complete Breakdown

The GTA franchise is getting a new edition after more than a decade. However, a lot of people are questioning, “can my PC handle GTA 6?” because it has a history of being a heavy game in terms of size and graphics. Even though Rockstar hasn’t given us all the details yet, we can infer a lot from similar titles and current hardware trends. Let’s now discuss the suggested and expected minimum specifications for GTA 6, along with the download size.

GTA 6 System Requirements

Before we dive into any details, you have to assume that GTA 6 is going to be a demanding game since it has to exceed the success of GTA V in every aspect. That means if you want to play the game without any issues, your PC needs to be up to the task.

While Rockstar hasn’t officially released the specs yet, we can make some educated guesses based on the requirements for similar AAA titles. Here’s what we think the minimum and recommended specs will be. Remember, these system requirements are not yet confirmed by the developers.

GTA 6 Minimum System Requirements (Expected)

These are the minimum requirements we’re expecting for the game:

OS	Windows 10 (64-bit)
Processor	Intel Core i5-6600K or AMD Ryzen 5 equivalent
Graphics Card	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 or AMD equivalent
Memory	12 GB RAM
DirectX Version	DirectX 12
Storage	150 GB SSD

• OS: Windows 10 (64-bit)

While Windows 11 might very well be able to do justice to GTA 6 eventually, we think Windows 10 will just be a more common option for most of the people at launch.

• Processor: Intel Core i5-6600K or AMD Ryzen 5

Now let’s head on to the CPU. We are expecting something like the Intel Core i5-6600K or an equivalent AMD Ryzen 5 to be able to handle GTA 6 at its lowest settings. However, these are only assumptions.

• Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 or AMD Equivalent

A graphics card is the heart and soul of any game today and GTA 6 will be no different. We expect it to be playable at respectable settings on any graphics card like GTX 1660 or similar AMD Radeon.

• Memory: 12 GB RAM

We feel that 12 GB of RAM should be enough to keep the game running smoothly on minimum settings. While GTA 6 will be a big game, 12 GB is typical for modern titles, and it will handle the game’s open world without too much trouble.

• DirectX Version: DirectX 12

Since DirectX 12 has been the standard for most recent AAA games.

• Storage: 150 GB SSD

Finally, we’re expecting 150 GB of SSD storage as the minimum.

GTA 6 Recommended System Requirements (Expected)

These are the recommended requirements we are expecting for the game:

OS	Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit)
Processor	Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 7 equivalent
Graphics Card	NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER or AMD equivalent
Memory	16 GB RAM
DirectX Version	DirectX 12
Storage	Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit)

• OS: Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit)

Although better with Windows 11, Windows 10 is still a viable option for this intensive game. You can still expect something of GTA 6 to run well on Windows 10.

• Processor: Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 7

Everyone wants the coveted title to play at high settings and for that, powerhouses like Intel Bench Simulator vs. AMD’s Ryzen processors are usually favored.

• Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER or AMD Equivalent

Because GTA 6 is expected to be very heavy on the system, you would have to invest in the likes of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER or the Radeon RX 6800 XT.

• Memory: 16 GB RAM

When it comes to RAM, 16 GB will be ideal. 

• DirectX Version: DirectX 12

You’ll still need DirectX 12 for the best visuals and performance. 

• Storage: 150 GB SSD

For storage, we expect 150 GB on an SSD to be the sweet spot for the recommended specs.

GTA 6 Download Size (Expected)

We anticipate that the download will be somewhat large. GTA 5’s initial size was about 65 GB, but it has since increased, particularly with updates. GTA 6 is probably going to be even more popular. 

We estimate that the game will require at least 150 GB of storage, probably more if updates are released, given the size of the game’s globe and the amount of detail that Rockstar is renowned for.
