GTA 6 is finally on the horizon, and PC gamers are already wondering: Can my setup handle it? While Rockstar hasn’t released official specs yet, leaks and past trends give us some solid clues. Let’s break down the expected minimum and recommended PC requirements for GTA 6, analyze Rockstar’s game engine evolution, and give you upgrade tips to stay ahead of the game.

Expected Minimum PC Requirements for GTA 6 (Unofficial)

Based on leaks circulating on Reddit and Twitter, here’s what’s being speculated for minimum specs:

• OS: Windows 10 64-bit
• Processor: Intel Core i5-6600K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600
• RAM: 12 GB
• Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 1660 or AMD RX 580
• DirectX: Version 12

These specs are based on what we saw with Red Dead Redemption 2 and early insider estimates. They reflect what might be needed to run the game at 1080p on Low/Medium settings.

Predicted Recommended Specs for Smooth GTA 6 Gameplay

If you’re aiming for 60 FPS at 1440p or higher with better visuals, you’ll need beefier specs:

• OS: Windows 11 64-bit
• Processor: Intel Core i7-9700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
• RAM: 16–32 GB
• Graphics: NVIDIA RTX 3070 / RTX 3080 or AMD RX 6800 XT
• DirectX: Version 12
• Storage: 150 GB SSD (NVMe preferred)

With GTA 6’s rumored realistic water physics, dynamic lighting, and dense NPC AI, your GPU will be doing a lot of heavy lifting.
