There are no official GTA 6 system requirements yet, because GTA 6 isn’t on PC. It launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and Rockstar hasn’t announced a PC version, so any “official” spec list you see online is a guess.
Updated 29 October 2026.
Is GTA 6 out on PC yet?
No. GTA 6 launches on 19 November 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only, and no PC version or date has been announced. Rockstar usually brings big games to PC later: GTA 5 reached PC about 19 months after consoles, and Red Dead Redemption 2 about a year after. See our GTA 6 release date guide for the latest.
Expected requirements based on Rockstar’s history
Red Dead Redemption 2 is the best guide we have. Below are its real PC specs next to a cautious estimate for GTA 6. The estimate is ours, not Rockstar’s.
| RDR2 minimum (official) | RDR2 recommended (official) | GTA 6 estimate (unofficial) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| RAM | 8 GB | 12 GB | 16 GB minimum, 32 GB comfortable |
| Graphics | GTX 770 2 GB | GTX 1060 6 GB | Modern card with 8 GB+ video memory |
| Storage | 150 GB | 150 GB | 150 GB+ on an SSD |
| Processor | Core i5-2500K | Core i7-4770K | Recent 6–8 core chip |
So on the common question of how much RAM GTA 6 needs: nobody knows yet, but planning for 16 GB as the floor is sensible. The consoles it’s built for use fast SSDs, so expect a hard drive to struggle.
How to check your laptop’s GPU, RAM and storage
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager, then click Performance.
- Memory shows your RAM. Disk shows whether it’s an SSD or HDD.
- GPU shows the graphics card name and its dedicated memory.
- Or press Windows + R, type
dxdiagand check the Display tab.
If you only see Intel UHD, Iris Xe or AMD Radeon integrated graphics, the laptop isn’t built for a game like this.
Two laptop-specific warnings: – A laptop graphics chip is weaker than the desktop card with the same name. – Heat matters. A hot Mombasa afternoon or a laptop on a bed throttles performance fast. A raised stand or cooling pad helps.
What to do if your PC won’t make the cut
- Don’t buy a “GTA 6 ready” laptop. No seller can promise that before Rockstar publishes PC specs.
- Wait for the official requirements, then decide.
- Playing at launch means a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S anyway; see GTA 6 price in Kenya for the cost of the game itself.
- If you’re planning a desktop for gaming in general, our guide to gaming PC prices in Kenya shows what each budget gets you.
Quick answers
They haven’t been published because there’s no PC version yet. Expect at least 16 GB RAM, a modern graphics card with 8 GB video memory and an SSD.
Not yet, since there’s no PC release. When it comes, a gaming laptop with a dedicated graphics card and good cooling is likely to be needed.
Unknown for PC. Based on Rockstar’s past games, 16 GB is a sensible minimum to plan for.
