GTA 6 System Requirements and File Size: PC and Consoles

There are no official GTA 6 system requirements for PC, because Rockstar has not announced a PC version. On console you need a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series X|S and nothing else. The PC tiers below are our expected minimum, recommended and ultra specs, based on console hardware and Rockstar's porting history…

On console there is nothing to configure: every PS5 and Xbox Series X|S runs the game out of the box, and all you need is free storage. Rockstar has never stated the GTA 6 file size, and the ~150 GB number everyone quotes is a community estimate, so treat 200 GB free as the safe figure. On PC, plan for an SSD, 16 GB of RAM at the minimum tier and 32 GB at the recommended one, plus DLSS or FSR support at or near a PC launch.

Not confirmed: Rockstar has never announced the install size, so the widely quoted ~150 GB is a community estimate, and no resolution, frame rate or ray-tracing mode has been announced either, including on PS5 Pro.

GTA 6 file size, 60 fps and other quick answers

Quick answers

Expect roughly a Core i5-8600K or Ryzen 5 3600, an RTX 3060 or RX 6600 XT, 16 GB of RAM and around 150 GB on an SSD for 1080p at 30 fps on low settings. Official specs are not published yet, and the PC version has no release date.

Gaming laptops with an RTX 3060 mobile GPU or better and 16 GB of RAM should clear the expected minimum. Thin-and-light laptops with integrated graphics will not run it.

Effectively yes. The seamless streaming of Leonida is built around console SSD speeds, and mechanical hard drives are expected to be unsupported, as with recent AAA releases.

Rockstar has not announced the install size and the store pages do not list it. The widely quoted ~150 GB figure is a community estimate based on recent Rockstar releases, so plan for about 200 GB of free space to be safe.

Rockstar has announced no frame rate or performance mode for any console, including PS5 Pro, so 60 fps is not confirmed there. On PC the recommended tier above targets 1440p at 60 fps, and DLSS or FSR support is expected at or near a PC launch.

Rockstar typically publishes PC specs one to two months before a PC release. The PC version has no date yet, so official requirements will follow the console launch. We update this page as soon as they appear.
