GTA 6 on PC

The straight story on a PC version — whether it's coming, when to expect it, and how to make sure your rig is ready without buying too early.

The short answerRumor

No PC version is confirmed — but history says it’s coming.

GTA 6 launches November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. Rockstar has not announced PC, yet GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 both arrived on PC roughly a year after their console debuts. A GTA 6 PC port is one of the most likely releases in gaming — just not dated. This page tracks every official word.

Anticipated system requirementsRumor

Not official. Estimated from RDR2, GTA V’s PC port and comparable 2026 open-world AAA games so you can plan upgrades. We replace these with Rockstar’s real numbers the day they drop.

Can your PC run GTA 6?

Rule of thumb until specs are official: if your PC comfortably runs a 2024–2026 AAA open-world game at 1080p/60, you’re in good shape for GTA 6 at sensible settings. The likeliest bottlenecks are VRAM (aim for 8 GB+, 12 GB to be safe) and an SSD (a fast NVMe drive will matter for streaming this world).

Don't buy too early

Hardware bought now may be a generation behind by PC launch. Plan, don't panic-buy.

Prioritize the GPU & VRAM

It's the component most likely to gate settings on a Rockstar world.

Get on an NVMe SSD

Open-world streaming punishes slow storage — this is the cheap, high-impact upgrade.

VICECodex will publish tested, no-nonsense hardware picks at each budget tier as the PC launch nears — useful first, recommendations second.

PC questions
Is GTA 6 coming to PC?+

Rockstar has only confirmed PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A PC version has not been announced — but every recent Rockstar title (GTA V, Red Dead Redemption 2) eventually came to PC, so a port is widely expected.

When will GTA 6 release on PC?+

No date is confirmed. Based on Rockstar's pattern, a PC release has historically landed roughly a year after consoles — which would point to a window after the November 19, 2026 console launch. We update this the moment Rockstar says anything official.

What are the GTA 6 PC system requirements?+

Official requirements have not been published. The figures on this page are informed estimates based on Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V's PC port and comparable 2026 AAA open-world titles. Treat them as planning guidance, not confirmed specs.
