The wait for GTA 6 (Grand Theft Auto VI) on PC is one of the most anticipated moments of the decade. With the game already available on next-gen consoles, the question dominating searches in 2026 is: "Will my PC run GTA 6?"
You can check out more details on the PC requirements for GTA 6 in the video below:
In this updated guide, we analyze the advanced RAGE Engine technology (used in Red Dead Redemption 2) and the PS5/Xbox Series X hardware to provide the most accurate estimate of the system requirements for GTA 6.
Quick Summary: What to Expect?
To run GTA 6 smoothly, your computer will need, at a minimum, a graphics card with 8GB of VRAM and a recent 8-core processor. An SSD (NVMe) is likely mandatory due to the loading speed of the Vice City map.
GTA 6 Requirements Table (2026 Technical Estimate)
Check out the complete table below comparing the scenarios for running the game:
| Component | Minimum Requirements (1080p / Low) | Recommended Requirements (1080p / High) | Ultra Requirements (4K / Ray Tracing) |
| Operating System | Windows 10/11 (64-bit) | Windows 11 (Latest Update) | Windows 11 (Latest update) |
| Processor (CPU) | Intel Core i7-8700 or Ryzen 5 3600X | Intel Core i5-12600K or Ryzen 7 5800X | Intel Core i9-13900K or Ryzen 9 7900X |
| RAM | 12 GB (16 GB preferred) | 16 GB (Dual Channel) | 32 GB DDR5 |
| Graphics Card (GPU) | GTX 1660 Super or RX 5600 XT | RTX 4060 / RTX 3070 or RX 6700 XT | RTX 4080 / RTX 5070 or RX 7900 XTX |
| VRAM | 6 GB | 8 GB | 16 GB+ |
| Storage | 200 GB SATA SSD | 200 GB NVMe M.2 SSD | 200 GB NVMe M.2 SSD (Gen 4) |
Editor's Note: These specifications are based on Rockstar Games' current optimization and current console hardware.
GTA 6 Minimum Requirements
To get into Vice City without spending a fortune, the key is optimization. Rockstar Games typically makes scalable ports.
- Processor: The game will be heavy on physics and AI (Artificial Intelligence). CPUs with fewer than 6 cores/12 threads may experience bottlenecks in dense areas.
- Graphics Card: The era of 6GB cards is over. For textures alone, 8GB of VRAM will be the acceptable lower limit.
Recommended Requirements
If you want a visual experience close to or better than that of the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X, be prepared to invest in RTX 3000/4000 series or Radeon RX 6000/7000 series graphics cards.
- The use of technologies like DLSS (Nvidia) and FSR (AMD) will be crucial for maintaining a stable 60 FPS with Ray Tracing enabled.
GTA 6 Price and Release Date on PC
In addition to hardware, other common questions from Portal Viciados readers are about the release and pricing.
How much will GTA 6 cost?
Based on recent "AAA" releases in 2025 and 2026, the estimated price of GTA 6 for PC in Brazil is around:
- Standard Edition: R$ 349.90 to R$ 399.90.
- Ultimate/Deluxe Edition: R$ 499.90 to R$ 599.90.
When will it be released for PC?
Historically, Rockstar usually takes between 12 and 18 months to port its major games to PC.
If the schedule followed for GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 is repeated, the official release on Steam and the Epic Games Store is expected to happen between late 2027 and early 2028. Still, rumors are circulating that GTA 6 might arrive on PC sooner, leading us to believe in a possible release as early as 2027.
