Can my PC run GTA 6?

Rockstar has not announced official GTA 6 PC system requirements. This checker scores your CPU, GPU, RAM, storage and OS against projected requirements based on the PS5 hardware target and Rockstar's port history — and it updates the day official specs are announced.

Are the GTA 6 PC requirements official?

No. There is no GTA 6 PC version announced yet, so no official requirements exist. Every verdict on this page is an estimate and clearly labeled as such.

Can a GTX 1660 run GTA 6?

On our projected specs, a GTX 1660 lands in the Borderline tier — expect 1080p at low settings around 30fps when the PC version arrives. Run it through the checker above for your exact verdict.

How much RAM do I need for GTA 6?

Our projection: 16GB of RAM for a comfortable experience, 8GB as the bare minimum. The PS5 and Xbox Series X both ship with 16GB of unified memory, and the PC port will target that baseline.

Does GTA 6 need an SSD?

Almost certainly. The PS5 streams its open world from a 5.5GB/s NVMe drive. Our projection treats an SSD as required — a hard drive caps your verdict at Borderline even with a strong GPU.

Will GTA 6 run on a gaming laptop?

If the specs match, yes — but laptop GPUs and CPUs run hotter and slower than their desktop namesakes. This checker scores mobile chips about 15% lower to account for heat and power limits.

When is GTA 6 coming to PC?

Rockstar has not announced a PC date. GTA VI launches November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. Based on GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2, the PC version typically follows 12–18 months after console launch.

Verdicts are estimates based on projected requirements — Rockstar has announced nothing official for PC.
