GTA 6 System Requirements: Minimum and Recommended PC Specs & More

Rockstar Games finally confirmed the release of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), marking the next big step in open-world gaming. After years of leaks, teasers, and community hype, the wait’s basically done. With new visuals, a bigger map, and better character dynamics, GTA 6 is shaping up to be one of Rockstar’s most ambitious games till now. From system specs and price to the return of Vice City and dual main characters, here’s what we know before jumping into the next GTA.

Release Date and GTA 6 Price (Expected)

Right now, the launch date is planned for May 26, 2026. Rockstar hasn’t dropped any official pricing yet, but based on recent trends with AAA releases, we can make an educated guess. Globally, the Standard Edition might be $69.99, the Deluxe at $89.99, and the Collector’s Edition could go over $149.99, especially if it has extra digital or physical content.

In India, it’s expected that the Standard Edition will cost around ₹5,999, Deluxe could be ₹7,299, and Collector’s might push ₹10,000+.

Expected System Requirements (PC)

Built using the updated Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE), GTA 6 is going to need strong hardware to run properly. These aren’t official yet, but early reports point to the following:

Minimum System Requirements:

• OS: Windows 11

• CPU: Intel Core i5-9600K / AMD Ryzen 5 3600

• RAM: 16GB (Dual Channel)

• GPU: GeForce RTX 3060 (8GB) / Radeon RX 6600XT (8GB)

• Storage: 150GB SSD

• Audio: 100% DirectX 10 compatible sound setup

Recommended System Requirements:

• OS: Windows 11

• CPU: Intel Core i9-10900K / AMD Ryzen 5 5900X

• RAM: 32GB (Dual Channel)

New Gameplay Features & Maps: Vice City Reimagined

From what leaks and trailers show, GTA 6 is shifting how players interact with the world. Simple stuff like opening drawers or grabbing a snack now requires actual player input, making things feel more involved. The AI acts more naturally, and character movements use momentum physics. It doesn’t feel floaty or arcade-y anymore. Vice City’s coming back Rockstar’s version of Miami but way more expanded. The map might even include Liberty City, which means players could explore everything from coastal cities to suburbs and rural areas. The world design includes dynamic objectives, different terrain, and heavily populated spots.

GTA 6 is looking like Rockstar’s biggest project to date. With a better engine, bigger map, and more grounded story, the experience could be a big deal for players, especially in India, if their hardware can handle it.
