There are no official GTA 6 system requirements because the game is not coming to PC at launch. Here is which console you need, how much space the game may take, why the "GTA 6 requirements" tables online are made up and what is known about PS5 Pro.
What you need to play GTA 6
One of these consoles is enough: PlayStation 5 (including PS5 Pro) or Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar has not set any model-specific requirements: Xbox Series S is on the official platform list, and the game gets improvements on PS5 Pro (the "PS5 Pro Enhanced" label).
You will need an internet connection to download the game and a PlayStation Network or Xbox account.
What each console gets
| Console | Supported | What is officially stated |
|---|---|---|
| PlayStation 5 | yes | Remote Play; DualSense haptic feedback, adaptive triggers and controller speaker; Tempest 3D Audio; fast loading from the SSD (game page on playstation.com) |
| PlayStation 5 Pro | yes | "PS5 Pro Enhanced" label on PlayStation Store; neither Rockstar nor Sony has said what exactly is improved |
| Xbox Series X | yes | "Optimized for Xbox Series X|S" label, Xbox achievements, cloud saves (Xbox Store) |
| Xbox Series S | yes | the same "Optimized for Xbox Series X|S" label; nothing has been said about resolution or frame rate on Series S specifically |
| PS4, Xbox One | no | according to Sony's FAQ, the game "will be available only on PlayStation 5"; Rockstar has not announced versions for older consoles |
Neither Rockstar nor the PlayStation and Xbox store pages list HDR, 4K or ray tracing support, so promises like "4K/60 on PS5 Pro" are not backed by anything yet.
Frame rate: 30 or 60 fps
Rockstar has not published official technical specs. The only thing on record is what Rob Nelson of Rockstar North said in an interview with Flow Games, as reported by Push Square and Inven Global: at the current stage of development the console version runs at 30 fps, and no decision on a 60 fps mode has been made before launch.
That reflects the state of things in August 2026, not a final spec. Rockstar has not said whether PS5 Pro will get a higher frame rate.
How much space GTA 6 will take
On November 3, 2026, Rockstar announced that the GTA 6 pre-load is up to 212 GB depending on your device. It did not give separate figures for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The earlier unofficial estimate of about 210 GB on PS5, from the PlayStation Game Size account, turned out almost exactly right.
Before that, the game's Xbox Store page showed 328.76 MB, which was only a pre-order placeholder package. Rockstar has not said anything about a day-one patch.
Practical advice: by November 10, when pre-loading starts, free up 250 GB or more on your console. That is our margin for a day-one patch and updates, not a Rockstar requirement. Details are on the GTA 6 file size page.
GTA 6 storage and specs: official vs reported
| Question | What is known | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Platforms | PS5 (incl. PS5 Pro) and Xbox Series X|S | official |
| File size | up to 212 GB depending on the device; no separate PS5 and Xbox figures | official (Rockstar, November 3) |
| Pre-load | November 10, 2026: PS5 at midnight local time, Xbox Series X|S at 00:00 GMT; boxed codes on sale from November 12 | official (Rockstar Newswire) |
| PC system requirements | none, no PC version announced | official (no announcement) |
| PS5 Pro improvements | "PS5 Pro Enhanced" label, no details | official label |
Rockstar has not published official resolution or frame rate figures for any console; what a developer said about 30 fps is in the frame rate section above. More about the PC situation is on the GTA 6 on PC page, and launch-day steps are in the GTA 6 launch prep guide.
Checklist: get your console ready by November 10
- Check your free space in the console's storage settings and clear 250 GB or more: Rockstar's figure is up to 212 GB, plus room for a day-one patch.
- Delete or move games you are not playing: on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S you can download them again later, and your saves stay in your account or on the console.
- Buy the game in advance: pre-loading is only available for digital pre-orders and codes from the box. The boxed Standard Edition goes on sale on November 12, and you need to redeem the code inside to start the download.
- Leave the console in Rest Mode (PS5) or Sleep (Xbox) with downloads allowed, so the game comes down without you.
- Check your PlayStation Network or Xbox account and your internet connection: you cannot download the game without them.

Why "GTA 6 PC requirements" are fake
Rockstar has not announced a PC version, so it has not published system requirements either. The tables of CPUs, graphics cards and RAM floating around websites and videos are guesswork or outright fabrication, often designed to lure you to a "download" page with malware.
