GTA 6 is confirmed on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. PlayStation 5 Pro plays it as a PS5 title; its GTA 6-specific enhancements (resolution, PSSR) haven't been detailed by Rockstar.
Raw GPU power, compared
- PlayStation 5 Pro 16.7 TFLOPS
- Xbox Series X 12 TFLOPS
- PlayStation 5 10.3 TFLOPS
- Xbox Series S 4 TFLOPS
TFLOPS counts arithmetic throughput, not frames on screen. Architecture, memory bandwidth and the port itself decide how a game actually runs — treat this as a rough ordering, not a performance forecast.
Frequently asked questions
Are official GTA 6 PC requirements out?
No — and there's no PC version announced at all, so official requirements don't exist yet. The table on this page is our estimate built from the confirmed console hardware and Rockstar's RDR2 PC port; we'll replace it with the official spec the moment one exists.
Will GTA 6 run on Steam Deck?
Unknowable today, since no PC version is announced. Set against our estimate, a Steam Deck-class handheld would land below the minimum tier — but that's stacking one estimate on another. Wait for the PC announcement before drawing conclusions.
What PC should I build to be ready for GTA 6?
Our recommended tier — an 8-core CPU around Ryzen 7 5800X level, 32 GB of RAM and a GPU in the RTX 3070 class or better — is deliberately console-plus. If the PC port lands in 2027 or 2028, mid-range hardware of that era should clear it comfortably.
