GTA 6 PC
The trailers for Grand Theft Auto VI have made one thing abundantly clear: this will be one of the most visually advanced and densely populated open worlds ever created. For PC gamers, this grandeur comes with a pressing question—just how powerful will your computer need to be to explore Vice City?
The game’s incredible detail, from crowded beaches to a bustling urban center, suggests it will be significantly more demanding than its predecessors. The community has begun analyzing every clue to predict the potential system requirements, with many bracing for a need to upgrade.
On platforms like Reddit, players are making educated guesses by comparing Rockstar’s past releases. One common approach is looking at the technical leap from Grand Theft Auto V to Red Dead Redemption 2, which used a more advanced version of the same game engine. Factoring in the jump from PS4 to PS5 hardware, many speculate that a PC running the game at 1080p with medium settings would need at least a Ryzen 7 3700X CPU and an RTX 2070-level GPU with 8GB of VRAM.
The consensus is that modern mid-range hardware should manage acceptable performance. One user predicted, “Anything above a 13th-generation i5 and above a 3070 will run the game fine on medium to above settings.” However, achieving the full experience with high resolutions and frame rates will likely require top-tier components.
A key point of optimism is the existence of the Xbox Series S. Since the game must run on this less powerful console, it suggests that the baseline requirements for a playable experience may not be as astronomical as some fear, especially with the help of upscaling technologies like DLSS and FSR.

One important caveat remains: PC players will likely need to be patient. Rockstar has a history of releasing PC versions after the console launch, with GTA V arriving nearly two years later. While the gap is expected to be shorter this time, it also means final, official PC specifications are still far from being announced. For now, the speculation continues, but one thing is certain: Vice City will demand respect from your hardware.
