Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) has faced multiple delays. While Grand Theft Auto 6 developer Rockstar Games has been releasing trailers for its upcoming open-world game, showing off various cutscenes and teasing the storyline, the company appears to be ironing out some kinks in order to avoid a Cyberpunk 2077-like disaster. The last GTA game, Grand Theft Auto V, was released in 2013, which means it’s been over 13 years since it became available to gamers. With Grand Theft Auto 6 now scheduled to be released on November 19, 2026, the video game remains active in public discussion and has become part of meme culture. Barring further delays, we’re still less than a year away from its official console launch. Unfortunately, Rockstar Games has yet to reveal its PC release schedule.
While console owners don’t have a choice, PC users may want to start checking the system requirements and whether it meets the same requirements. Here, we’ve rounded up the expected minimum and recommended specs, as well as the file sizes you’re likely to need to run the game on your PC.
