To play GTA 6 at launch you need a PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, plus free storage and an internet connection to download it, because even boxed copies are a download code. Rockstar hasn't published an install size, and there's no PC version, so no PC requirements exist yet.

Rockstar hasn't published an install size. Estimates based on earlier Rockstar games run about 150 to 200 GB, and updates will add more over time. Boxed copies only contain a download code, so everyone installs the full game.
On PS5: Settings, then Storage. On Xbox: Settings, System, then Storage devices.
Enter your free space to see if GTA 6 fits.
Short on space? PS5 games run from the internal drive or a compatible M.2 SSD, not a USB drive. Xbox Series games run from the internal drive or a Storage Expansion Card. PS5 Pro owners get a 2 TB drive, so most won't need to clear anything.
Digital pre-orders can start downloading at midnight local time on November 12, one week before launch. Run a speed test and use that number, not the speed your plan advertises.
This is the hardware GTA 6 was built for. Rockstar hasn't announced resolution or frame-rate modes for any of them. Its second trailer was captured on a standard PS5.

On PS5, Sony says GTA 6 supports DualSense haptics and adaptive triggers, Tempest 3D Audio and fast SSD loading.
There aren't any yet.
Rockstar hasn't announced a PC version, so any list of minimum or recommended PC specs is made up. GTA V reached PC about 19 months after consoles and Red Dead Redemption 2 about 13 months, so a PC release in 2027 or 2028 is a fair guess, but only a guess. Our advice: don't buy PC parts for GTA 6 until Rockstar publishes real requirements.
Security researchers have found fake GTA 6 installers carrying remote-access trojans, password stealers and ransomware, fake demo sites that copy Rockstar's pages, and a 113 GB "leaked build" that was almost entirely empty data wrapped around malware.
A PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, enough free storage for the install (estimated at 150 to 200 GB), and an internet connection to download it. There are no PC requirements because there's no PC version yet.
Rockstar hasn't said. Estimates run from about 150 to 200 GB. Treat any exact number you see as a rumor until it appears on the PlayStation or Xbox store.
No. GTA 6 is only on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
No. Rockstar Support says physical copies contain a download code, so a PS5 Digital Edition or Xbox Series S works just as well as a console with a disc drive.
Rockstar hasn't announced frame-rate modes. Some analysts, including Digital Foundry, have suggested it may run at 30 fps on consoles, but that isn't confirmed.
GTA 6 is labeled PS5 Pro Enhanced, but Rockstar hasn't said what that adds. If you're buying a console mainly for GTA 6, wait for the details or launch reviews before paying extra.
No. Any GTA 6 PC download, demo, beta or APK is fake, and many carry malware.
