GTA VI is expected to feature Rockstar's largest and most detailed open world to date, encompassing the diverse state of Leonida. Confirmed regions include Vice City (a reimagined Miami), alongside other areas like Grassrivers (potentially an Everglades-like area), Leonida Keys (Florida Keys analogue), Port Gellhorn (industrial/port area), Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga. The map will feature urban sprawls, beaches, swamps, and rural countryside, offering a wide range of environments.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 features an expanded open-world New York City, roughly twice the size of the map in the first game. It includes all of Manhattan from the previous titles, plus two new boroughs: Queens (Peter's home borough, featuring residential areas like Astoria) and Brooklyn (Miles' home borough, featuring areas like Williamsburg and Coney Island). The map is incredibly detailed, with seamless transitions between boroughs via bridges or web-swinging/gliding.

• Official PC system requirements for 'Grand Theft Auto VI' have NOT been released by Rockstar Games. The PC version is expected to release AFTER the console versions (PS5, Xbox Series X/S - May 26, 2026). The following specifications are **speculative/expected** based on industry analysis, rumored engine capabilities (RAGE 9), and the demanding nature of previous Rockstar titles. These are subject to change significantly upon official announcement. An NVMe SSD will almost certainly be required for the PC version.
• Laptop Performance Note: When official PC requirements are released, playing GTA VI on a laptop will demand a very high-end gaming laptop from the latest generations. Laptop GPUs and CPUs perform differently than their desktop counterparts due to power (TGP) and thermal constraints. **The estimations below are highly speculative and for a future PC release.** Users should always consult specific laptop model reviews and official game requirements once available.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P Impact: Total Graphics Power (TGP) will be paramount. High TGP variants of any mobile GPU will be essential for playable framerates.

• C P U Performance Sustain: A flagship mobile CPU (e.g., future Intel Core i9 HX or AMD Ryzen 9 HX series) capable of sustained high performance will be required to avoid bottlenecks.
• R A M Configuration Speed: 32GB of fast DDR5 RAM (or newer standards by release) in dual-channel will likely be the recommended minimum for a smooth experience on PC, and thus for high-end laptops.
• Display Panel G P U Pairing: Matching a high-resolution (1440p+) and high-refresh-rate (120Hz+) laptop display with a top-tier mobile GPU will be key, with reliance on upscaling technologies.
• M U X Switch N V I D I A Advanced Optimus: Essential for maximizing performance from the dedicated GPU.
• Driver Updates O S Optimization: Crucial for any demanding PC title, especially on laptops.

• G P U T G P: Maximum TGP will be absolutely crucial.
• Cooling Thermals: Exceptional cooling needed for demanding visuals and fast-paced action.
• C P U Power Limits: Strong CPU performance needed for the dense open world and fast traversal.
• R A M Speed Dual Channel: Fast dual-channel RAM (DDR5) would be essential.
• M U X Switch Optimus: Using a MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus would be critical.
