Grand Theft Auto 6 Key Specifications

Key Specifications for Grand Theft Auto 6
Specification Detail
Protagonists Lucia & Jason
Confirmed Release November 19, 2026
Map Size 2-2.5x GTA V
Console Framerate Targeting 30 FPS at 4K (Standard) / 60 FPS (Pro/High Performance)

info_outline Note: PC specifications are estimates based on early RAGE 9 optimization data for current-gen console parity.

laptop_windows Laptop Performance Note: The heavy reliance on ray-traced Global Illumination and physically simulated hair/water will necessitate high-TGP laptop GPUs to avoid thermal throttling.

info_outline GPU TGP: Minimum 100W+ TGP for 1080p stability; 140W+ for 1440p High.

info_outline Cooling Thermals: Critical; the RAGE 9 engine fully utilizes all threads, creating high thermal load on slim chassis.

info_outline CPU Power Limits: High; the AI Witness system requires significant per-core performance.

info_outline MUX Switch Optimus: Highly recommended for frame-pacing consistency in dense urban areas like Vice City.

build Optimization Note: Native support for DLSS 3.5 (Ray Reconstruction) and FSR 3.0+. Ray Traced Reflections and Hair Physics (Spline-based) have the highest performance impact.
