As Rockstar Games prepares for the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI, hardware performance and platform availability remain top priorities for millions of players worldwide. Built on the latest version of the proprietary RAGE engine, GTA 6 is designed ground-up to leverage current-generation console architecture and high-end PC hardware.
Here is the complete, official breakdown of confirmed platforms, performance targets, and PC release window details.
Confirmed Launch Platforms

Xbox Series S: Supported current-gen entry platform running at lower native resolutions (1080p/1440p) with optimized asset streaming.
