Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) is the next major installment in Rockstar Games’ legendary open-world series. The title follows the massive success of GTA V, which continues to remain popular even a decade after its release. GTA 6 promises to bring a fresh experience with an updated map, improved graphics, and deeper storytelling. However, the wait continues for fans as Rockstar adjusts its launch timeline once again.
A Decade-Long Wait Continues
It’s been over ten years since GTA V launched in 2013. Fans have been eagerly waiting for the next entry, and the anticipation grew after Rockstar officially confirmed GTA 6.
Initially expected in 2025, reports now confirm a delay to November 2026. Rockstar stated that the additional time will help them polish gameplay and ensure a stable experience across all supported platforms. According to sources, Rockstar’s internal testing is still ongoing, and several next-gen features are being optimized for performance. While the delay may disappoint many, the developer emphasized its focus on maintaining the franchise’s quality and technical excellence.
GTA 6 System Requirements (Expected)
Rockstar has not released the final system requirements yet, but early leaks and insider reports suggest the following estimates for PC:

- RAM: Minimum 16 GB
- Graphics: NVIDIA RTX 3070 / AMD RX 6800 or higher

GTA 6 Map and World Design

inspired by Miami, with extended rural and coastal regions. The game world is said to be larger than any previous Rockstar map, featuring multiple cities and dynamic weather systems.
