Get Your Rig Ready

GTA6 launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar hasn't detailed specific DualSense haptic features yet, but PS5's haptic feedback has been a genuine highlight in past Rockstar titles — worth having a controller that supports it either way.

PS5

Controller · PlayStation

PlayStation DualSense Wireless

Haptic feedback and adaptive triggers built for PS5. GTA6 will use both heavily — every crash, tire screech, and gunshot.

GTA6's audio is going to be massive. Leonida's soundscape — ocean, city, swamps — needs a headset that can handle it. And for The Last Drive, you need to hear your convoy.

Rockstar hasn't published official display/performance specs for GTA6 yet — this is our editorial read based on how console generations have trended, not a confirmed number. Leonida on a real 4K display is going to look unlike anything in gaming history either way. Don't play it on a 1080p TV from 2016.

4K

Monitor · Console

LG 27UP650K-W Ultrafine 4K UHD

27" 4K UHD IPS panel with HDR10. HDMI for PS5/Xbox Series X. The sweet spot for console GTA6.

Why: 4K + 60fps console output looks stunning on a true UHD panel.

TV

TV · Living Room

LG C6 OLED evo AI 4K 55" (2026) Bundle

2026 model OLED panel, a11 AI Processor Gen3, 165Hz, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, HDR10, AI Super Upscaling. Best TV for GTA6, period.

Why: OLED blacks make night driving in GTA6 look cinematic. Nothing comes close.

PC

Monitor · PC

Samsung Odyssey OLED G7 (G73SH) 32"

1440p 240Hz curved OLED panel. G-Sync and FreeSync compatible. If you're on PC, this is the move before 4K.

Why: 240Hz at 1440p on true OLED is smoother — and looks better — than 4K at 60fps for competitive driving.

Rockstar has only confirmed PS5 and Xbox Series X|S for launch — a PC version and its system requirements haven't been announced yet. Based on how recent Rockstar titles have scaled on PC, we'd expect GTA6 to be demanding. These are solid upgrades for demanding current games generally, not a guarantee of GTA6 PC performance.

GPU

PC · Graphics Card

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB

16GB GDDR7, OC Edition, dual-fan cooling. Ray tracing and DLSS 4 support. A reasonable option for demanding current games at 1440p — GTA6 PC performance can't be evaluated until Rockstar announces a PC version and official requirements.

Editorial prediction, not a confirmed benchmark: strong price-to-performance for demanding titles at 1440p today.

SSD

PC · Storage

Samsung 990 Pro 2TB NVMe

PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280, up to 7,450 MB/s read speeds. GTA6 will be massive — expect 100GB+. NVMe means near-instant load times vs hard drive.

Why: Fast storage is the single biggest load time upgrade. Required for modern AAA games.

RAM

PC · Memory

Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5

32GB (2x16GB), up to 6000MHz, AMD/Intel compatible. GTA5 recommended 8GB — GTA6 will likely want 16GB minimum. Get ahead of it with 32GB.

Why: 32GB future-proofs your build through GTA6's entire lifespan.

PC · Keyboard

Logitech G PRO X TKL Rapid

Tenkeyless mechanical keyboard with Hall-Effect magnetic analog switches and Rapid Trigger. Compact for desk space. Used by pros.

Why: Tenkeyless keeps your mouse closer for better aim. Rapid Trigger is a real edge in competitive play.

140mg caffeine, zero sugar, 15 calories, vitamin-fortified — the "2.0" reformula fixes the chalky texture older G FUEL flavors were known for. Miami Nights' Vice-City can art is about as on-brand as a pre-workout gets for this site.
