We have got a lot of questions regarding to the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto. And many of gamers like to know what will be the GTA 7 System Requirements?
What will be the minimum and recommended system requirements for the PC version?
As you know at the moment there is no official information about the system requirements for GTA 7. But we still try to look into the matter.
Let’s first take a look at the official system requirements for GTA 5. These data were published by Rockstar at the time of release GTA 5 PC version in 2014.
Minimum system requirements for GTA 5:
| OS: | Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 |
| CPU: | Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 – 2.40GHz (4 CPUs) / AMD Phenom 9850 – 2.5GHz (4 CPUs) |
| Graphics card: | NVIDIA 9800 GT 1GB / AMD HD 4870 1GB (DX 10, 10.1, 11) |
| RAM: | 4GB |
| Free Disk space: | 65GB |
Recommended system requirements for GTA 5:
| OS: | Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 |
| CPU: | Intel Core i5 3470 – 3.2GHZ (4 CPUs) / AMD X8 FX-8350 – 4GHZ (8 CPUs) |
| Graphics card: | NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB / AMD HD7870 2GB |
| RAM: | 8GB |
| Free Disk space: | 65GB |
As you can see the minimum requirements is quite acceptable and many people have much more powerful computer hardware. That certainly can not be said about the owners of laptops. Since the laptops often work on the integrated graphics, it is not every laptop is able to provide a comfortable game-play even with minimum game settings. What to do in this case? First of all, try to find out is there any possibility to install an additional graphics card to your laptop. If this is not possible and you can not play in your favorite game, in this case the answer is not reassuring, you need buy more powerful laptop.
As you all know the operating system must be 64-bit, as 32-bit operating system does not support more than 3.2GB of RAM.
OS Supports
Windows 11
The latest version of Windows is Windows 11, version 24H2, released in late 2024.
While specific compatibility details have not been officially confirmed, Windows 11 will likely be support GTA 7.
Windows 10
Although, according to Microsoft, support for this OS will be discontinued in 2025. However, rockstar always tries to optimize games for previous versions of windows. Therefore, we can assume that Windows 10 owners will be able to play GTA 7.
Windows 8.1
According to Microsoft, support for this OS was discontinued in 2023. Therefore, we can assume that Windows 8.1 owners will not be able to play GTA 7.
Windows 8
Support for this operating system was discontinued in January 2016. All users are strongly recommended to upgrade to the latest version of Windows 11. If you have not done so by the time GTA 7 is released, you will most likely not be able to play the game.
Windows 7
Since Microsoft stopped supporting this operating system in 2020 and you have not upgraded to a more current version of Windows by now, you will not be able to play GTA 7 on Windows 7.
Disk space
Since the new GTA 7 maps will require a lot of free space, it is recommended to have a hard disk with at least 1 TB. In addition, SSD is a good choice because it is able to provide fast and comfortable working.

core i7-6700T is the latest CPU in the world. in JAN 2017, core i7’s new generation will be aired………….
I think the requirement of the GTA 7 would actually be i9-7900x
Wow, I’m surprised that someone is still hosting this website. Latest CPU in dec 2023 is Intel Core i9-14900K and GPU – RTX 4090, I wonder what the actual system requirements for gta vii will be. Time will show us but I don’t except it in the next 15 years tbh. Especially with today’s gta VI annucement, which will be relased in 2025. Hope I’ll come back to this post when they relase gta7 and have some nostalgia.
