GTA V Enhanced is the updated PC version of the game, released separately from the classic Legacy version. The requirements below come straight from Rockstar’s official support article and the game’s Steam store page — both sources checked directly, with nothing filtered through third-party guides.

Minimum requirements

According to Rockstar, the minimum configuration to run GTA V Enhanced is:

  • OS: 64-bit Windows 10.
  • Processor: Intel Core i7-4770 or AMD FX-9590.
  • Memory: 8 GB of RAM.
  • Graphics card: NVIDIA GTX 1630 or AMD RX 6400, both with 4 GB of VRAM.
  • Storage: 105 GB of free space, and it must be an SSD.

This is the floor below which Rockstar does not officially guarantee the game will run correctly — not a comfortable-play recommendation, but the bare minimum for it to start at all.

For a steadier frame rate and the full set of graphical effects, Rockstar names a different tier of hardware:

  • OS: Windows 11.
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-9600K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600.
  • Memory: 16 GB running in dual-channel mode — that dual-channel detail is Rockstar’s own specification, not a generic “16 GB” figure.
  • Graphics card: NVIDIA RTX 3060 or AMD RX 6600XT, both with 8 GB of VRAM.
  • Storage: an SSD with DirectStorage support.

Dual-channel memory is an easy detail to miss on this list: two 8 GB sticks will behave differently from a single 16 GB stick.

Storage space and drive type

Both tiers — minimum and recommended — specifically call for an SSD rather than a generic “hard drive.” The minimum tier asks for 105 GB on an SSD with no further conditions; the recommended tier asks for a drive compatible with DirectStorage (a faster texture-loading technology supported by modern NVMe drives together with Windows 11). How much space an HDD install would take, or whether the game would even launch on one, is not stated on the support page — Rockstar phrases the storage requirement specifically as an SSD.

Price and platform on Steam

The GTA V Enhanced page on Steam lists the price as $29.99. The game supports Windows only — the store page shows no separate compatibility markers for macOS or Linux (via Proton or otherwise). The page also lists a separate Steam release date: 4 March 2025.

For purchase options directly on Rockstar’s own site and hryvnia pricing, see our piece on GTA V editions and platforms.

What is officially not stated

  • Requirements for the Legacy version. The support page we checked covers Enhanced specifically. It does not carry a current, separate list of requirements for the older Legacy build.
  • Requirements for ray tracing. Rockstar does not publish a separate hardware tier for ray tracing specifically — only the general minimum and recommended tiers.
  • Frame-rate performance. Neither the minimum nor the recommended requirements come with specific fps figures for the listed hardware.
  • Handheld PC compatibility (Steam Deck and similar devices) is not separately addressed on the support page.

Frequently asked questions

What are the minimum requirements for GTA V Enhanced on PC?

Per Rockstar's official support page: 64-bit Windows 10, an Intel Core i7-4770 or AMD FX-9590 processor, 8 GB of RAM, an NVIDIA GTX 1630 or AMD RX 6400 graphics card (both with 4 GB VRAM), and 105 GB of free SSD space.

Do you specifically need an SSD for GTA V Enhanced?

Yes. Rockstar lists an SSD directly in the minimum requirements, and for the recommended setup it calls for a drive with DirectStorage support. That means installing on a plain HDD is not part of the officially supported minimum configuration.

How much does GTA V Enhanced cost on Steam?

The Steam store page lists it at $29.99. That is the price in US dollars as shown on the store page itself; no hryvnia price is listed there.

Can you play GTA V Enhanced on macOS or Linux?

No. The Steam page lists Windows support only — there is no native macOS or Linux version.

How does GTA V Enhanced differ from the older version in terms of requirements?

The official support page describes requirements specifically for the Enhanced version, with its newer graphical effects (ray tracing, DirectStorage). It does not list a separate, current set of requirements for the older Legacy version on the same page.
