It&#8217;s either that, or the leaker has access to a console devkit\u2014which seems less likely than a development build that runs on a PC being passed around behind the scenes. <\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;\">\n<div class=\"kwizly-quiz kwizly-e47VRX\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script src=\"https:\/\/kwizly.com\/embed\/e47VRX.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The problem is, the idea that a PC build exists doesn&#8217;t really tell us much. It&#8217;ll be being developed on PC, of course, as that&#8217;s the platform on which most games are made.<\/p>\n<p>And while a PC release of GTA 6 hasn&#8217;t been officially announced, there&#8217;s no doubt that a retail PC version will appear at some point. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said that the console release would be &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/pc-players-arent-grand-theft-auto-6s-core-audience-take-two-ceo-says-and-thats-why-we-have-to-wait-for-it\/\" target=\"_blank\">serving the core<\/a>&#8221; first, so it looks like us PC gamers will still have to wait. Just like we did for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/why-gta-5-pc-is-the-definitive-version-of-rockstars-epic\/\" target=\"_blank\">GTA V<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/red-dead-redemption-2-pc-announced\/\" target=\"_blank\">Red Dead Redemption 2<\/a>, and&#8230; you get the idea.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1759px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.23%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BngP9Kz6o4g3nurmmSzKYf\" name=\"jason cropped\" alt=\"Jason, one of the protagonists of GTA 6, holding a phone.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/yes-the-gta-6-leaked-footage-was-probably-running-on-pc-and-no-that-doesnt-tell-us-a-whole-lot-about-the-eventual-release.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1759\" height=\"989\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Rockstar Games)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What would really get me jumping up and down, though, would be an idea of the specs this particular build was running on. Some of the footage shows some reasonably fancy lighting, and areas with surprisingly long draw distances, as do the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/grand-theft-auto\/all-the-takeaways-and-little-details-from-grand-theft-auto-6s-new-trailer\/\" target=\"_blank\">official trailers<\/a> to date.<\/p>\n<p>So what I really want to know, alongside the rest of the PC gaming public, is what sort of hardware we&#8217;re going to need for smooth frame rates when the PC version eventually rears its head. Will a budget graphics card suffice? Or are we going to have to break out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/graphics-cards\/nvidia-rtx-5080-founders-edition-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">RTX 5080<\/a>s and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/graphics-cards\/msi-rtx-5090-suprim-soc-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">RTX 5090<\/a>s to push the graphics sliders up?<\/p>\n<p>From the footage I&#8217;ve seen so far, it looks like the game is running at more like 30 fps than 60\u2014although video frame rate conversion being what it is, that might not necessarily be the case. At what settings, though? I&#8217;ve got literally no idea. It looks pretty good, I know that much.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d say that given the scope we&#8217;ve seen to date (and Rockstar&#8217;s tendency to push the boat out for PC releases), we&#8217;re probably in for something with a relatively scalable low end, and a demanding range of graphics options at the top for the well-heeled gamer. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/graphics-cards\/the-rtx-5060-ti-16-gb-currently-costs-more-than-the-rtx-5070-and-rx-9070-xt-and-i-know-which-one-id-pick\/\" target=\"_blank\">Graphics card prices are ridiculous right now<\/a>, haven&#8217;t you heard?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2041px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"oKVSj4cJAK44pN6Xsw7Gan\" name=\"gta 6\" alt=\"GTA 6\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/yes-the-gta-6-leaked-footage-was-probably-running-on-pc-and-no-that-doesnt-tell-us-a-whole-lot-about-the-eventual-release-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2041\" height=\"1148\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Rockstar)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Again, though, this is mostly guesswork. <em>Because there&#8217;s not much to do right now but guess.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As things currently stand, what we can glean from this footage in regards to PC is &#8220;this was probably captured on one,&#8221; despite some of the leaps in logic I&#8217;ve seen elsewhere.
