Gear
Best gear for GTA 6
These guides compare current console, TV, monitor, headset, controller and SSD options by budget. Rockstar has not announced GTA 6 performance modes, install size or online features, so every recommendation is based on the product’s wider console value, not a promised game feature.
How we pick
Rockstar lists PS5 and Xbox Series X and S as the launch platforms. Beyond a compatible display, none of these upgrades is an announced GTA 6 requirement. We judge screens, audio, controllers and storage by their value across a console library, and we label the game’s technical details unknown until Rockstar publishes them. Every pick is a current 2026 product, and we link out for the live price rather than quote one that goes stale.

Frequently asked questions
What gear do I need for GTA 6?
You need one of the announced platforms, PS5 or Xbox Series X and S, plus a compatible display and the included controller. A headset and extra storage are optional. Rockstar has not announced the exact install size, display modes or a GTA 6 online mode.
Do I need to upgrade my setup for GTA 6?
Wait for official technical details before upgrading only for GTA 6. If you already own an announced console and a compatible display, Rockstar has not published a resolution, frame-rate or storage requirement that makes a new TV or SSD necessary.
What is the best budget GTA 6 setup?
Xbox Series S is the lowest-cost console among the announced platforms, and the controller in the box is enough. Use a compatible display you already own if possible. Rockstar has not announced how GTA 6 output will differ across console models.
What is the best high-end GTA 6 setup?
PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X offer higher-end console hardware, while an OLED TV, extra SSD and wireless headset can improve a broader console setup. Those device capabilities do not confirm a GTA 6 performance mode, install size or online feature.
