Best gear for GTA 6

Everything you need to play GTA 6 at its best, in one place. These buyer guides pick the best console, TV, monitor, headset, controller and SSD for GTA 6 by budget, with products verified for 2026 and an honest take on what is actually worth buying.

How we pick

GTA 6 runs on every current-gen console, so none of this is required: you can play on a stock PS5 or Xbox with the controller in the box. These guides are for upgrades that genuinely help, a sharper screen, clearer audio, a pro pad, or more storage for a roughly 150 GB game. Every pick is a real, 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?

At a minimum, a PS5 or Xbox Series console, since GTA 6 is current-gen only. A good TV or monitor, a comfortable headset, and extra SSD storage for the roughly 150 GB game make it better. Our guides pick the best of each by budget.

Do I need to upgrade my setup for GTA 6?

No. Any current-gen console and a normal 4K TV play GTA 6 well. Upgrades like a 120Hz TV, a pro controller or an extra SSD are nice but optional, and each guide is honest about what is worth it.
