While we wait for more news and a closer look at GTA 6, you can check out the recently increased GTA 5 system requirements for 2025. The graphical improvements introduced in the enhanced edition bring some long-desired features, but at the cost of elevated system requirements over the original 2015 specs, particularly for the recommended requirements.
You won’t need the best graphics card from our buying guides to get Grand Theft Auto 5 running, even with the big performance upgrades that arrived with GTA 5 Enhanced. Ray tracing, FSR, and DLSS support for the game have, however, pushed the game’s original system requirements way beyond what was originally demanded, and in so doing, relegated older gaming laptops and PCs to the legacy version of the game. There’s no real downside to running the legacy mode if you just want to experience the single-player campaign, but anyone hoping to dive into GTA Online should be warned that legacy and enhanced edition players have no crossover.
