GTA 6 on PC? Not Yet. Make GTA V Look Next-Gen Instead

GTA 6 is out on 19 November 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. There is no PC version yet. If you're on PC, GTA 5 Redux is a free way to make Los Santos look a lot closer to next-gen while you wait.

Is GTA 6 on PC?

Not at launch. Grand Theft Auto VI releases on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only, and Rockstar has not announced a PC version or a PC release date. Rockstar’s previous games came to PC later than consoles: GTA V arrived on PC about a year and a half after its first console release, and Red Dead Redemption 2 about a year after.

So if you play on PC, the closest thing you can play today is GTA V, and with mods it can look a lot better than the version you remember.

GTA 5 Redux is a mod for GTA V. It is not GTA 6, it does not contain any GTA 6 content, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive.

What GTA 5 Redux changes

GTA 5 Redux is a free overhaul for GTA V on PC. It rebuilds the parts of the game that show its age most:

  • Weather and lighting - rebuilt rain, storms, fog, skies and time-of-day lighting, including wet-road reflections at night
  • Textures - higher-detail terrain, roads, buildings and vegetation across Los Santos and Blaine County
  • Effects - reworked explosions, fire, smoke and weapon effects
  • ReShade - 16 optional presets you can switch between in-game
  • Gameplay (full version only) - reworked police, weapons, traffic and pedestrian AI, vehicle handling and physics

Only want the looks? The visuals-only version keeps vanilla gameplay.

Which version of GTA V do I need?

Redux works with GTA V Legacy on PC (Steam or Rockstar Warehouse), currently build 1.0.3889.0. It does not work with Rockstar’s 2025 Enhanced Edition re-release, because OpenIV, the tool used to install it, does not support Enhanced.

If you own GTA V on Steam, the Legacy version is still available to install alongside Enhanced.

Will my PC run it?

If your PC runs vanilla GTA V comfortably, it will run Redux. Expect roughly a 5-15 FPS drop compared to vanilla, depending on the ReShade preset you pick. You’ll also need around 70 GB of free disk space while installing. See the full system requirements.

Is it safe?

Redux is for Story Mode only. Never load it, or any mod, in GTA Online: re-enable BattlEye and remove the mod loader files before going online, or you risk a ban. The installation guide covers this step by step, including how to uninstall cleanly.

Get started

  1. Download GTA 5 Redux (full or visuals-only, direct or torrent)
  2. Follow the installation guide on a clean copy of GTA V Legacy
  3. Launch Story Mode and pick a ReShade preset with the Home key
