Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Cloud Gaming at launch, and will be playable on both the current-generation consoles (Xbox Series X|S) and the prior one (Xbox One). You read that right: Xbox One.
Xbox says GTA VI is “the most pre-ordered title of all time on the Microsoft Store,” and the company says it “encourage(s) everyone to begin pre-loading as soon as possible to ensure you’re prepared for launch day.”
Grand Theft Auto VI will be playable on day one via Cloud Gaming at 1 a.m. ET. The game uses Xbox Series S graphics settings when cloud-streamed.
GTA VI is 210 gb.
PlayStation players do not (currently) have this option.
To be clear, here is a handy, Xbox-provided guide to how and when you can play Grand Theft Auto VI.
- XBOX Series X: Play natively with the best XBOX console experience, available now to pre-install.
- XBOX Series S: The most affordable way to play GTA VI natively on XBOX, available now to pre-install.
- XBOX One: Stream Grand Theft Auto VI through XBOX Cloud Gaming on the XBOX One.
You’ll need one of those three devices — smart TVs, browsers and Fire sticks won’t cut it (for now).
Other Rockstar Games like Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 are coming to Xbox Cloud Gaming “in the coming months.”
Additionally, starting Wednesday, players in 29 supported markets can “buy cloud playtime to stream supported games without a Game Pass subscription,” per Xbox. (For 10 hours: $3.99, for 25 hours: $7.99, for 50 hours: $11.99.)
