Grand Theft Auto VI will be playable on day one through XBOX Cloud Gaming on XBOX One and XBOX Series X|S, starting at 1am ET. That means more players can experience one of the most anticipated games of the year on the consoles they already own.

We’re excited to bring Grand Theft Auto VI to more XBOX players at launch, and we will also be adding more titles from Rockstar Games to XBOX Cloud Gaming including Grand Theft Auto V, Red Dead Redemption 2, and more in the coming months.

Starting November 11, players in supported markets can buy cloud playtime to stream supported games without a Game Pass subscription. Streaming for Grand Theft Auto VI begins at 1am ET on November 19.
