Grand Theft Auto VI Heads to Xbox Cloud Gaming at Launch

Source: Date:

Grand Theft Auto VI is set to arrive on November 19 following multiple delays, and Microsoft has confirmed some exciting news for fans: the game will be streamable via Xbox Cloud Gaming the moment it launches. Whether you're on an Xbox Series X, an Xbox Series S, or even the aging Xbox One, you'll be able to jump into Rockstar's highly anticipated open-world title on day one. The game has already shattered records, becoming the most pre-ordered title in Microsoft Store history since pre-orders opened in June.

Cloud streaming will go live at 1AM ET on November 19, with the streamed version running on Xbox Series S graphics settings. Players who own an Xbox Series X or Series S can also enjoy the game natively, and pre-installation is already available on both consoles. Microsoft is urging players to pre-load the game early, citing the enormous expected demand.

In addition, beginning November 11, gamers in supported regions will have the option to purchase cloud playtime, a new offering that allows streaming of supported titles without requiring a Game Pass subscription. Keep in mind, however, that GTA VI itself must still be purchased separately.

Microsoft has also teased that additional Rockstar titles will join Xbox Cloud Gaming over the coming months, with GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 among the confirmed additions. As always, availability, purchasing options, supported devices, and features may differ depending on your market.
