GTA 6 Will Stream on Xbox One Through Cloud Gaming From 19 November: How It Works
GTA VI streams on Xbox One and Series X|S through Xbox Cloud Gaming from 1am ET on 19 November, using Series S settings. You still have to buy the game.
Grand Theft Auto VI will be playable on Xbox One on launch day, through the cloud. Microsoft announced on 10 November that the game will stream through Xbox Cloud Gaming on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S from 1am ET on 19 November (6am GMT, 7am CET). You still have to buy GTA VI separately, and the cloud version uses the Xbox Series S graphics settings.
Microsoft also calls it the most pre-ordered title of all time on the Microsoft Store, and is telling players to start pre-loading as soon as possible.
How you can play GTA VI on Xbox
- Xbox Series X: plays natively, and is available to pre-install now.
- Xbox Series S: also plays natively, and is available to pre-install now.
- Xbox One: streams through Xbox Cloud Gaming only.
You don't need Game Pass for the cloud
From 11 November, players in supported markets can buy cloud playtime to stream supported games without a Game Pass subscription, Microsoft says. It hasn't given prices or a list of markets in this announcement, and it notes that availability, purchase options and supported devices vary by market and device.
More Rockstar games are coming to the cloud
Microsoft says it will add more Rockstar Games titles to Xbox Cloud Gaming in the coming months, including Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2.
On PS5, pre-loading is already open. For download sizes, unlock times by region, prices and the PC question, see our GTA 6 FAQ.
