Grand Theft Auto VI will be available on Xbox Cloud Gaming at launch, allowing Xbox One owners to play the game via streaming without upgrading to current-generation hardware, according to reporting from The Verge's Tom Warren. The title will be playable across Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S consoles.[1][2][4][5][7]

Streaming access is expected to be restricted to consoles. An Xbox blog post detailing the launch only references Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One, and VideoCardz reported that PC players are blocked from accessing the cloud streaming version. In addition to cloud gaming, the title will support Remote Play on both PlayStation and Xbox consoles, allowing players to stream the game locally from their consoles.[1][2][3][6][8]

Rockstar confirmed that GTA VI targets 30 frames per second across consoles, with Engadget noting ray-tracing support on the PlayStation 5 Pro. Microsoft is also preparing to add more titles from Rockstar Games to Xbox Cloud Gaming in the coming months, including Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2.[2][5][8]
