The brief
Rockstar Games has published a new article on the Rockstar Newswire confirming that Grand Theft Auto 6, which launches next week, will be accessible via Xbox Cloud Gaming. According to Insider Gaming, this service is available as part of the Game Pass subscription ecosystem and allows streaming to Xbox Series X|S consoles and Xbox One consoles, bringing last-generation platforms into the equation. The game will also support Remote Play on both Xbox and PlayStation platforms, meaning players can stream the game to other devices. In Xbox's case, this means users could theoretically stream the game to a PC or laptop using the Remote Play function, making it technically playable on PC via a streaming solution linked to the Xbox platform, though it is far from a native PC version. Rockstar stressed a significant caveat: when playing via Xbox Cloud Gaming on Xbox Series X consoles, the game will utilize Xbox Series S graphics settings. Earlier today, Rockstar Games and PlayStation released a new GTA 6 trailer to celebrate the beginning of the pre-load window, which will run for the next week to allow players to prepare for the launch.
