The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is approaching, and various technical details are being revealed. Players have noticed support for the Xbox Cloud Gaming cloud service, which will allow people to play not only on modern consoles.
However, things are not so simple with Xbox Cloud Gaming. Although the service supports mobile devices and PCs, users will not be allowed to play (stream) Grand Theft Auto VI on them—the “cloud” version of the game will only work on consoles.
Information has also emerged that the cloud version of Grand Theft Auto VI will use the graphics settings of the weaker Xbox Series S console rather than Series X. Quality is lost during streaming, so Xbox Cloud Gaming is still not the ideal way to play GTA VI.
The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Preloading has already begun: the game weighs over roughly 220 GB (the size may vary slightly depending on the player's region).
The developers have not yet shared any information regarding the PC version of the game.
