If you are like many gamers that have been unable to upgrade to the current generation of consoles and wanted to play Grand Theft Auto VI, we have good news. Today Xbox has announced that GTAVI will be available via Xbox Cloud Gaming.
With GTAVI available through cloud gaming this means that Xbox One owners will be able to stream the most anticipated game in history through their console. It appears this deal only includes Xbox consoles, as there is no mention of being able to stream through a PC.
This is a pretty significant piece of news considering how many gamers are still on last generation hardware. With a near $1000 price tag many are priced out, and even if you do have the spare cash, a new Xbox is hard to find in some regions.

According to a press release from Rockstar, the streaming version of GTAVI should run similarly to the Xbox Series S build of the game.
Most Pre-Ordered Game In Microsoft Store History
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma took to social media to talk about the historic 10 year deal the company signed with Rockstar parent company Take-Two:
“Today marks the first step in our new 10-year strategic partnership with Take-Two. GTA VI, already the most pre-ordered game ever on Microsoft Store, will be playable on XBOX One through cloud gaming when it launches on November 19.”
The most pre-ordered game ever on the Microsoft Store is quite the feat, though to be expected given the magnitude of GTAVI.
Players can begin to pre-load GTAVI onto their consoles today, and whether you are on Xbox Series S/X, Xbox One or PlayStation 5 you are going to need to take advantage of the extra time. On all consoles the games file size is 210GB or more making it the biggest install size of any game on console.
Grand Theft Auto VI launches November 19th at 1am local time. With the local launches, expect a lot of people “moving” to New Zealand next week.
