Rockstar Games shared new details Tuesday about how Grand Theft Auto VI will look and run on current-generation consoles, but the most notable revelation was that the game will also be playable on the last-generation Xbox One at launch through Xbox Cloud Gaming. The cloud version will be available to Xbox Game Pass subscribers starting at 1 a.m. ET on Nov. 19, the same day GTA 6 launches.
With Xbox Cloud Gaming, players will be able to stream GTA 6 to either an Xbox One or an Xbox Series console. Streaming to a newer Xbox Series system may be unnecessary if the game can be run natively, but the option will still exist. When GTA 6 is played through the cloud, the stream will use the Xbox Series S version’s graphics settings.
There is a significant catch. Xbox imposed strict hourly limits on cloud gaming this month, allowing subscribers to stream games for only five to 15 hours per month depending on their Game Pass tier. Cloud gaming is also dependent on internet quality, so buffering, latency, and poor visual quality can affect the experience.
Because of those limits and streaming drawbacks, players may still be better off trying to find a current-generation console, especially if they plan to spend long sessions in GTA 6.
