Rockstar Games realizes Grand Theft Auto VI available on Xbox Cloud Gaming when it launches next week. While you would normally assume that this would mean Grand Theft Auto VI reportedly available for streaming on PC, web, Xbox consoles and even TVs, it appears to be limited to only Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One consoles.
This means anyone with an old Xbox One console can stream Grand Theft Auto VI instead of having to upgrade to a PS5 or Xbox Series S/X console to play. Rockstar notes that Xbox Cloud Gaming will use Xbox Series S graphics settings to stream to Xbox consoles. This also means that Microsoft effectively has exclusivity on streaming Grand Theft Auto VI from the cloud for launch, but only on Xbox consoles.
I originally reported last month that Microsoft had secured an exclusive Grand Theft Auto VI cloud streaming rights, but Xbox chief strategy officer Matthew Ball revealed on Grand Theft Auto VI exclusively. Although Microsoft’s contract doesn’t specifically stipulate exclusivity, the end result for now is exclusive cloud gaming on Xbox. Sony could eventually announce its own cloud streaming plans for the game, but Rockstar Games notes that Grand Theft Auto VI “will also fully support Remote Play on PlayStation and Xbox. » This is not cloud streaming, however.
I also initially reported that Grand Theft Auto VI would be available for streaming on PC, simply because Xbox Cloud Gaming’s goal is to make games available on Xbox consoles, TVs, PCs and the web. It’s strange to see a rare exception for Grand Theft Auto VIbut not entirely surprising. Perhaps Microsoft will eventually be able to release the PC version of Grand Theft Auto VI every time he launches.
Rockstar Games also confirms Grand Theft Auto VI will run at 30 frames per second on PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series S/X consoles. The main advantage of a PS5 Pro is ray-traced shadows and support for PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR).
