Xbox secures GTA 6 streaming rights from launch
Xbox Cloud Gaming will stream Grand Theft Auto VI to players from the game's November launch.
Microsoft has secured streaming rights for GTA 6 on Xbox Cloud Gaming, available when the game releases in November. The deal is not exclusive to Xbox, and the game will not stream to PCs through the service.
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma told staff the deal represents something no other platform holder is currently doing. From November, Microsoft is also changing Cloud Gaming access: Game Pass Ultimate subscribers get just 15 hours of streaming, Premium gets 10 hours, and Essential gets 5 hours.
A new pay-as-you-go option launches the same month, letting players buy bundles of hours without a subscription.
