But, thanks to a cloud streaming deal with Xbox, you can technically play the game on the Xbox One.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">While GTA 6 will only be running locally on the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, Rockstar finally detailed which devices will be able to use Xbox Cloud Gaming to play the game. Its blog post says, &#8220;The game will also be available via Xbox Cloud Gaming on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles, utilizing Xbox Series S graphics settings.&#8221; So, you can technically play GTA 6 on the Xbox One, which launched all the way back in 2013, it just won&#8217;t be, well, running on the Xbox One itself. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We&#8217;ve known for a while that GTA 6 would be playable via Xbox Cloud Gaming, after an exclusive deal was announced in October. At the time, because of the wide swath of devices that can use Xbox Cloud Gaming, this deal fueled speculation that you&#8217;d be able to play GTA 6 on everything from a gaming PC to an iPhone. However, Xbox Chief Strategy Officer Matthew Ball later clarified that the game wouldn&#8217;t be streaming to PC. But, now, thanks to Rockstar&#8217;s blog, we now know the full extent of devices that can stream GTA 6. <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">GTA 6 Launch Screenshots<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2277167929 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The real catch to streaming GTA 6 is going to be the quality. According to the blog, the streaming version will be running at the same graphics settings as the Xbox Series S version, which is the weakest current-gen system. It&#8217;s not clear yet what the game will look like running on the Series S, but Rockstar did say that it was targeting 30fps on all of the consoles. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It&#8217;s likely that the Xbox Series S version of GTA 6 will be running at a lower resolution, though, which is probably the reason why Rockstar opted for that version of the game being used for streaming. Due to the immense demand that this game has, it&#8217;s likely that a <em>ton<\/em> of people are going to be trying to stream this game at launch, and opting for the lowest resolution version means less risk of Microsoft&#8217;s servers buckling under the weight. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">If you do want to play GTA 6 this way, though, keep in mind that Xbox Cloud Gaming comes with its own list of caveats. You&#8217;re at the mercy of your internet connection and Microsoft&#8217;s servers, and could deal with graphics artifacts due to bandwidth issues, lag, or just getting booted out of the game if the servers go down. Plus, Microsoft&#8217;s limits to Xbox Cloud Gaming went live this month, so even if you have a Game Pass Ultimate subscription, you&#8217;ll be limited to 15 hours of game time before you have to buy more. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">If you are going to play GTA 6 locally on your own console, you might want to save a nice chunk of storage for it, as it&#8217;s going to take up 212GB of space. With a game that big, you&#8217;re going to want to preload it if you want to play right when the game goes live too, and luckily preloads just went live this morning. <\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"poll-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"\/><\/span><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"author-sign-off\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><span class=\"stack jsx-59817748 jsx-1927875859\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"rounded jsx-444076027 jsx-1730475047 profile-thumb jsx-2141281959 aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-1-1\"><img alt=\"Jacqueline Thomas Avatar\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image profile-thumb-img jsx-249361588 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/avatars\/640f55c4f3866b000174a9c6\/RD5zbE5b_400x400-1679594933868.jpg?crop=1%3A1&amp;width=56&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/avatars\/640f55c4f3866b000174a9c6\/RD5zbE5b_400x400-1679594933868.jpg?crop=1%3A1&amp;width=56&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"stack jsx-2509706801 jsx-3630940851\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"interface jsx-1132626198 sign-off-text\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Jackie Thomas is the Senior Tech Editor at IGN and the PC components queen.
