Rockstar Games has today clarified a few remaining details about Grand Theft Auto 6’s framerate target and visual settings on PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X/S. And as part of the same announcement, the developer revealed a key detail about the game’s cloud streaming options.

GTA 6 will be available to stream via Xbox Cloud Gaming. However, this is only possible on Xbox Series X/S consoles, as well as – surprisingly – the last generation console, Xbox One. Notably, that means you can’t use Xbox Cloud Gaming to stream to PC, or other devices, despite it being useable there.

You may recall that in early October, a Verge report said Microsoft had acquired exclusive cloud streaming rights for GTA 6, with the understanding being that the game would be available to stream on any XCloud-supported device – as in, to PC as well. Xbox immediately shot down the report, saying GTA 6 “will not be streaming exclusively or to PC”.

Perhaps more surprisingly, the cloud-streamed version will be using Series S graphics settings, not those of the more powerful Series X console. Considering the loss in quality inherent in cloud streaming, this will make for a less-than-ideal way of experiencing the game.

Beyond cloud streaming, GTA 6 supports Remote Play on PlayStation and Xbox, so you can stream the game on your local network to any device, from a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S console.

GTA 6 pre-loading is now available across PlayStation and Xbox. The code-in-box physical editions have also started shipping, letting you claim the code and pre-load your copy in time for GTA 6’s 19th November launch.
