After several delays, Grand Theft Auto VI is finally scheduled to arrive on November 19. The game has already generated significant interest, becoming the most pre-ordered title of all time on the Microsoft Store since pre-orders opened in June. Now, Microsoft has confirmed that players will be able to stream the highly anticipated title through Xbox Cloud Gaming from its first day of release.

The service will support streaming on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and even the older Xbox One. Cloud streaming is scheduled to begin at 1AM ET on November 19, although the streamed version will use graphics settings based on the Xbox Series S.

Players who own an Xbox Series X or Series S will also have the option of playing GTA VI natively on their consoles. Pre-installation is already available on both systems, and Microsoft is encouraging players to download the game ahead of launch due to the expected demand.

Starting November 11, players in supported markets will also be able to purchase cloud playtime, allowing them to stream supported games without needing an active Game Pass subscription. However, GTA VI will still have to be purchased separately to access it through the service.

Microsoft has also confirmed that more Rockstar Games titles will be added to Xbox Cloud Gaming over the coming months. These will include Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2.

As usual, availability, purchasing options, supported devices, and features may vary depending on the market.
