Grand Theft Auto 6 is only coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S at launch, but that doesn’t mean those consoles will be the only places to play it. Technically, fans who are still on Xbox One, which came out back in 2013, will also have a shot at exploring Rockstar Games’ latest version of Vice City thanks to Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Microsoft revealed the surprise last-gen perk in an update to its cloud gaming program this week. “Grand Theft Auto VI will be playable on day one through Xbox Cloud Gaming on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, starting at 1am ET,” the company announced. “That means more players can experience one of the most anticipated games of the year on the consoles they already own. The game uses Xbox Series S graphics settings when cloud-streamed with Xbox Cloud Gaming.”
Series S graphics settings include the game running at a targeted 30fps framerate, the same as what will be available to players on Xbox Series X and PS5, as well as PS5 Pro. Sony’s more powerful hardware will still give players access to improved image quality with PSSR, but the game won’t run at 60fps anywhere, at least not at launch.
So what do you need in order to play GTA 6 on an Xbox One? Well, you’ll still need to own a digital copy of the game, which costs $80 and began pre-loading this week. You’ll also need access to Xbox Cloud Gaming, either via a Game Pass subscription or via à la carte pricing .
