Rockstar has just announced that pre-loads for GTA 6 are now live. If you have pre-ordered the game, you can now download it on your Xbox Series X|S or PlayStation 5 console. Tucked into the company’s press note is also confirmation that the highly anticipated game will also make its way to Xbox Cloud Gaming. Moroever, Rockstar has confirmed that in addition to the current-gen Xbox Series X and S consoles, you can also play the game (streamed) on previous-generation Xbox One consoles.
“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,” the studio said in a press release. “GTAVI will also fully support Remote Play on PlayStation and XBOX.” As far as the pre-load goes, it requires over 200GB+ of free space on your console.
In case you aren’t familiar with Xbox Remote Play, it lets you stream games from your console to a variety of other screens, including a PC, phone, tablet, and TV, among others. Xbox Remote Play supports titles installed on your console, including those available via the Xbox Game Pass library. As far as requirements go, you’ll need an internet connection with at least 10 Mbps download speed over 5GHz Wi-Fi or mobile data. On the software side, you’ll need an Android phone, an iPhone running iOS 15.1 or later, or a Windows PC. Supported consoles include the Xbox Series X, Series S, and Xbox One.
As far as cloud gaming goes, you can play directly in a web browser without having to install or download the game on a console or PC. Xbox Cloud Gaming is bundled with Xbox Game Pass, with a few differences depending on the tier that you pay for. On the Essential plan, cloud gaming time is limited to five hours per month, going up to 10 hours with the Premium plan and 15 hours with the Ultimate tier.
While at it, Rockstar has also confirmed that GTA 6 targets 30 frames per second on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Of course, if you have the more powerful PlayStation 5 Pro, you can take advantage of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) and ray-traced shadows, which are exclusive to the PS5 Pro, for more immersive visuals.
