Xbox denies exclusive GTA 6 streaming rights and rules out PC streaming
Xbox has pushed back on a report claiming it holds exclusive streaming rights to GTA 6, adding that the game cannot be streamed on PC.
According to Dexerto, Xbox has denied a report suggesting that it holds exclusive streaming rights for Grand Theft Auto VI. The company also stated that the game cannot be streamed on PC.
The denial addresses speculation that Microsoft had secured some form of exclusive cloud arrangement for Rockstar's next open-world title. Xbox's response makes clear that no such deal exists, at least according to the company itself. Rockstar Games and Take-Two have not commented on the matter.
The remark about PC streaming is likely to draw the most attention. Some PC players had hoped cloud services might offer an early way to play GTA 6 on their machines before any native release. Xbox's statement indicates that this route will not be available.
For context, Rockstar has officially announced GTA 6 only for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A PC version has not been announced, which follows the studio's past pattern of bringing its biggest games to consoles first, as it did with GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2.
Players hoping to play on PC should watch for any official announcement from Rockstar or Take-Two, since only the publisher can confirm a native PC release or any future streaming plans.
