On November 11, Microsoft provided guidance on how to play *Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6)*—scheduled for release on November 19—on various Xbox models.
Use the Series S graphics settings when streaming
According to this announcement, in addition to the Xbox Series X|S, the game will also be playable on Xbox One via Xbox Cloud Gaming starting at 3:00 p.m. Japan Standard Time on November 19. When playing via the cloud, the same graphics settings as the Xbox Series S will be applied.
With the release of “GTA 6” approaching, if you’re planning to buy a game console now, one option is to save on the console cost by purchasing a used Xbox One. For example, the average used price for the original Xbox One is around 10,000 yen. You’ll need to add the cost of the game itself (digital version) to this.
Additionally, starting November 11, Xbox Cloud Gaming will be available even to non-Game Pass subscribers (in supported countries and regions), though playtime will need to be purchased separately.In tests for Xbox Insider Program participants that began in October, playtime was offered at $3.99 (about 634 yen) for 10 hours, $7.99 (about 1,269 yen) for 25 hours, and $11.99 (about 1,904 yen) for 50 hours.
As of this writing, it is unclear whether this service will be available in Japan or what the actual prices will be. However, if a 10-hour package were available in Japan at a price similar to that of the test, players could start playing for around 30,000 yen, including the cost of a used console and games.
"Grand Theft Auto VI" is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026, for PS5 and XBOX Series X|S. It will also be playable on Xbox One via Xbox Cloud Gaming.
