Xbox gets exclusive rights to stream GTA 6 at launch
Xbox has reportedly struck a deal giving its cloud gaming service the sole rights to stream Grand Theft Auto 6 when the game launches in November. This means only Xbox Cloud Gaming users can play GTA 6 over the cloud at first—no word yet on how long that exclusivity lasts. Microsoft will also let people buy cloud gaming time by the hour starting in November, just as new limits on included streaming kick in.
