Is GTA 6 on PS4 or Xbox One? Platforms, Offline Play, PS Plus and Game Pass
GTA VI launches only on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Here is what the official store pages say about PS4, offline play, PS Plus, Game Pass and GTA Online.
GTA VI launches on 19 November on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. PlayStation's store page says "The game is not playable on PlayStation 4". Xbox One can't run the game itself, but it can stream it.
Xbox One: cloud streaming only
Microsoft announced on 10 November that Xbox One owners can stream GTA VI through Xbox Cloud Gaming. You still have to buy the game, streaming starts at 1am ET on 19 November, and the cloud version uses Xbox Series S graphics settings. Microsoft says availability "may vary by market and device".
Is it single-player?
Both store pages call GTA VI "a single-player experience". No online mode for GTA VI has been announced.
Can you play it offline?
PlayStation's page lists "Offline play enabled". Xbox's page says only that certain features may need an internet connection, and doesn't mention offline play.
Do you need PS Plus or Game Pass?
Neither store page lists PS Plus as a requirement, and Xbox doesn't describe the game as part of Game Pass. Neither page explicitly rules them out either.
For cloud streaming, Microsoft says players in supported markets can also buy cloud playtime instead of subscribing to Game Pass.
What about GTA Online?
Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick said on the 9 November earnings call that the company will continue to support GTA Online with new content and ongoing events, according to a published transcript.
Our read
If you're on PS4, you'll need a new console. On Xbox One, cloud streaming lets you play without upgrading, as long as it's available in your country and your internet is fast enough. On PC, read what Rockstar has and hasn't said. We'll update this page if Rockstar announces more platforms or an online mode.
