GTA 6 is officially available for pre-load on all consoles.

As we all know, GTA 6 is not getting a PC release at launch (though we'll likely get it in the future). If you want to play it when the game launches on November 19, you'll need to have either a PlayStation or an Xbox console. While it was believed you'd need a current-gen console to run the game, that might not be entirely true.

It has recently been revealed that the Xbox One will be able to run GTA 6. Here's what we know so far.

In their blog, it was revealed that GTA 6 will be available via Xbox Cloud Gaming on both the Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One consoles, utilizing XBOX Series S graphics settings. GTA 6 will also fully support Remote Play on both Xbox and PlayStation.

This is great for gamers who haven't gotten rid of their Xbox One - and might have been considering it to play GTA 6. Xbox One was released in 2013, making the console over a decade old.

It's the only non-current-gen console to play GTA 6 on. Despite partnering closely with PlayStation for its marketing, the game will not be released on the PlayStation 4. However, Rockstar has stated that the game will perform best on PlayStation 5 consoles.
