Kathmandu, November 12, 2026 — After multiple delays, Grand Theft Auto VI is set to launch on November 19. The game has reportedly become the most pre-ordered title of all time on the Microsoft Store since pre-orders opened in June.
Microsoft has announced that players will be able to stream the game through Xbox Cloud Gaming from launch day. The service will support Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and even the older Xbox One.
Cloud streaming will begin at 11:45 am Nepal time on November 19 (1:00 am Eastern Time). The cloud version will use graphics settings equivalent to those of the Xbox Series S.
Players with an Xbox Series X or Series S can also play the game natively on their consoles. Pre-installation is already available on both systems, and Microsoft is encouraging players to download the game in advance due to expected demand.
From November 11, players in supported markets will also be able to purchase cloud gaming time, allowing them to stream supported titles without a Game Pass subscription. However, GTA VI will still need to be purchased separately.
Microsoft has also said that more Rockstar Games titles will arrive on Xbox Cloud Gaming in the coming months, including Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2.
