Xbox has secured exclusive GTA 6 streaming rights

According to sources familiar with Microsoft's plans, Xbox has managed to land a deal for the exclusive game streaming rights for Grand Theft Auto VI

the deal will mean only Xbox Cloud Gaming can stream Grand Theft Auto VI to players at launch, but it's not clear how long the agreement will be in place...Rockstar Games still hasn't announced a PC version of Grand Theft Auto VI, so this deal will allow Xbox to market its Xbox Cloud Gaming service to PC players who would otherwise need an Xbox Series X / S or PS5 console...

Clever, once you think about it.

So... It's not on Xbox Cloud Gaming. This doesn't make any sense. Are they talking about remote gaming, as in stream to another device from your console?

Maybe they're playing the dumb streaming restriction gamble & not allowing any streaming to external devices.
 
24 minutes of footage was leaked showing side missions, car customization and nudity (dicks.) Cyberleek again. I didn't get excited.

"GTA 6 Leaker Claims to Have Full Build, Threatens to Release It Unless Take-Two Apologizes​

by DrUsmanSaleem Today, 20:21 Discuss (2 Comments)
The notorious leaker known as Cyberleek is now threatening to release what is claimed to be a playable build of GTA 6 ahead of the game's November 19 launch. According to a post on the leaker's own website, the build supposedly includes the full story mode, playable through to the end credits. The threat comes with two conditions. The build would apparently go out if a meme coin tied to the leaker reaches a $30 million market cap, and the coin reportedly sits roughly $26 million short of that mark. The post also offers Take-Two a way to avoid the release, stating: "Take-Two gets one way out: physical disks and a public apology."

That is a reference to GTA 6 launching without a disc, as boxed copies are set to ship with a download code. Neither Take-Two nor Rockstar appears to have responded publicly so far, but Rockstar did acknowledge the leaks in late August. Tying the threat to a coin's market cap also gives the post an obvious financial angle, since the attention alone could move the price, so the claim is probably best treated with caution. The claim has not been independently verified, there is no date attached to it, and it may well turn out to be a bluff. Readers are also advised to stay away from the leaker's site and from any files that claim to be the full GTA 6 build, as there is no way to tell what they actually contain."

Or they are gambling that by the time the PC version of the game comes out Satya will have ten more warehouses full of GPUs he can't use, and gamers will be forced to stream the game from the cloud because they can't buy GPUs.

"GTA 6 Leaker Just Posted Footage Of Naked Lucia Parachuting

​

True to their word, Cyberleek has just uploaded a 5-minute GTA 6 video of Lucia exploring Leonida naked, parachuting from a rooftop with absolutely nothing but a helmet on.
We won't embed or link to the leak here, but the video opens with Cyberleek cruising through Vice City in what looks like a black-and-white Vapid Hustler before Lucia exits, revealing that she's completely nude.
The model is exceedingly detailed (as Reddit user ZamnBoii so elegantly put it, "bush confirmed"). "

Grain of salt, of course, but here's something that popped up on my feed this morning.

LOL, what is this site claiming to be the biggest B2B community in gaming? Never even heard of them.

Also from the article:

The user base of Grand Theft Auto V skews largely towards console players, with PC players representing a small minority. With GTA VI’s production budget rumored to exceed $2 billion, Rockstar is highly incentivized to pull all the levers it can as fast as it can to monetize the game’s upcoming sequel — and PC players represent a significant expansion of the GTA VI audience.

Which is it then bro? Are PC players a small minority or a significant expansion? Can't be both.
 
With world of Warcraft forever coming out, I don’t think I’ll get around to playing this till months after it’s release.

Especially if I can find a guild that raids around the time of day I can play (not standard hours for my region).

What? Because GTAV currently consists of a minority of PC players there can't also be an opportunity to grab a significant amount of new PC gamers with GTAVI?

I'm not even sure where they are getting it from that PC players are a small minority. What are they basing this statement on? There are no public player numbers beyond steam daily users. And if it's true why would GTA VI skew any differently? Especially with pc hardware shortages.

I think this article is completely unsubstantiated. That goes for the alleged Q1 release too. I'll believe it when I see it.

I wouldn't have declared a "small minority" without clear evidence, but PC gamers who'll buy GTA VI are a minority in the grander scheme of the game. PC gamers represent a smaller (if very significant) portion of overall gaming than consoles. Many of those are 'light' gamers or kids too young to play. GTA V continues to be one of the most popular games, but not every PC gamer has a copy.

The PC audience is certainly large enough to justify a GTA VI release, but you can safely call it a minority.

The announcement follows its unsuccessful attempt to push an associated cryptocurrency to a $30 million market capitalization in exchange for releasing what it claims is a complete playable build of the game.

PC generates $250k a week from GTA5. Consoles do nearly $5 million a week. This is from the hack earlier this year so yes PC players are the minority. RS makes very little off the FiveM servers so it doesn't matter to them.

They didnt buy fivem because it was a cash cow. It was to integrate it. FiveM also is the reason their game holds persistent in streaming viewership even right now. The partnership with nopixel is direct evidence of this.

That just means console players are better cash cows, not evidence of actual player numbers. I thought RP and modded servers are very popular in GTAV, which is not available on console. How much money they are printing is irrelevant when you claim PC players are a small minority. Small minority typically means bellow 10%. I simply don't believe that, unless they have the numbers to back up that claim.

Player number is irrelevant to RS. PC players are the minority when it comes to revenue generated which is what they care about.
 

“GTA 6 Qualifies for The Game Awards 2026 by a Single Day​

by DrUsmanSaleem Today, 20:02 Discuss (2 Comments)
GTA 6 will be eligible for Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2026, though only just. The show's updated FAQ says a game has to be commercially available on or before Friday, November 20, at 9 p.m. PT to qualify. GTA 6 launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, which puts it a single day inside the window, while the PC version is reportedly due in Q1 2027. The ceremony itself takes place on December 10 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Of course, being eligible and getting nominated are two different things. Nominees are picked by a jury of more than 100 media and influencer outlets. Enough jurors need to actually play the game before voting closes, and that part is a bit tricky.

Rockstar has been very guarded about leaks, going digital-only at launch, and it is currently dealing with threats from a leaker who claims to have a full build. Earlier this year, one report claimed reviewers might only get to play at a closed, in-person event. More recently, insider NateTheHate said review copies should go out before the end of October, though neither Rockstar nor Take-Two has confirmed anything about review access yet. If that pans out, jurors should have a few weeks with the game, and it's reasonable to expect GTA 6 to be a strong contender for Game of the Year.“

I suppose from their point of view, PC players are a minority when it comes to spending. Which is really their goal in the end of the day, to make money. PC gamers are more likely to wait for sales as well. Console gamers generally are more likely to pay full price day 1. Ignoring micro transactions, the margins are probably higher on console.

Example from Witcher 3, console sales start off stronger but long term PC retains a higher ratio, likely being sold at a lower cost per copy.

If you dig way back in this thread I linked the stats for PC versus console micro transactions on GTAV. IRRC console players spend like 3X as much monthly per capita.

Rockstar has the PC delay calculated out to make the maximum amount of money. So they get as many double dippers as possible, and people spending as much as possible on micro transactions.
 
Hmm if it's coming out for PC next year,maybe I'll return the unopened PS5 to Costco, or maybe I'll keep it for Playstation exclusives like Gran Turismo 7. Decisions decisions, I knew R* would pull something like this lol.
