I mostly play CS 1.6 and CS 2 on this community's servers, but I keep an eye on big releases and GTA VI is the one I'm actually planning around. The thing I'm unsure about is cloud access. I don't own a current Xbox, just an older PC, and I was hoping Xbox Cloud Gaming might be a way in without buying a console.
Someone on a general gaming forum pointed me to this article: GTA VI on Xbox Cloud Gaming: Xbox consoles only at launch https://viewtime.net/news/gta-vi-xbox-cloud-gaming-xbox-consoles-only. From what I gather, the cloud version would be limited to Xbox console owners at release, which throws off my plan of streaming it on PC.
For those who follow Xbox cloud stuff more closely than I do, is that restriction usually a launch window thing that opens up later, or does it tend to stay tied to console ownership? Curious how others here are planning to play it.
I'm in a similar spot, running an older PC and weighing whether to pick up a used Series S just for this. The link makes the console-ownership limit at launch sound fairly firm, and that's the part I'm unsure about, since I don't know if it quietly loosens after the release window or stays put. My concern is buying hardware I'd barely use otherwise. I'm leaning toward waiting for clearer word on how it's actually enforced rather than guessing now: GTA VI on Xbox Cloud Gaming: Xbox consoles only at launch https://viewtime.net/news/gta-vi-xbox-cloud-gaming-xbox-consoles-only. Has anyone here followed how these cloud restrictions played out with other big releases?
