How to play Grand Theft Auto V on cloud gaming

You can play Grand Theft Auto V on cloud gaming in two ways: either through a subscription that includes the game or by streaming your own game copy (BYOG). Below, we describe both methods so you can choose the one that works for you.

Method 1

Play without owning the game

To play Grand Theft Auto V on cloud gaming without buying it, you can use a catalog-based service where the game is included in the subscription plan:

  • Xbox Cloud in the Premium and Ultimate plan
  • Playstation Cloud in the Plus Premium plan

After subscribing, you can open the service's catalog in the dedicated app or in your browser (if supported). From there, you can start the stream and play Grand Theft Auto V without installing or downloading it. The plan will also give you access to other games in the service's catalog.

Method 2

Bring your own game (BYOG)

If you want to play Grand Theft Auto V on cloud gaming with your own copy, you can use a catalog-based service that supports it as a BYOG title on its subscription plans:

  • Boosteroid: works with any plan

To use your own copy of the game, you need to link the store account where you own it to the cloud gaming service. Supported store versions can vary by service:

Once your store account is linked, you can open the service's catalog, select Grand Theft Auto V, and start streaming in your browser or a supported app. Depending on the service, a brief cloud setup may be required before the first launch. The plan can also be used to stream other games you own that are available in the service's catalog.
