Microsoft denies the exclusive cloud gaming for GTA VI, but Take-Two actions continue to decline

The Xbox Chief Strategy Officer, Matthew Ball, dismissed rumors that Microsoft would achieve the exclusivity of cloud streaming for GTA 6. He confirmed that the game will be available on Xbox on November 19, but not streaming on PC. Nevertheless, investors maintain a cautious attitude. Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) shares are down 21.4% this year and Polymarket traders estimate a probability of only 4% for further referral. The news was reported first by The Verge, citing Xbox internal documents. According to the source, subscribers could play streaming on PC, TV and phones since launch. The article also highlights the new limits introduced for cloud gaming on Game Pass: Ultimate users would be entitled to 15 hours of streaming per month. Ball, joined the Xbox leadership team in May, clarified Microsoft's position on X (Twitter). This means that GTA 6 will be released exclusively on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, while PC players will have to wait for a later version. This situation reports the launch of the game to a traditional console model, without innovations related to cloud gaming. Bets on Polymarket reflect uncertainty. A contract asks if Rockstar Games will postpone GTA 6 again and the answer "Yes" is exchanged at only 4 cents, with a volume of approximately 836,000 dollars. Historically, the study has already delayed the title twice, after an initial anticipation in 2025. Despite this, Rockstar maintained its release plans for GTA 6 also following leaks in August. TTWO shares amounted to approximately 202 dollars, with a 21.7% loss compared to the previous year. The chart shows two significant stocks: one in February last and another at the end of August, when the stocks fell from about 233 dollars. The prediction market sector is experiencing a moment of growth, with record quarterly volumes. The GTA 6 release on November 19 will continue to influence the reactions of both traders and investors. The original source is it.beincrypto. com. VERDETTO: CRITICO Il fatto che Matthew Ball abbia dovuto smentire esplicitamente un accordo di streaming esclusivo su PC per GTA VI è, a mio avviso, una chiara indicazione di un disastro comunicativo da parte di Xbox. Il valore del titolo sulle prediction market (4% di probabilità di un ulteriore rinvio) si basa sull'incertezza che Microsoft ha involontariamente alimentato, e la smentita finale serve solo a confermare il timore diffuso: l’esclusività console rimane l’unica certezza. Il fatto che le azioni Take-Two continuino a scendere, supportate da un contratto su Polymarket con una probabilità del 4%, sottolinea la pressione finanziaria che Microsoft sta esercitando con questa strategia apparentemente arbitraria. L'assenza di innovazione legata al cloud gaming per il lancio è un punto debole significativo e fa sorgere domande sulla direzione futura di Rockstar Games e, indirettamente, sull'intero ecosistema Xbox.
