The report follows an internal town hall held this week, where Xbox CEO Asha Sharma reportedly told employees that the company has something planned around GTA 6 that no other platform holder is doing. According to the account, Sharma did not describe the deal in detail, and neither Microsoft nor Rockstar has officially confirmed it. The duration of any exclusivity, and whether cloud streaming would require purchasing the game, has not been clarified.
