Yes, if you own a PS5 and GTA 6. PlayStation Portal and the PS Remote Play app stream the game from your own PS5, so you can play on the Portal, a phone, a tablet or a PC. The game still runs on your console. Estimate
Xbox owners can do the same with Xbox Remote Play through the Xbox app.
Remote Play is the one way to play GTA 6 on a handheld screen at launch. It is not cloud gaming: your console does the work at home and streams the picture to your device. That means you need a PS5 or Xbox, a copy of the game and a good connection.
What you need
| Item | PS5 | Xbox Series X|S |
|---|---|---|
| Console and GTA 6 | Yes | Yes |
| Device | PlayStation Portal, or the PS Remote Play app on phone, tablet, PC or Mac | Xbox app on phone, tablet or PC |

| Console setting | Remote Play on, rest mode allows network | Remote features on, sleep power mode |
Speed figures come from Sony's Remote Play guidance. Real quality depends more on stability and latency than raw speed.
How to make it smooth
- Connect the console by cable to your router. This is the single biggest improvement.
- Use 5 GHz Wi-Fi on the Portal or phone, close to the router.
- Play at home first. Streaming away from home works but depends on your home upload speed.
- Keep other heavy downloads paused while you play.
What to expect
GTA 6 runs at 30 FPS on consoles Reported, and Remote Play adds a little delay on top. Driving and walking feel fine on a good connection. Fast aiming feels less precise than playing directly on the TV. The picture is compressed, so it looks softer than on a good TV, especially on a big tablet.
PlayStation Portal tips
The Portal connects only over Wi-Fi, so it depends on a strong signal. Keep it close to a 5 GHz router, wire the PS5 to the router, and turn on the PS5's rest mode network option so you can wake the console from the Portal. If the picture breaks up, lower other network use at home first. More on connection speeds in GTA 6 internet requirements.
Without a console
Remote Play needs your own PS5 or Xbox. Without one, there is no official way to play GTA 6 at launch: no PC or mobile version exists, and no cloud service streams it. See GTA 6 cloud gaming and is GTA 6 on mobile?
