Doom can be called one of the most-played video games of all time. Not because this game has broken some records for concurrent players on Steam, but because it’s pretty much everywhere. It’s on calculators, smart watches, and even refrigerators with a tiny display on them. And now, it seems like GTA V is going down a similar path.

At one point in its life cycle, this was the most detailed and good-looking open-world game ever. This trophy was quickly snatched up by Red Dead Redemption 2. But people still play GTA a lot, and it only makes sense that someone found a way to play it on their smartwatch!

GTA V is now available to play on a smartwatch, all thanks to Xbox Cloud Gaming!

The main charm of this service comes from the fact that it’s completely free with Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass Ultimate service. If one subscribes to this higher tier of Microsoft’s monthly game service, they get a bunch of exciting games as well as the ability to stream them anywhere on the go.

A user on Twitter decided that’s all they needed to bring one of the best open-world games of all time with them everywhere. The person simply starts the cloud stream and gives a demonstration of the opening mission of GTA V on that tiny little display. If not practical, it’s something of a marvel; people might not care to play on that watch, but they would surely be blown away by it.

Yep, classic doom titles have quickly become the norm on these underpowered little devices. It’s about time we shift our attention to more modern classics. Skyrim is already on its way, with similar ports for pretty much every device in existence. Now we have to make a similar case for GTA V.
