Rockstar Games has announced that Grand Theft Auto 6 will launch without microtransactions or generative AI at its release. This information was revealed during a discussion with Kinda Funny Games, where an inquiry about in-game purchases and the use of generative AI in GTA 6's development was met with a definitive no from Rockstar representatives.
Earlier this year, parent company Take-Two Interactive reportedly downsized its AI team, including its head of AI, and CEO Strauss Zelnick has publicly stated that AI is not capable of genuine creativity. Despite this, GTA 6 will feature gated content in its Ultimate Edition, priced at £90, which includes exclusive cosmetics, vehicles, weapons, and exclusive shops and services.
