  "account": "The cheapest way to play Grand Theft Auto VI on launch day is by combining a 512GB all-digital Xbox Series S priced at $499.99 with the standard digital edition of the game at $79.99. This brings your total day-one setup cost to $579.98. Although buying a new console solely for a single game might seem like a hefty investment, GTA 6 necessitates this decision. Rockstar Games has opted to forgo a PC launch, meaning players eager to explore Vice City on November 19 will require physical console hardware. When comparing premium options, the price becomes even more daunting. The PS5 Pro, for example, costs $899.99 before factoring in the software, pushing a day-one setup beyond $979. However, you don't need to break the bank to be there at launch. The most economical route to play GTA 6 on day one is by pairing the Xbox Series S with the standard digital edition of the game.",
