  "account": "Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 will not include microtransactions or generative AI at launch in November. The studio addressed these concerns during a recent conversation with Kinda Funny Games. This means the game will likely avoid backlash from these two potential controversies. Rockstar stated that players will not be able to use real-world money to purchase in-game items, and there will be no AI used in the game. However, the Ultimate Edition of the game will offer exclusive content through gated purchases at a premium price. The game is set to release on November 19, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.",
