This weekend, the rumors proceed after Xbox Chat reportedly told a customer that it will retail for the usual $69.99 on the Microsoft Store, but that is hardly confirmation, let alone a good source.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Not injecting Ads due to No-Ads mode. --><!-- Not injecting Ads due to No-Ads mode. --><\/p>\n<p>Xbox Chat is an AI-powered virtual assistant, and is liable to mistakes, especially with information that has not been publicly confirmed. At most, CEO Strauss Zelnick has alluded that it won&#8217;t be $100 in various interviews, but we&#8217;re veering into speculation there. If this Xbox Chat screenshot is legitimate, which we&#8217;ll come to in a moment, then it&#8217;s likely pulling the figure from the usual triple-A price most other games retail at. It&#8217;s actually not a &#8220;leak.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>One other issue with claims like these is that web-based messages reminiscent of Xbox Chat can easily be manipulated with inspect element. So, any screenshots needs to be taken with a grain of salt unless they stem from a good source. But again, as a consequence of the error-prone nature of AI assistants, it&#8217;s unlikely that a good source would cite Xbox Chat as proof, anyway. Nonetheless, I made a decision to ask the chatbot myself to see what it will say, and was given the identical stock answer many times: &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, but I do not have information on the pricing for Grand Theft Auto 6.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Not injecting Ads due to No-Ads mode. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"we-39-ll-likely-find-out-the-truth-in-the-summer\">\n                        We&#8217;ll Likely Find Out The Truth In The Summer<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<p>Zelnick reaffirmed yet again this week that GTA 6 is on the right track to launch on November 19, with marketing to start this summer, so the worth will undoubtedly be revealed soon. It could thoroughly maintain the usual $69.99 price tag that triple-A games rose to after the launch of the PS5 and Xbox Series X\/S, or it could rise even higher to $80, as we saw with Mario Kart World, and as we almost saw with The Outer Worlds 2; we simply do not know yet. <\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the case, don&#8217;t take this rumor as gospel. It&#8217;s enticing to think Xbox Chat may need by accident leaked some private information from behind closed windows at Microsoft, but when the screenshot is real, then it&#8217;s likely just an AI blunder, which in the event you&#8217;ve ever used the tools, and even just Googled a question within the last 12 months or two, you will be all too acquainted with.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been almost three years since Take-Two Interactive finally announced GTA 6, and there have been countless supposed leaks in regards to the price tag, with worries bubbling that it&#8217;d retail for as much as $100, blowing right past the brand new $80 standard that Mario Kart World and Microsoft attempted to usher in.
