# GTA 6 To Launch With No Microtransactions or Generative AI > Source: > Published: 2026-08-30 18:46:09+00:00 Take-Two CEO, Strauss Zelnick, has [previously commented on generative AI](https://www.techpowerup.com/352043/xbox-ceo-asha-sharma-dodges-questions-about-helix-disc-drive) in gaming, stating that "generative AI has zero part in what Rockstar Games is building," suggesting that there would be no AI-generated assets in GTA VI. Now, following the Gamescom GTA VI gameplay preview, [Kinda Funny Games](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd81Md-kByI) published a podcast episode discussing a Q&A session the journalists had had with Rockstar, in which Rockstar confirmed that there would be no AI in GTA VI. Taking it a step further than that, Rockstar confirmed that there were "no monetizations in this game," meaning that it would feature no in-game microtransactions, season passes, or other monetizations at launch. It stands to reason that Rockstar and Take-Two may add these features at a later date, but it seems like the gaming giants are playing it safe with potentially controversial tech—the negative impacts of artificial intelligence in gaming has been a common topic lately, much to the chagrin of companies like [EA](https://www.techpowerup.com/350240/ea-exec-says-ai-everything-helps-creativity-workflows-and-pipelines), [Pearl Abyss](https://www.techpowerup.com/347630/pearl-abyss-apologizes-for-ai-generated-in-game-artwork-we-should-have-clearly-disclosed-our-use-of-ai), and [Capcom](https://www.techpowerup.com/347634/capcom-reveals-it-will-use-generative-ai-in-game-dev-for-effiency-but-not-final-assets).
