Will GTA 6 be 100 dollars?

No, the base price for GTA 6 is very unlikely to be $100; most industry insiders and research point towards the current AAA standard of $70 for the base game, with potential for premium editions or bundles (like a $99 pre-order package) to include extra GTA Online content, but a $100 base price would likely harm sales and is seen as unnecessary given the game's massive anticipation and GTA Online's future revenue, sayTweakTown and IGN https://www.ign.com/articles/gta-6-at-100-would-be-a-bridge-too-far-even-for-grand-theft-auto.

Is the Xbox Series S still worth it in 2025?

Yes, the Xbox Series S is still worth it in 2025 for budget-conscious gamers, families, kids, and those wanting easy access to Xbox Game Pass, offering next-gen performance (though often at 1080p/30fps) at a low entry price, but it's not ideal for 4K enthusiasts or those needing massive storage without expansion.

Are there games you can't play on Series S?

You can't play games requiring a disc drive (physical copies), games needing Kinect sensors, or titles specifically not optimized/available for the Series S (like some older games hitting memory limits or requiring higher specs than the S offers, though most big games run fine with performance differences). The Series S is a digital-only, current-gen console, so its limitations are mainly disc-related and performance-tiered compared to the Series X, not fundamental incompatibility with most modern games.
