AI Coder Races to Beat GTA 6 Launch
13 Jun
Summary
- 25-year-old founder is building his own GTA 6 using AI.
- He aims to launch his AI-generated version before Rockstar's.
- Vibe coding leverages AI assistants for code generation and debugging.
A 25-year-old founder, Ziwen Xu, has embarked on an ambitious project to develop his own version of Grand Theft Auto VI using AI. He began this endeavor recently, aiming to complete the game before Rockstar's official release, which is slated for November. Xu is documenting his progress daily on X, sharing the code repository on GitHub and detailing his use of AI assistants for 'vibe coding.'
This approach involves using natural language prompts to generate and debug code, with Xu utilizing advanced AI models for his project. Initially, the game featured basic elements like a blue oval on gray blocks, but it has rapidly evolved to include urban landscapes, NPCs, and driving vehicles. The project is inspired by discussions around AI's potential to create games of GTA-caliber quality and scope, pushing the boundaries of AI-assisted development.
