GTA 6 Has No Microtransactions and No Generative AI

Two of the biggest questions about modern games got one-word answers. Asked on Kinda Funny Games whether GTA 6 sells anything for real money or uses generative AI, Rockstar said no to both.

What it changes in the game

  1. GTA 6 moneyNew

    No in-game purchases with real money: Rockstar described "no monetisations in this game". Every dollar in Leonida comes from playing. Official [1]

  2. GTA 6 activitiesNew

    No generative AI either. Take-Two's Strauss Zelnick said earlier this year that it has "zero part" in what Rockstar builds, and that the world is made by hand. Official [1]

  3. GTA 6 editionsAlready known

    Paying more up front is still possible: the Ultimate Edition at $99.99 adds vehicles, weapons, shops and a compound raid. Official [2][3]

Still unknown: Whether GTA 6 Online, when it comes, follows the same rule.
