GTA fans have been waiting for the next game in the series, GTA VI, for over a decade. The game is one of the most anticipated titles of 2025 and ever since it was announced that it will launch in the fall of next year, gamers around the world are excited to know more about it. There are many speculations and rumors about the upcoming game on social media. While some rumors are based on facts and evidence, some rumors seem to be wild. One rumor that is doing the rounds online is that players in GTA VI can be paid in cryptocurrency for in-game missions. Yes, you read that right.

According to a report by Watcher Guru, GTA VI players may get cryptocurrencies as in-game payments for completing missions in the much-anticipated Rockstar Games title. The concept is intriguing, but has not been confirmed by reliable sources. Rockstar Games has not officially announced any plans to include cryptocurrencies in GTA 6. Hence, it is essential to take these rumours with a pinch of salt and wait for official statements from the developers.

As far as the rumor is concerned, the report suggests that the billionaire gangsters in the game may assign missions and reward players with a cryptocurrency, presumably named $RSTAR, an abbreviation for Rockstar Games. However, the report does not provide concrete evidence to support this claim, raising questions about its authenticity.

On the other hand, given Rockstar’s history of parodying real-world trends and events in the Grand Theft Auto series, the inclusion of cryptocurrencies as a form of in-game payment isn’t entirely far-fetched. Cryptocurrency has been a hot topic in recent years, making it a likely candidate for Rockstar’s satirical treatment. The feature could serve as a gimmick within the game, reflecting the company’s inclination to integrate contemporary themes into their titles. For instance, the game’s first trailer lets us know that social media will be a big part of GTA VI. The trailer shows various characters in an app like TikTok, which has been making waves on the internet. Thus, if elements like social media apps are being inserted into the game, the rumored use of cryptocurrencies seems quite possible.

Despite the speculation, there is no way to verify the validity of these rumors at this time. Neither Rockstar Games nor its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, have confirmed any plans to integrate cryptocurrency into GTA 6. Therefore, fans will have to wait for official announcements to see if this feature will be included.

On a related note, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick recently shed some light on the PC release for GTA VI in an interview with Video Games Chronicle. His comments were somewhat vague, leaving room for various interpretations. “Well, from what I’ve seen, the lack of news is not set in stone, because what happens after the lack of news is just an announcement, or a continued lack of news. I think that can happen as well. I don’t think any of these things are set in stone,” Zelnick said.

This shows that while a PC release hasn’t been confirmed, it’s not entirely impossible.
