Rockstar has released a statement regarding two highly anticipated topics for the new game in the Grand Theft Auto series, GTA 6. The company announced that there will be no microtransaction system within the main game experience at launch and that generative AI was not used in content creation.
During the interview with Kinda Funny Games, Rockstar representatives were asked whether players would be able to purchase in-game items with real money. According to the response provided, there will be no microtransactions or in-game monetization mechanisms in the main GTA 6 game.
This choice is associated with the goal of preserving the independent structure of the single-player story experience. The statement also limited expectations regarding any plans Rockstar might have to announce a new Grand Theft Auto Online update or mode in the near term.
Another topic that came up during the interview was generative AI. The Rockstar team clearly stated that generative AI technologies were not utilized in GTA 6.
While anticipation for the game has increased following the gameplay trailer released last week, this statement from Rockstar has addressed the questions players had regarding both the monetization model and the use of artificial intelligence in the development process.
