Could GTA 6 Introduce a Revolutionary In-Game Cryptocurrency?
On December 5, 2024, Rockstar Games unveiled the long-awaited first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6). The trailer quickly amassed nearly 200 million views on YouTube, giving fans a glimpse of a vibrant modern world filled with gadgets, smartphones, and social media. Along with the hype surrounding the trailer, there are persistent rumors suggesting that Rockstar might introduce cryptocurrency as a new form of in-game currency in GTA 6.
Considering the game’s focus on contemporary technology and digital lifestyles, the idea of cryptocurrency being part of the in-game economy seems plausible. If these rumors prove true, it would be the first time Rockstar incorporates a cryptocurrency payment system for in-game transactions. Speculation points to players being assigned missions by anonymous billionaires, with payments made in cryptocurrency, maintaining discretion through blockchain technology.
With the game set in a modern-day environment, the inclusion of cryptocurrency in GTA 6 feels increasingly likely.
What Could Rockstar Name Its In-Game Cryptocurrency?
Fan speculation has run wild, with many suggesting that Rockstar might name the in-game cryptocurrency “$RSTAR.” This rumor has circulated widely on social media fan pages, though it remains purely speculative and unconfirmed by any official sources.
As of now, neither Rockstar Games nor its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, has confirmed whether cryptocurrency will play a role in GTA 6. Fans will have to wait for the game’s release to see if blockchain technology is introduced.
While the first trailer has already ignited significant excitement, players are eagerly looking forward to the release of a second trailer. GTA 6 is set to launch in 2025, with expectations that it could generate over $1 billion in revenue within just the first two days of its release.
