Speculation is rife that Rockstar Games might introduce real money payments in the next installment of GTA 6. A Web3 community builder tweeted that he received inside information through a source about real currency integration. According to his tweet, GTA 6 could be a play-2-earn game and reward players with real money for completing missions.
“BREAKING: GTA 6 will be Play to Earn!” he tweeted. The user also stated that he “just got off the phone with Rockstar” games. If this turns true, GTA 6 will tap into the P2E gaming segment that is mostly dominated by blockchain-based games.

Fact Check: Will GTA 6 Reward Players With Real Money?
Rockstar Games has not confirmed that the next installment of GTA will include real money payments. The gaming studio is tight-lipped about the developments providing little to no information about the games’ process. To no surprise, even Twitter flagged the user’s tweet citing “Neither ‘GTA 6’ or Rockstar said that.” The disclaimer also said, “The play-to-earn is also an old rumor, not a fact.”
