No monetization involved in GTA 6 single-player story mode
During an interview with Kinda Funny Games, the host Andy Cortez asked Rockstar North co-studio head Rob Nelson if the game would allow players to use real money in the world of GTA 6.
Rob Nelson answer was pretty straightforward: “No monetization.”
This has now confirmed that the single-player story campaign will not feature microtransactions, premium currencies, or in-game purchases.
You can experience the whole campaign story without worrying about any additional purchases or paid content that may affect the gameplay.
These are one-off, and not in-game monetization, as Rockstar is releasing multiple versions of GTA 6: an Ultimate Edition that includes bonus content and exclusive cosmetic access.

Every aspect of the game- the dense and interactive open world, insane visual fidelity, characters, dialogues, missions and every part of the game is handcrafted by the developers.
