SeekingAlpha suggested that Rockstar Games will introduce an in-game cryptocurrency mechanism that rewards players for completing certain missions. They predicted that blockchain and cryptocurrency development could serve as a springboard into the Metaverse segment.
“Take-Two may even adopt blockchain and cryptocurrency in GTA 6, which would further the concept of a GTA Metaverse. Given everything that has been leaked so far, GTA 6 will likely be far more than a traditional game and more of a platform,” according to SeekingAlpha.

However, gamers are skeptical about GTA 6 introducing cryptocurrency, the Metaverse, and NFTs in the upcoming game. Rockstar has so far banned the usage of cryptocurrency and NFTs in the GTA 5 Online servers. It also warned users, not to ‘mod’ the game, which includes or even resembles cryptocurrency and NFTs.

Nonetheless, if GTA 6 does include cryptocurrency and NFTs, Rockstar would be ahead of the game among its competitors. Moreover, a GTA 6 release date was not out at press time.
